    AP—0 to 15 centimeters (0.0 to 5.9 inches); fragments. Lab sample # 40A04340
    AP—0 to 15 centimeters (0.0 to 5.9 inches); dark reddish brown (5YR 3/3) clay; weak fine subangular blocky, and massive; firm, slightly sticky, moderately plastic; 3.0 roots; 1.0 very fine and 1.0 medium and coarse pores; fragments; abrupt smooth boundary. Lab sample # 40A04327. fails semiplastically; common sand-size aggregates. Second LSL No. refers to an additional sample taken several feet away along the pit face; the data are given at the end of the regular sequence
    B21—15 to 36 centimeters (5.9 to 14.2 inches); dark reddish brown (2.5YR 3/4) and reddish brown (2.5YR 4/3) clay; moderate fine and medium subangular blocky structure; firm, slightly sticky, moderately plastic; 1.0 roots; 3.0 very fine and 1.0 coarse pores; fragments; clear smooth boundary. Lab sample # 40A04328. fails abruptly; common sand-size aggregates; reflective or pressure surfaces abundant; probably no clay films; occasional piece of charcoal
    B22—36 to 56 centimeters (14.2 to 22.0 inches); dark red (2.5YR 3/6) clay; moderate fine subangular blocky structure; firm, slightly sticky, moderately plastic; 1.0 roots; 3.0 very fine and 1.0 fine pores; fragments; clear smooth boundary. Lab sample # 40A04329. with macro-pore and ped surfaces slightly lower in chroma and perhaps yellower in hue; fails abruptly; few sand-size aggregates; weak reflective or pressure surfaces common
    B23—56 to 81 centimeters (22.0 to 31.9 inches); dark red (2.5YR 3/6) clay; weak and moderate fine subangular blocky structure; firm, slightly sticky, moderately plastic; 0.5 roots; 21.0 very fine and 1.0 fine pores; 30 percent pressure faces; fragments; gradual boundary. Lab sample # 40A04330. fails abruptly; very few sand-size aggregates; striations on a few prominent structural planes
    B24—81 to 109 centimeters (31.9 to 42.9 inches); red (2.5YR 4/6) silty clay; weak fine subangular blocky structure; firm, slightly sticky, moderately plastic; 0.5 roots; 21.0 very fine and 1.0 fine pores; 30 percent pressure faces; fragments; gradual boundary. Lab sample # 40A04331. fails abruptly; very few sand-size aggregates; occasional piece of saprolite of fine gravel size; breakable by hand; reflective or pressure surfaces common
    B25—109 to 145 centimeters (42.9 to 57.1 inches); reddish brown (2.5YR 4/4) silty clay; weak fine subangular blocky structure; firm, slightly sticky, moderately plastic; 21.0 very fine and 1.0 fine pores; 30 percent pressure faces; fragments; clear wavy boundary. Lab sample # 40A04332. firmer than superjacent horizon; very few sand-size aggregates; weak reflective or pressure surfaces common; occasional saprolite pebbles similar to those in B24
