Descriptive Attribute	Value(s)
Designator	Pit
Context rating	Secondary
General remarks	We dug this a pit because it had all the initial characteristics of such: soft soil, extremely ashy and rounded. However, as we went down, the pit became bell shaped over a surface (4134). In the end, we determined htat this was not actually a pit, but possibly a stockpile mound of wood or reeds, that burnt during the fire.

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.
