General remarks Mudbrick wall in NW corner of trench. Together with walls L17 and L22 it forms a continuous wall that marks the southern extent of surface L19. Three courses of this wall were cut down, one brick deep into the wall, at the NW baulk. This revealed a white plaster line on the north face of the wall, indicating that the wall face is plastered to a depth BELOW the abuttment of surface L19.

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.
