Descriptive Attribute Value(s)
Designator Feature
General remarks the rocks at the Se corner of the trench (has pottery) The rocks are arrenged in a scattered setting out from the south wall. The rocks vary in size. But there is the area of the flat looking rock group in the middle composes a round feature. There is a ceramic oven below this feature, with a large flat rock on top, part of this locus. There are basalt pieces surrounding the oven. The dirt to the S of the oven is also part of this locus as we bring it all level because of the some small rocks in the surrounding that I thought they are the part of the locus before we found out that the ral locus with the large rocks is covering the oven.

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.
