SU 10018 represents the layers of topsoil/sand covering Extension B. Though we separated these sandy layers in our original excavation (into SUs 10001, 10004, and 10006), we excavated them all as SU 10018 in the extension because of there similarity and sterility. SU 10018 possessed only a tiny amount of ceramics from ~350 buckets of soil, almost all of which came from the very lowest levels, at the point where we closed SU 10018 and opened SU 10020.
