| General remarks | This locus appeared to be the edge of a surface so we took a HAP sample. The sample was 100%. Only a half bucket of material remained which was not enough for a soil sample. It was a surface of small cobbles with potsherds flattened into 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. |
