General remarks	This locus is a surface made of small stones pebbles and pot sherds located in the northwestern corner of the trench. This locus is below the surface L4085, and now the new surface is being surrounded by 4091; that is an up side down "L" shape (it is a fill). This surface is a second millennium surface with some possible third millennium sherds on it or in it very similar in construction to all of the other 2ond millennium surfaces we have uncovered so far. There are at least three 3rd millenium potsherds in hard clay matrix.

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.
