General remarks This is a cleaning of a wall locus. It includes compact and lose silt packed around stones from off season accumulation. Since it is a cleaning-of-the-wall locus the bottom depths are decided arbitrary, because so little soil were removed horizontally and therefore did not affect the bottom depth significally.

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.
