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. |
