| General remarks | This is the redeposited virgin soil found throughout the trench and in the sounding. In the baulk it runs in lines alternating with gray clay. This area surrounds an area of clay, but I see no indication that it is anything other than fill. |

| Description remarks | It is the fake virgin soil you can see in the sounding. |
| 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. |
