General remarks	(Previously Level 3) The surface contains some small pebbles, flat-lying pot-sherds. Soil is gray-white, (very) fine sand, loosely compacted. We will bash this level and go 25 cm down. Found many pot sherds (too many). Very sandy soil. Did not find any definite surface below this. Found a possible mud-brick wall, but it was not a definite straight line. Some soil were loose and some were compacted.

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.
