General remarks This locus is located in the middle of the trench on the western side. This locus is fill below 4085 and we started to excavate this locus with 4095 and then we changed the locus, because this part is only dirt, it is like a cleaning locus and it abuts 4090 (wall).

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.
