Designator	Fill
Context rating	Tertiary
General remarks	This loci is the southernmost 4m of the trench. It is a fill locus. It is related to loci 59 and 56 which were above it in the same places. L59 and L56 had divided the trench into east/west but this lofcus brings the sides back together and is the width of the trench.

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.
