Remarks:
Locus distribution approx 10cm above actual dig activity. Difficult determine new loci with balk rock and debris. Strat separation is now very clear. Took North point at wall as reconstuct/floating +10cm 30 cm off due to rock and debris coverage. Once debris was cleared the locus change became clear.
