Discussion
This was the first of three spits (with 012AG00023
and 012AG00024) in what became a box
section down through the deposits in central part of the trench. It was
removed in order to ascertain the depth of the deposits, but after 50cm
had been taken down, it was decided that further spits would be required.
The material removed was a sandy clay loam (Munsell colour 10YR 4/2), containing
15% angular chalk inclusions (<5cm in diameter). It roughly equates
with layer 012AG00028, although part of layer 012AG00027
was also removed by the first 20cm of this spit.
