General remarks This locus is a feature characterized by white reed pseudomorphs. It is located in the center west of the trench. Long white impressions of reeds are visible on the top of the locus - probably the reamains of a reed mat or reed layer. Bradley thinks it is a bin. Fibers are oriented NW/SE

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.
