| Entry: | Whats happened since my last entry? Well things apart from the burial situation are swinging along nicely. The digging of the burials from the platforms will no doubt take some time, not only do we appear to have a few judging by the already exposed section we managed to achieve while looking for a burial. The problem is that while cuts can be seen through the plaster rendering on the platforms, lower down they are less easy to distinguish from the near homogenous disturbed grave fills below. Richard has tried to excavate a 2nd cut on platform F. 1320. While this contained, as did the first, disarticulated human bone, he is not convinced that their now is a burial in the cut, that is it may be another removal pit. We seem to be developing a topsy turvey difficulty here, usually iwe can find the burials but not the cuts here we find the cuts but no burials, hhhmmmm! Elsewhere we have 'skinned' platform F. 1312 that is taken off all the plaster surfaces to the construction bricks, we think. We have also now removed oven F. 1326 and the remains of hearth F. 1328 and another phase of the north platform. Probably, apart from the platforms the most complicated thing we have left is the remnants of the oven under F. 1328, this plus the few remaing floor layers. Barring unforseen complications we have have removed most of the building over the next couple of days, apart from the people hiding under the platforms, bugger.Entered By: Roddy Regan |
