| General remarks | a line of rocks so far, on the first step, south of furnace locus 2/ locus 20. 3 courses with the largest rocks on top. Although this wall would abut surface L10. The stones are elevated on mudbrick pedestal (no brick lines evident) in the same way as L16. |

| 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. |
