Entry: Excavation in the units with much soil went slowly today as the two sifting workman were missing. DLG continued U.15358, CMB and DKK continued U.15357. HLS continued going down and finding the cut in pit F.3331. It is now rather clear that there must be a... click here for more...

Entry: BOD continued removing lenses of infill in Spaces 450 and 452 (scraping U.15372). While doing so, she exposed further the plaster lump U.15373 which now really looks like a lump rather than a construction and continues further into the fill under bench F.... click here for more...

Date: 7/28/2011 
Entry: Today, LMS came into the trench for more micromorphological samples. We had a discussion about wall F.2413/5055, which looks more like fill than like wall to the specialists. We discussed the possibility of B.98 consisting of walls and buttresses carved o... click here for more...

Date: 8/9/2011 
Entry: We are preparing towards the end of the field season this year, and so far all spaces and excavation areas seem to come to a smooth and logical end ... let’s hope nothing unexpected (burials, gold, ovens) will happen in the next days! DKK drew Space 34... click here for more...

Date: 8/10/2011

Team:  
Date: 8/7/2012 
Entry: Exciting day in B.105. During room fill removal in both parts of the building (north – 17280, south – 17283), more and more construction features started showing up. Also, 17280 looks very different from the usual West Mound room fill. In this layer of bu... click here for more...
