Designator	Fill
Context rating	Tertiary
General remarks	Locus is given to the W of L.39 due to changing soil color and texture from L.39 and L.38 in the S of the trench. It dissapeared in the next working day and ashy soil seems expanding into this area. This locus may be the result of misunderstanding of the area.

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.
