General remarks | This is a fire installation. Floatation sample taken. Location is just in front of the two possible entrance stones of locus 1075. A second surface appeared directly in front of the stones, between the stones and the fire installation. This area will be a separate locus. Excavation has been postponed until the wall loci (1075, 1077, and 1069) have been removed and a greater area at that level can be investigated. Cut into 1075, possibly or built over. |

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. |
