| General remarks | We defined this based on a thin plaster layer and thought that it could be the surface under the collapse. However, we found sherds both flat lying on the surface and directly below it showing that it was not in fact the floor of the structure. We now think that it might have been plaster from a collapsed wall that we falsely identified. We left this locus definition and continued going down within its designated area. We decided to keep the 4112 and 4113 loci seperate though because there was a definite differrence in characteristics at this level. The remaining portion of L4112 was still more ashy, while L4113 was more red. THey are both part of the collapse, but clearly the collapse was higher towards the east side of the trench and by this point the west side (4112) was now primarily ash. |

| 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. |
