General remarks The central area of the oven marked on the surface by a thin ashy layer. It was decided to assign a locus to each layer of the oven that could be identified during excavation so that 5171, 5173, 5177, 5178 and 5179 contain detailed information and 5156 may be used as a referral for the entire feature

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.
