| General remarks | this locus was begun as it may be the beginning of an oven. An oven wall seems to be appearing to the south and the west. The oven appears to be somewhat square shaped. July 23- We finally dug the oven area, but it actually changes from a fine soil to a very hard soil only about two or three centimeters under the original elevations. The hardness of the soil, as well as the lack of bones and pottery, make me wonder whether this is actually an oven. Eventually this area, which we hoped was an oven, was abutting the oven L1031, and bricks appeared and it became part of the large pavement area L1033. |

| 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. |
