Descriptive Attribute Value(s)
Designator Fill
Context rating Tertiary
General remarks This locus above surface fill or collapse encompassing the entire northwestern corner of the trench. This fill is below 4067 and 4069; the reason why these loci became one locus is because they have the same comosition. It is above surface 4085.
Strat below 4067, 4069, 4078
Strat above 4085
Strat abuts 4084, 4083
Strat remarks It seems to be a collapse fill, even though a surface may show up.

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.
