Tentative Date | Early Bronze Age I |

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. |
