Descriptive Attribute	Value(s)
Tentative Date	Early Bronze Age I
Designator	Floor/Surface
Context rating	Primary
General remarks	Narrow strip of lighter colored soil and very hard packed surface (or wall) at the bottom of the pit locus 4. May have been cut when the pit was made. The workers referred to the hardness of it as cement like.
Strat below	4
Strat within	4
Strat abuts	4
Strat remarks	At this point difficult to ascertain. It looks like a hard packed surface

Description remarks	A narrow strip of this surface is visible at the bottom of the pit. It has a light coloration and is quite different from the rest of the bottom of the pit
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.
