Entry: I am very happy with the work we did today. We were able to find all the walls surrounding the SE space of BLDG 105. It included features 3353, 3368, 3303, 3366. The buttresses 3353 and 3366 were constructed with layers of dark grey mud brick and beige mortar. The same could be said about the the other walls as well. We were able to understand as well the construction sequence of the "super-imposed" buttresses. Feature 3366, which is a shorter buttress in front of the much taller 3363, was build after the later. This is because the taller buttress continues behind it with no interruption.
There is a slight slanting of the bricks in buttress 3366 and in wall 3368, at the point where both these features meet buttress 3363. In the same corner, there is a chunk of hard plaster that might be either accumulated in that position or placed there intentionally. It seems as well that in some corners, where two features meet, the bricks fit together like they were constructed during the same event.
