Descriptive Attribute	Value(s)
Designator	Fill
General remarks	2008 is a fill layer on the se quad of the trench. It exists so that we may keep horizontal control over what seems to be a very large fill layer (2007+2008+2009+2010).

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.
