Environment Description
Soil in pit was loamy on the southern and sandy/gravel on the northern side; excavation was restricted to a smaller area by this, work needed to be done fast also as sandy walls didn't stay in place if there was water in the pit or dry out. Because of small impact and sand in the soil, a triangular pattern for sensor-columns were chosen. One big root of a fig (diameter around 10cm) and several smaller roots had to be cut in the northern area of the pit.
