General remarks | This floor is within the bottom end of L.5206 covering about 1m2 area in the SE quadrant of the trench. It had a very thin layer of white plaster and it slightly slopes towards E. Perhaps the slope should be seen as a depression made during its use. Unfortunately it is impossible to extrapolate more about this feature due to lack of evidence. The ground stone KT# 15 of L.5206 is only 25-30 cm away from this feature. However, there was no more artifacts associated with this feature. |

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. |
