Designator	Fill
General remarks	Southwest corner at ash sample, continues as south of wall fill. Only the Eastern part of the area between the wall and baulk was different. We called this area L1017, probably a harder mudbrick.

Description remarks	Harder, less crumbly than our mud brick locus, tends to be more like the topsoil locus
Tentative Date	Middle Bronze Age
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.
