Descriptive Attribute Value(s)
Designator Floor/Surface
Context rating Primary
General remarks Initially noted as an orangey brown show through in fill locus 5198. On excavation a central area of compacted material, particularly large rocks (50mm and above), was recorded. It is possible that this area formed part of a wider activity area shown by flat-lying artefacts such as the potsherds, smooth stone with grain impressions and cooking vessel. This surface was HAP sampled.

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.
