General remarks This locus is located against the eastern baulk of D8 south of the walls in Locus 135. It probably represents a wall collapse. The size of this locus has changed since new locus was designated out of this area (new locus L138). Current dimensions are 2.4m x 1.10m and its shape is irregular (see plan).

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.
