Peshdar Plain Project: Data. Loci

Locus:176904:002
Topsoil: Topsoil (10x2 area, S-extension 1, N-extension 1)

General Description	The topsoil is disturbed by ploughing down to a depth of roughly 40 cm. It consists of brown moist clayey fertile soil. It contains few smaller pebbles, mid-sized stones, some smaller pottery fragments and few burned brick fragments. The topsoil probably also contains settlement remains of the layer of use, that is present directly below and mixed with the topsoil by ploughing. Later remark/addition: This locus was established at the beginning for the first soil removal in the 10x2m area. With this topsoil-locus we cut settlement layers both east and west of the wall Locus:176904:003. Therefore the collection of this locus might contain material from the floors (W: LGR 0300, E: Locus:176904:039) and supra-floors (W:LGR 0295, E: LGR:0301)
Boundaries (Contrast, Topography)	The locus is limited by the trenches (QID 3) boundaries, which measures 10x2 in E-W orientation.
