Introduction

Typically, two sections are drawn for each locus. In J4, we generally drew the north and east baulks unless special conditions dictated another arrangement. The baulks are drawn prior to removal, and in some cases, they were drawn in various stages of the excavation. Some sections were not drawn at all, such as the northern and eastern section of K70, K80, K81 and K100.
