Description Locus 1 spanned the entirety of the original part of the trench. Soil was medium brown colored and was loose in texture. There were also patches of paler soil in some locations, as well as some pockets of darker brown soil. The opening surface of Locus 1 was significantly higher in the center of the trench, with a ridge running north-south across the locus. Locus 1 contained many roots as well as rocks of various sizes, some quite large. There also were some fragments of chalky limestone, as well as a large pocket of carbon in the southwest corner of the locus. Locus 1 contained high quantities of roofing tile, including some large, well-preserved fragments. Moderately high quantities of pottery and bone were found as well. Some of the tile found within this locus was modern, although most materials found were ancient. The chronological jumbling of materials, coupled with inconsistent soil types and an apparent artificial ridge running north-south across the opening surface of the locus all indicate that this was the remains of a dirt dump created in earlier years of excavation. Locus 1 is equivalent to Locus 3.
