Designator | Pit |
Context rating | Tertiary |
General remarks | Beginning of a pit marked by very dark soil, almost appearing damp, there are assorted fragments of ceramics, stone, obsidian, and bone. As we are following this patch of soft soil it rains hard and the ground becomes even softer. Some contamination may occur. Stopped digging the area when the red soil was reached. |

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. |
