| General remarks | Upon excavation L6 became a mixed locus, divided into 2 parts. First was the mudbrick debri to the north of L20 which then fused into a hard baked wall (which forms part of the W bourdary of the pit L6 / l29). As we were following the debri down we removed the contents of this pit as L6. Where possible we here noted which part of L6 materials etc. come from. Orijinal Description : Locus 6 is a mud brick collapse and surrounding debri to the nourth and east(slightly) at oven locus 2. it has the some charecteristics as locus 2 cool we believe it might be collapse from L 2/L20.on 7/13 we noticed white `mortar` between the mud bricks. After removing debri we found ash to the S and a moss of brittle yellow material that extends in L shape running N/S.(A spur of this marerial abuts L20). |

| 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. |
