This profile was taken in Shovel Test Area 5 <br />(Figure 3b). <br />DEPTH (cm)SOIL HORIZON DESCRIPTION <br />0-26 Ap Dark yellowish brown (lOYR 4/6) <br />coarse sandy loam with common gravel; <br />weak, fine subangular ..locky structure; <br />loose; few roots; abrupt irregular <br />boundary. <br />26-66 Yellovish brown (lOYR 5/4) coarse <br />sandy clay loam with common gravel; <br />moderate, medium subangular blocky <br />structure; loose; no roots. End of <br />excavation. <br />Discussion. The Spring Hill Golf Club will be built across a series of glacial moraines <br />interspersed with w’etlands. The uplands in this area are covered by sediment from <br />Pleistocene-age glaciation, and the likelihood of deeply buried cultural materials is low'. <br />Based on the shovel testing, nearly all of the upland soils are disturbed into the Bt horizon <br />by plowing. Intact A horizons were noted on several benches and a few other unplowed <br />areas. In the minor depressions that w-ere shovel tested, the soil commonly consists of <br />Ap-EB-Bt horizons. These areas often have a thickened Ap due to the redeposition of <br />sediment from the surrounding higher landform components. <br />r I- b -f* ■« i
