Descriptive Attribute Value(s)
Tentative Date Late Chalcolithic
Designator Fill
General remarks This was started as a new fill locus just because I felt that 1028 had been around long enough. Sweeping, troweling, and removal of dirt next to the locus lead to the discovery of a pit, which ended up being underneath this locus. Not much digging was done in this locus, as we redefined all before this was dug

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.
