| General remarks | after removing fill 1066 we ran into this wall which runs into the E baulk and runs perpendicular to the baulk for about a meter. We are actually very surprised, since so much of what we have dug this year has been mudbrick slump or mudbrick pavement, to see that when we decided to chop out most of this wall, about 40 cm, that it still continues even to this day, being August 12, 2002. Very surprising. So this is definitely a wall. August 19th we closed down and it appears that the wall which we left at 567.63 continued down to the fill areas next to it which were about 20 cm lower. |

| 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. |
