Context rating	Primary
General remarks	Locus 101 is a pit feature within locus 103 in the northeastern portion of the trench. The pit was a compact silt with numerous ash lens and mudbrick patches. Artifact density was significantly lower than that of Locus 103 surrounding it.

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.
