General remarks | Floor (compacted soil) beneath a layer of collapsed mudbrick (L5011). Very hard soil, as much if not moreso than mudbrick. Abutted by wall L5008 on the W and L5031 on the N, which form the corner of the surface area. Home to some interesting painted pottery. |

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. |
