General remarks | The material excavated as 6025 slumped into a test trench dug in 2001. For that reason, we did not save artifacts. We wanted to clean out the trench and check the profiles for evidence of cultural activity. Nothing was apparent. We dug until viirtually the entire trench was nothing but dark brown clay with white flecks which is subsoil. A few sherds were still coming from the south end but it appeared that it was from erosion down the tell. |

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. |
