| General remarks | Some cultural material at northern end of locus. Virgin soil reached quickly. This locus is comparable to 6024. The starting elevation was arbritary. It was where the workman stopped as they expanded the original test trench. |
| Strat abuts | 6031 |
| Strat is cut by | 6025 |
| Strat remarks | Top of locus is arbitrary |
| Top depth north | 569.38 |
| Top depth south | 569.17 |
| Bottom depth north | 569.21 |
| Bottom depth south | 569.16 |
| Dimension length | 3.85 |
| Dimension width | 1.5 |
| Start date | 2005-05-30 |

| Color | 10YR 5/3 brown |
| Texture | Silty clay |
| 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. |
