Entry: Exciting day in Trench 5. PTW started tackling the fill east of buttress or wall F.5075 in the eastern extension of the trench. He defined the outlines of the ceastwards continuation of wall F.5067 and verified that F.5075 is a wall connected to F.5067... click here for more...

Entry: I’ve begun to work in space 447 as of today. Following the plaster outline visible in the plan, I was able to expose the northwest corner of buttress F.3319. While excavating the fill unit 15163 early in the day, I came across two large tiles, which I a... click here for more...

Date: 8/9/2010 
Entry: Today was full of revelations. The space where I have been excavating has now been defined as Sp. 447. Sometime before breakfast I discovered a compact surface, which turned out to be a plastered floor (Unit 15167) interfaced with the surrounding walls... click here for more...

Date: 8/10/2010 
Entry: XHB was kept busy today by the fill east of F.3322, which is full of pieces of plaster, pots, a grinding stone and other artefacts. Here he might have found a continuation of the plaster floor (15170) in Space 446, but this still remains unclear. We might... click here for more...

Date: 8/11/2010 
Entry: LKH, SCS and PTW continued taking out roomfill in their spaces and exposing the plastered walls (Space 345: 15172; Space 447: 15163, Space 448: 15166). Checking again the easternmost exposed part of Space 447, it now seems that wall F.3323 does continue t... click here for more...

Date: 8/11/2010 
Entry: Unit 15163 in space 447 is nearly excavated completely. Only some bit of fill remains situated between F.5075 and F.3319. This small area is very rich in small and X finds. Some concentrations of a bright red pigment appeared associated with a partial ... click here for more...

Date: 8/12/2010 
Entry: Today, BOD drew the features we defined yesterday after levelling the area in the NE corner of the trench (F.5052, 5057, 3321, 3320,3322, 3326, 3324). JFB drew the floor (15170) in Space 446. EMM finished taking out cluster U.15160 and defined the outline... click here for more...

Date: 8/15/2010 
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...
