Locus Summary
A total of 18 loci were defined within meters 273-28S / 275-280E of CD 9 in the 2001 season. Although 18 loci were defined only 9 distinct soil variations were encountered as represented by loci 1,2,3, and 8. Many of the additional loci cna be equated to loci 1,2, and 3. These were created because of a series of extensions that were made over the course of excavation (see diagrams in KLH III pg.49, 57, 65, 69, and 75). Locus 8 represents a pocket of carbon surrounded by locus 9 which is a light yellowish brown soil. THroughout the majority of th trench, there appears to be three main loci. The topsoil layer is generally followed by either a layer of dark brown soil with pockets of carbon or followed directly with the third locus characteristically containing yellowish brown soil and small stone particules throughout and pockets of galestra. The topsoil cuts generally contian small amounts of pottery and terracotta that is very heavily worn and fragmentary. The soil containing the carbon concentrations have an increased amount of pottery and terracotta but many are still heavily worn. Locus 3 produced
a large amount of pottery and tile and few showed any signs of wear.
Locus 1: characteristically dark brown soil with heavy organic material. This represents the topsoil cut and produced small amounts of very worn pottery and tile,
