Descriptive Attribute Value(s)
Designator Feature
Context rating Secondary
General remarks W-central rock group. Rocks on top of apparent mudbrick collapse, possibly related to either the structure in the S or the surface to its N. Excavation made it clear that L5080 is indeed an independent feature.

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.
