Descriptive Attribute	Value(s)
Designator	Floor/Surface
Context rating	Tertiary
General remarks	After removing the top 5cm of the floor surface, the fill underneath is yielding less artifacts. We have reached the matrix under the structure. Soil color and texture is consistent with other adjacent cell room surfaces at this level (except for an ash stain in the SW corner).

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.
