Entry: | First day of West Mound Trench 5 excavations in 2011! While the workmen continued to take out the sandbags from the trench, we started extending the trench towards west and south, between 0.3 to 1m in each direction (topsoil removed as U.15345). The topsoil already had quite a lot of nice finds in it and also a floating human long bone. The objective of this trench extension to get the full outlines of Spaces 454, 342 and 343. We have such a large and motivated team this year that work is going very fast and smooth and we will soon be hitting the cool stuff - room fills! |
