    C—122 to 213 centimeters (48.0 to 83.9 inches); fragments. Lab sample # OSU0006004. The sample at 84 inches was taken at time of excavation but the horizons between 48 and 84 inches could not be sampled or described because water and mud filled the pit at time of sampling. Composition of pebbles in coarse skeleton was 36% sandstone, 23%
