| General remarks | This is a mudbrick surface (or possibly wall collapse) composed of bricks of a smaller than usual size. Each brick is approximatley 1 x 36cm. Arcs slightly from north to south and is cut on the south side be pit 1086 (possibly not a pit but instead some sort of mudbrick architecture) and on the other side by a fire installation. This locus contains mudbrick of two different colors, the main being the beige (10YR 8/2 very pale brown) as seen in other parts of the trench and the other being two rows of gray (10YR 6/2 light brownish gray). |

| 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. |
