| General remarks | begun as an oven. Unfortunately, even though we still think it is an oven the ashy layer, along with the bricks which seemed to line the oven end after only about 10 cm, leading us to believe that the oven may have at one time been much larger but it may have been razed to make way for the pavement which is about 20 cm above it. In this locus there is also a large brick platform. Our attempts to remove this platform in one piece were unsuccessful, but it was well documented with many pictures. |

| 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. |
