Date: 7/8/2012 
Entry: This is my first diary entry for the 2012 season. I have been here for two weeks already, so this is long overdue. I have been working with Burcu in the North area, and I have been excavating two burials. The first one was a small Neolithic child burial ... click here for more...

Team:  
Date: 7/10/2012 
Entry: As decided yesterday we made a test trench by the southern walls, F.3623 and F.3624. In the 1x1m and 0,5m deep trench an arbitrary midden layer was excavated, U.19486. It was clear that the inner wall F.3624 is the younger one, since it ended c. 0,3m belo... click here for more...

Date: 7/10/2012 
Entry: Since the database has been out of order for some days and it hasn’t been possible to enter the diary, this entry consists of many days, from the beginning of my stay. After a few days of work of at the east mound, north shelter, space 84, things are s... click here for more...

Date: 7/15/2012 
Entry: Me and Arne were assigned to the space 84 shortly after the beginning of the season (after warming up in building 3, those who were there know what I am writing about). The situation in the space which seemed back than to be pretty obvious got complicated... click here for more... 
 
Name: Lauren 
Team:  
Date: 7/17/2012 
Entry: The unti I am currently excavating appears to be a side room of a larger house that has undergone severe burning. One possible indication of the high temperature of the fire is that fact that several small shards of bone have been found covered in what ap... click here for more...

Team:  
Date: 7/17/2012 
Entry: The last week we have mainly been digging the midden in building 108, space 84. From the first trench in the midden (that was c. 1x1m and 0,5m deep, U.19486), we continued two more metres to the east, to the border of the cut (U.20414), in the eastern par... click here for more...

Date: 7/18/2012 
Entry: "One man’s trash is another man’s treasure." This age old adage takes on no greater meaning than whilst excavating a midden. Middens are basically Neolithic dumpsters, rife with litres upon litres of ashes, coals, dung, stones, bricks, the bony remnants o... click here for more...

Date: 7/19/2012 
Entry: Things got pretty complicated in our little “midden mine” since my last entry. If anybody have been reading it, they may remember the lots of things that were puzzling our little team, and the few things we were sure of. Oh the vanity and ignorance of th... click here for more...

Date: 7/21/2012 
Entry: "Let's just use dynamite, " Maciej, sarcastic as usual, responds to my offhanded comment about the lack of "stuff" in our midden. After sieving well over 3 tons of midden, and that doesn't include the infill it took to even reach the midden layer, we don'... click here for more... 
 
Name: Burcu Tung 
Team:  
Date: 7/1/2013 
Entry: Work has begun in full blast since the teams arrived on the 25th and 26th of the month. New teams, new students, and a new season. And lots of babies, which is quite refreshing really. I arrived on site on the 19th of June - this is rather a late diar... click here for more...
