    The document describes the results of a soil sample sieve analysis. 400g of dry soil was sampled from a depth of 9m. The soil was sieved using screens with mesh sizes ranging from 20mm to 75 microns. The weight retained on each sieve was measured and the percent retained was calculated. A graph shows the grain size distribution, with over 50% of the sample passing through a 4.75mm sieve.
