Locus Forms:

Locus 1

Trench: CA94

Trench Book: BTL I

Locus: 1

Date and page opened: 4 July, 2023, p. 15

Date and page closed: 10 July, 2023, p. 37

Munsell: 7.5 YR 2.5/2 very dark brown

Description: 

Top solid deposit in the first locus of the trench, which measured 2m x 5m. The deposit was composed of dark brown compacted soil with small and medium size loose rocks and many tree roots. Below the loose topsoil layer several stretches of bedrock were protruding. This bedrock featured a linear profile, however it was clear that it was bedrock and not intentionally placed stones. In the topsoil layer there was scant material though two metal artifacts were discovered, as well as 17 pieces of slag.

Locus 2

Trench: CA94

Trench Book: BTL I

Locus: 2

Date and page opened: 7 July, 2023, p. 27

Date and page closed: 10 July, 2023, p. 37

Munsell: 7.5 YR 2.5/2 very dark brown

Description: 

Locus 2 wa an extension of trench CA94, which was added to help define the nature of the bedrock or linear stone feature on the east boundary of locus 1. Locus 2, like locus 1, featured a layer of loose topsoil which contained scant material culture. Also like locus 1, locus 2 had small to medium sized loose rocks and tree roots. Below the topsoil layer bedrock was quickly revealed throughout the locus. It was clear the linear stone feature of locus 1 was bedrock, not intentionally placed stone.
