General remarks | Group of rocks in the NE part of the trench close to the SW corner of the 1/4. These rocks are seperate from L4017 because they are bigger(in most cases) and much less perfecltly alignrd. They may have fallen from some where. They align slighly with L4017 up until L4018 |
Strat below | 4001 |
Strat above | 4044 |
Strat abuts | 4017, 4014, 4018 |
Strat remarks | After we took this locus I did not change the locus but this locus is actually over L4044 although it seems different in the day plan. ( I put the correct one into paranthesis) |

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. |
