Descriptive Attribute Value(s)
Designator Wall
Context rating Primary
General remarks This is a wall running from the center of the south baulk north for about four meters. This whole structure was thought to be one wall untill we realized that part of floor 4065 goes under part of the wall to join with 4083. In other places 4086 and 4081 are clearle bonded. We now think that 4081 was built in two stages. Originall there maight have been a doorway connecting the surfaces and later this doorway was blocked.

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.
