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...

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: 8/12/2010 
Entry: I spend the day with digging the eastern part of unit 15160. The S-E corner seems to be disturbed by animal burrows right where we would expect the corner of the walls 5067 and 3324. The situation in the N-E corner became clearer. The cluster with the sh... click here for more...

Entry: Continuing digging Unit 15180 in space 449, the day turned out to be (again) full of wonderfull finds. Roughly in the centre of the room was a bone needle located (found by Numan, who is very proud of his extraordinary find), beautifully polished and deco... click here for more...

Date: 8/16/2010 
Entry: Today I continued digging unit 15180 in space 449. First I tried to expose the antler in front of feature 3326 more, I think it doesn`t cut into the buttress, but at the moment I can`t cut down the wall of the buttress, as the antler is slightly in my way... click here for more...

Date: 8/17/2010 
Entry: SCS continued working on the clarification of Features 2429, 2428, 3327, 5052 and 3320. Unfortunately, the decision abutting/ binding into for F.2428 and 5052, and also 2429 and 3327, is still not possible - partially because of the rodent holes and parti... click here for more...
