Descriptive Attribute	Value(s)
Designator	Fill
Context rating	Primary
General remarks	It is the part that has too many sherds on. Actually it is area of cobbel stones (10_20cm) and many of them are flat laying broken potsherds, just the N side of L4040. The soil is soft silt. (LSD note: June 5, 2007: photos show that the pebbles of the pathway touch (and sit against) this "fill" on which the flat-lying sherds sit, so this is probably not simply a fill but a surface that was cut into in order to insert the pebble pathway. With addition of this note, I also changed the designation to primary from secondary).

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.
