| General remarks | There was a small layer of mudbrick with bone just beneath it and ash directly to the east against the north baulk. The bones may be human, but since we were digging the trench as a sounding we were excavating the loci quickly. Thus, we disturbed the burial before we were able to look at the bones diagnostically. |

| 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. |
