We present the techniques used to determine redshifts and to characterize thespectra of objects in the Caltech Faint Galaxy Redshift Survey in terms ofspectral classes and redshift quality classes. These are then applied tospectra from an investigation of a complete sample of objects with $K_s<20$ magin a 2 by 7.3 arcmin^2 field at J005325+1234. Redshifts were successfullyobtained for 163 of the 195 objects in the sample; these redshifts lie in therange [0.173, 1.44] and have a median of 0.58 (excluding 24 Galactic stars).The sample includes two broad lined AGNs and one QSO.Comment: 20 pages, Latex, 3 figures, accepted for publication in the ApJ Supplement
