General remarks This is a cobble surface located in the north western quarter of the trench. It is similar in elevation and compostion to L4086. This locus is the second surface of this part and I think that L4083 might be equal to this floor but also it might be not.
Strat below 4082
Strat above 4090, 4091, 4094, 4096, 4095, 4089
Strat abuts 4084, 4083
Strat is cut by 4028
Strat remarks It is below the first surface of the north west side of the trench.

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.
