Context rating | Primary |
General remarks | Rectangular cobbled surface emerging from the south baulk. Late Chalcolithic pottery identified in the field. It is possible that this surface is continued into L1116 as stratified levels of the same cobbled surface. |

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. |
