Lineage Point locations were taken on Yuma2 GPS tablet whilst out in the field and collated into one file. At each location 4 cores were taken by a gouge auger with two depths per core (0-15 and 15-30 cm) making a total of 8 samples per location, which were bagged seperately. In locations where the soil was shallower than 30 cm, cores were taken for the depth of the soil. In some locations cores were not possible because the material was too loose and here trowel samples were taken. In addition unsaturated hydraulic condictivity was measured at each location using a Decagon Minidisk Infiltrometer
