Descriptive Attribute Value(s)
Designator Fill
General remarks This locus was started because the end of the upper topsoil layer was reached, it was closed on the west side when areas of stones and different fill were found, on the east when it was realized that there were way too many KT numbers for this locus.

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.
