General remarks Locus 137 is a fill locus running the length of the East baulk of the trench. Ceramic finds suggest a mixing of the middle Bronze and Ubaid contexts, possibly relataed the constructions of the street in the second millennium.

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.
