This is one of the last days for excavation so we are finishing the work in the small sondage bellow the building 98. After closing the 31214 and opening 31227 and 31218, as well as the feature 3387, we determined the earliest building so far in the Trench 5 numbered as 125. Therefore today we continued with CLC to work on several units associated with this building including the fills over the floor around the buttress (31227 and 31233), as well as on the floor itself. Although the working terms for the 3387 and 31218 are buttress and floor, still it can not be absolutely confirmed that they are presenting such features of the building 125.
However, considering their outlook, position and material for construction they can be related with such terms so far.

As for the floor it is noteworthy to be asserted that it is disposed around the buttress, but it slopes southwards after the breakage located west from the buttress. In this southern part of the floor a large amount of burned remains are detected which possibly effected the floor itself. Tomorrow the southern part of the floor will be excavated so it should be determined if there are any joint points between the buttress and the floor itself, beside those confirmed close to the northern buttress corner.
