General remarks	Wash layer exposed to open air during season. Does not correspond to loci used in previous year. Locus reflects current observation of surface. Note that it includes an area previously designated as a "wall" possibly in locus L2046 which has subsequently been robbed of its stone.

Composition	Below 2.5Y 6/2
Description remarks	This locus is itself multi-lay (mixed):animal holes; erosion; dense-ish clayey soil under soil under which runs a sandy fine .5 to 1 cm layer of dark brown material with pebbles and gravel of underlying surface adhering
Tentative Date	Middle Bronze Age
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.
