Descriptive Attribute	Value(s)
Designator	Fill
Context rating	Tertiary
General remarks	Locus was given to orange color soil in the NE quadrant of the trench, which is probably representing fill that was accumulated by the later time periods than the ubaid and sealed the ubaid settlement (probably locus L.38 of the trench). This locus remains open.
Strat abuts	38, 40
Strat remarks	It was probably within L.35 too.

Color	2.5YR/7/8 Light Red
Texture	Coarse and granular w/ occasional small gravel.
Tentative Date	Uncertain / Mixed
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.
