General remarks	Locus 141 is a primary fill locus encompassing the southern third of the trench, or anything south of Wall 131. Near the bottom of the locus we discoved a basket burial (Locus 145) and a surface in which the burial was placed (Locus 146).

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.
