primary context
Referring to the position in a site where an object was originally deposited. Finding an artifact or fossil in primary context allows a researcher to apply the principle of association in dating and interpreting it. This cannot be done if the object is in a secondary context, which is to say that it was moved to a new location after the original deposition.
