General remarks | Fill locus in southeastern corner of the trench. Abuts mubrick wall 1110. Previously the wall and fill were the same locus for 1105 and in 2003 excavation season. Thought to be a foundation trench. Now thought to be a reused mudbrick wall. So have separated wall from fill. |

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. |
