| General remarks | This locus is located in the southeast corner of the trench. Silty pit with ring of ash inclusion on its outer edge. High levels of ash and carbon inside with subdivisions evident in east and south baulk. It is highly probable that this locus is the outer edge of the Chalcolithic oven excavated in F4. |

| 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. |
