General remarks This pit did not reveal much more than a bunch of sherds however it was extremely deep (over 1m) and explains why the L9049 surface was sinking down so much.

Strat remarks We cut this pit into a square (9056) after excavating it to get 4 sections of what was to come in the trench

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.
