General remarks In an effort to find the continiuation of L4026 we atarted to go to E with this locus towards L4015. This locus has some different elevations by 20 cm all around, but is gnerally bottomed on some rocks, or strewn pottery and small stones.

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.
