General remarks	This locus was never clearly delineated as it awaited the removal of the central feature in the trench (L2016). The area probably would have been broken down into several loci for possible ash lenses, pits, and mud brick walls had it not been closed to clear way for the merger of D1 and D2 into D5.

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.
