Descriptive Attribute | Value(s) |
---|---|
Designator | Fill |
General remarks | Fill beneath surface L5027 and adjoining areas. Soft, mixed fill mostly of compressed soil and collapsed mudbrick with some areas of ashy or sand/silt deposists not large enough to make into their own loci. |
Strat below | 5027, 5051, 5008 |
Strat above | 5058, 5055, 5060, 5054 |
Strat abuts | 5058, 5024, 5054, 5055, 5029, 5045, 5051 |
Strat is cut by | 5052, 5053 |
Strat equals | 5043 |
Strat remarks | Fill is deeper in some areas that others, thus the locus is in some cases abutting and above another locus. In all those cases it is probably a more recent strat. |

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. |
