Table 1 Lithological description of the CX profile.
Depth (cm) | Lithology | Stratigraphic description |
|---|---|---|
0-70 | Topsoil | Clumpy granular structure; a few fragments of peach pits were observed at 50 cm depth, and grey pottery shards were found between 40–50 cm depth |
70-130 | Coarse silt | Coarse silt, yellowish orange, the massive structure |
130-155 | Soil | Clayey silt, dark brownish yellow, granular structure, strong pedogenesis, many root pores and earthworm wormholes. |
155-205 | Clayey silty | Silty sand with a clayey texture, granular and cloddy structure, orange-yellow in color, containing a small number of wormholes and root holes. |
205-206 | Flooding sediments | Silt, orange, uniform and loose texture, no stratification, flood sediments. |
206-220 | Clayey silty | Clayey silty sand with a granular and cloddy structure. |
220-235 | Flooding sediments | Fine silty sand, uniform in texture, orange-yellow in color. |
235-250 | Clayey silty | Clayey silty sand with a granular and cloddy structure, containing a large amount of earthworm castings. |
250-275 | Soil | Cloddy and relatively loose. |
275-290 | Coarse silt | Coarse silt, yellowish orange, the massive structure |
290-340 | Paleosoil | Loose texture with abundant iron rust spots, relatively uniform, containing a few charcoal-colored spots; indistinct layering of mud and sand. |
