General remarks | This is a foundation trench to a wall parallel to L1069. The wall was removed in 2001 inadvertantly. Locus 1073 is the remainder of this wall in the northern baulk. A broken stone bowl was used as two different cobbles in this wall (L1073) and in L1069, establishing a link between the two walls. The KT numbers are KT1069.12 and KT 1073.7. |

Has note | Contexts excavated in trenches were recorded using the "locus system." A locus is any discrete three-dimensional entity excavated in a trench. The key to the locus system is the recognition that a locus is any one thing. Differences in soil composition or texture are therefore as important as, for example, the difference between a pit and a wall. If two entities were distinct, they were considered separate loci and were therefore assigned separate locus numbers. It should also be noted that every context excavated in a trench was given a locus number and thus the trench itself is made up completely of excavated loci. |
