Descriptive Attribute Value(s)
Designator Floor/Surface
General remarks Fill above an ashy surface which is actually the southernmost extent (before the baulk) of surface L5027. Because of the thin nature of the surface, it was mostly included in this locus when it was dug.
Strat below 5011
Strat above 5043
Strat is cut by 5029
Strat equals 5027

Bottom depth center 587.89
Dimension length 0.8
Dimension width 2.2
Start date 2001-07-23
End date 2001-07-24
Color 10 YR 3/4
Texture Very Fine
Composition ashy silt
Tentative Date Uncertain
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.
