Date: 8/6/2011 
Entry: Nice progress in the trench on Thursday and today, although several areas start to become more complicated than they seemed to be. As usual! HLS continued to expose the plaster feature U.16932. We are not that sure any more that is is a floor, although... click here for more...

Team:  
Date: 8/6/2012 
Entry: The morning was spent brushing b. 107 to prepare it for 3D photographing. After the photographing, we tried to determine how to best continue excavating the buildings. Our options were to remove the upper phase of the walls (with the dark mortar), to re... click here for more...
