Designator | Fill |
General remarks | This is an area of fill that eventually covered the western half of the trench. I was worried that I had missed something, but when I sprayed the trench it only revealed a reddish area coming out of the west baulk about halfway up. The locus was put on hold as I made an effort to get the east half of the trench down to the level of the sounding. It is in need of scraping and some redefinition . The area was also cut by a very small pit towards the south. |

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. |
