| General remarks | We first thought this was a ; Fragmented oven and associated material found on 2nd step in north center of trench.Slag found in souther quarter,pottery and small stones found in north quarter.Continues under first step. After excavation we found a line of white covered conglomerate stones and mud brick. The material is soft and crumbly. After furthc excavation we realized this was in fact the hard baked slag suered edge of the pit containing L29 and the fill of L6. |

| 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. |
