Date: 8/7/2010 
Entry: EMM finished documenting the present state of excavation in Space 341 and moved over to the area east of buttress F.5057, where several large potsherds became visible during excavation last year. Some of them belong to what seems to be a pit (15160, 15162... click here for more... 
 
Name: XHB 
Team:  
Date: 8/9/2010 
Entry: I finished exposing and cleaning the floor to the east of F. 3320, now Unit 15170 (Sp. 446) and carried on extending Unit 15159 towards the east, with the aim of understanding the installations/bins F.3321 and 3322. Both of them seem to have inner fills d... 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: Today me, BOD and JFB levelled out what was left of unit 15159, except for feature 3322, which was carefully defined and drawn. This rectangular feature is lined by mudbrick and plaster lines, and its inside yielded a layer of plaster largely disturbed by... click here for more... 
 
Name: JMR 
Team:  
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: 8/14/2010 
Entry: XHB, besides from working in the Botany Lab for some hours this morning, drew the NE corner of the trench (Space 446, F.3322, U.15159, 15171) in order to prepare for taking them out and levelling the area tomorrow. PTW drew Space 447. Today I had the idea... click here for more...

Team:  
Date: 8/14/2010 
Entry: Today I began drawing Unit 15159 (including U.15170 and 15171, space 446 and features 3321 and 3322), with a focus on the NE corner, so that excavation work can be continued tomorrow. However, due to work at the Palaeobotany Lab and flotation the drawing ... 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...

Team:  
Date: 8/16/2010 
Entry: EMM continued working in Space 449 (15180), exposing walls F.3324 and 5056 and buttress F.3326. There are some interesting finds clustering south of 3326, including antler and a horn. BOD started to take off floor U.15170 in Space 446 and found out that t... click here for more...
