This is a completed pit dug by Hui-Ju Wu, Dan Falco and Rebecca Tavani.  This particular pit was very shallow to bedrock (Dan is standing on the bottom), and they never got below the 0-10 cm layer.  After a pit is excavated, it is often profiled according to soil horizon.  A typical soil profile for Hubbard Brook is described on the main page.
