Descriptive Attribute Value(s)
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.
Strat below 5113
Strat abuts 5125
Strat is cut by 5116
Top depth west 586.91
Top depth east 586.88
Bottom depth center 586.46
Dimension length 3.0
Dimension width 0.8
Start date 2002-08-01
End date 2002-08-19
Color 7.5 YR 6/3
Texture coarse loam and fine ash
Composition ash and loosely packed loam
Tentative Date Mixed
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.
