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. |
