Entry: I drew a plan of the top level of 18326 today, which will be the next spit of roomfill in Sp 310. While doing so, I had to take back my impression that the fill was now more homogeneous than beforehand. A new thing are spots of reddish soil, I still do no... click here for more...

Entry: PTW removed the possible installation F.3325 today (the "bukranium"). It sits on a strange bump of plaster, mortar and mud brick (?), but does not seem to be an installation, as I believe - rather a coincidence. He also found the continuation of the floor... click here for more...

Date: 7/20/2011 
Entry: DLG and PTW finished U.15349, which differs from the other topsoil layers on roughly the same level (15350, 15351) because it contains building materials such as dark grey brick, plaster, lime, burnt red brick and lumps of pale yellow clay. Most of these ... click here for more...
