The entire area of the trench was declared locus 4 this morning.  Opening photos were taken.  The soil of this locus is yellowish-brown.  It is less crumbly and more clay-like than locus 3.  A pick-pass was carried out over the entire trench.  The trench was lowered approximately 5-20 cm. with the northwest corner being lowered the most.  The sides of the locus were trimmed. Approximately 10 bowls of terracotta fragments were recovered.  Approximately 1 1/3 latte boxes of pottery sherds were found.  Three pieces of bone and a tooth were recovered.  Two pieces of bulk iron slag were collected.  There were 5 special finds.
