General remarks | This is the locus for the stones nad underlying pottery (possibly some sort of short wall) in the northeast corner of the trench. Seems to be constructed of square stones laid directly on top of pottery which may be laid on top of other stones. Continues down. |

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. |
