 Description of the Locus

General Description	The locus is fill of pit cut of Locus:182908:009 in the west of the trench. The soil is moist loose, silty, well sorted. Some pottery, few bones. In the edge of south west of trench many cobble of stones covered the area, the stones are going down to the pit, they lie as the pile in irregular position. One row of stones are in between both trench 182908 and 282908 which might created by looters but not completely sure. the soil in the northern part of locus is very dark 10YR2/4 dark grayish brown but in the southern part is mixture between dark and reddish. 09.09.2019_30 buckets = 210 liters removed 10.09.2019_ 97 buckets = 679 liters removed 11.09.2019_ 39 buckets = 273 liters
Boundaries (Contrast, Topography)	This locus number was first used to generally identify the dark soil in the whole B-shaped area at the western end of our SW quarter trench. After removing around 15 cm of soil, the impression of the B-shape dissolved into at least one pit filling in the north and a distinct deposit or pit filling south of it. After confirming the existence of a pit outline (Locus:182908:009), we created new find collections which originate now exclusively from the northern pit. Locus no. 008 is from now on limited to the fill inside this pit shape. The upper layer of the material within the pit is not substantially different from the looting deposit Locus:182908:007.
