| General remarks | Grain floor in central-W. Currently identified as some a grain of some sort, but exact identification remains elusive. Connects all the Ubaid loci by abutting and stacking up against walls L5140 and 5141, oven L5138 and connecting to hard surface L5132 |

| 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. |
