| General remarks | Consistent greyish earth.very shallow (floor L17 only 5cm, below surface). We opened this locus expecting to find subtopsoil, but it is really the same as L1. This locus extends acros. The entire trench and 5 steps. |

| 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. |
