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...

Entry: Excavator's log, Catal Date see last entry + 1. Ghost chases can be fun, but the next morning they are usually over. So this one as well: Where there might have been a disturbance with a lot of charcoal and burnt clay, this morning there was only a fresh... click here for more...

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...

Entry: In Building 106, KTX drew and photographed plans and details of wall F.5058 and buttress F.3301. After recording, he started to take the southern part of F.5058 down to the brick layer we chose to uncover entirely, as an example. Southern F.5058 is still ... click here for more...
