This SU is a relatively thin layer of soil that appears to sit directly on top of a pebble covered living surface. We carefully removed this layer with pickax and shovel. We were careful to not remove soil all the way down to the living surface. This thin layer at soil very left of the living surface and will be given its own SU number 16026. (CF)
