| 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. |
| Top depth north-west | 590.111 |

| Start date | 2002-07-30 |
| End date | 2002-08-06 |
| Color | 5 YR 5/6 yellowish red |
| Composition | hard packed dirt with potsherds and small rocks. |
| Description remarks | Similar in compostion to L4086. |
| Tentative Date | Middle Bronze Age |
| 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. |

|---|---|
| Material | river cobbles |
| Foundation trench | No |
| Associated surfaces | 4086 |
| Surface construction | we are able to see some river cobbles and pedestals from the second millenium BC |
| Subfloor fill | 4082 |
| Associated walls | 4084, 4081 |
| Remarks | This surface dates to the second millenium BC. It is the surface after 4082; that was the first surface at the north part of the trench. |
