Descriptive Attribute Value(s)
Designator Wall
General remarks Mudbrick wall. High enough above the general level of the trench that it is difficult to make any associations with features, though it may be related to the pebble surface visible in the west section. Also notable that this wall is built upon earlier mudbrick walls.

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.
