Color 10 YR 4/3
Texture Medium sand, poorly sorted
Composition very corse, with cobbles 9pebbles 0-3cm) small pieces of bone and pottery packed in.
Description remarks Thiss locus is very densly packed. A small pick rather than a trowel had to be used to get it up. the soil came out in large chunks which held together rather then breaking up.
Tentative Date Middle Bronze Age
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.
