| General remarks | Soil underneath L1075, an ashy layer. We postulate that the ashy stuff must have come to rest upon a surface and that this would be said surface. Also appears to go a little farther to the west than the ashy stuff does. For now excavating as surface under 1075. This surface is a hard baked clay area. Also went further down into the fill underneath because with the big pick the soil came out in huge clumps. |

| 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. |
