Descriptive Attribute Value(s)
Tentative Date Early Bronze Age I
Designator Fill
General remarks Second fill locus that contains a burial underneath. Actually, even though it was thought to contain a burial underneath, it did not. We did find some human head bones, but no complete burial as the burial is thought to continue under the baulk.

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.
