General remarks | This began as an arbitrary locus division to go down in an area which appeared different than the surface 1089. Was originally 1.5 x 1.5. But after looking at the soil we realized that this area along the S baulk and going out for awhile was actually much different than the hard baked clay surface over on the N side of the trench. |

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. |
