Remarks low level read: about 2/3 sherds heavy, large walled. Example of white painted red wash pulled. Few rims. One type 7 looking sherd (actualy rim as well), so perhaps a wandering EB sherd. AS 2003 8W jar; AS 2003 fig 8U jar; fig 12 (#1) B; fig 8S; several cook pot sherds present. Note that this locus is oviously connected to loci 4022 and 4023 illustrated in AS 2003 because the same shapes occur in this locus (prob same pots) and 4023 is above this locus.
Has note Finds Bags, or KT bags, are groups of artifacts of the same material composition excavated from a locus. Each finds bag may contain a number of finds but finds are always separated by material. Thus, ceramics, bones and lithics excavated from the same locus were given separate numbers and were collected in separate bags. A special category is the "small find," which could be of any material. Small finds are generally speaking rare or exceptional finds such as figurines, loom weights, andirons or worked bone tools. Small finds are given separate numbers and are bagged separately. Finds bags could consist of only one plastic bag of material and could only be excavated on a single day.
