Excavation Diary Entry

Entry: Just a quickie - F.37 platform walls (F.8 and F.10) now coming down along with the rest of F.3; the rest is proceeding well. However, two new burials emerged today cut through the sub-floor infill layers but sealed by the primary floors and packing of Building 1. Added to the burial we found earlier under F.40, that now makes three burials inserted while the walls were being infilled prior to the construction of Building 1. I am sure more will turn up but I am hoping against the odds this is not so. On the other hand, the different context of the burials makes them slightly more interesting and so far they all appear to be single interments cut into the cleaner lower infill or placed within the upper ashy layer.Entered By: Gavin Lucas
