| General remarks | Locus 159 is a mudbrick wall running east to west across the northern portion of the trench. It forms a the southern wall of the collapsed house that extends into Trench D4. The wall ends in a doorway into the room represented by the floor in Locus 179 and also a doorway into the courtyard represented by Locus 178 and then runs roughly north to south in the baulk extension into Trenches D8 and D5. |

| 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. |
