Designator | Sounding Level |
Context rating | Tertiary |
General remarks | Sounding level in far north of trench to determine what is going on in that region. It appears that the large NE ash pit L5116 cuts/occupies most of the eastern portion of the N while things to the W remain more unclear, possibly due to extensive rodent burrowing. |

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. |
