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...

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: JFB continued in pit F.3331, where a lot of non-articulated human bones now appear everywhere in the northern part and under the large stone, which was taken out today. Before taking it out, we documented the state of excavation in drawing and photo. E... click here for more...

Date: 8/19/2010 
Entry: LKH continued fill unit 15194. XHB exposed floor U.15341 further (fill above: 15196). It is still continuing towards west, but considerably sloping downwards in that part. He stopped cleaning the floor to make a section through the fill above (15196) in t... click here for more... 
 
Name: XHB 
Team:  
Date: 8/22/2010 
Entry: The season is coming to an end and unfortunately I am afraid I am not going to be able to expose the whole floor in unit 15341 due to the fact that U.15194, directly to its west, needs to be completed before I can proceed. I could expose, however, ca. 30 ... click here for more...

Date: 8/22/2010 
Entry: Second last day of excavation for this season. BOD continued excavating room fill (15340) in Spaces 450 and 452, typical fill with a lot of building materials and finds. Building 98 is now excavated fairly deep in the central part, not floor yet and the b... click here for more...

Date: 8/23/2010 
Entry: Final day of actual excavation. I spent most of today drawing the floor on U. 15341, as well as the adjacent U. 15342 (F.3330). Once finished I helped JFB draw the section of the northern baulk of the trench.

Date: 8/13/2013 
Entry: JHB and JMK removed the bins, which are now called F.3377, nicely sampling all the removed construction and fill. We had a discussion about whether or not this actually is a construction feature, or some unfortunate erosion/rubbish – I so far believe the ... click here for more...

Team:  
Date: 8/20/2013 
Entry: Today was a day of new discoveries. In Space 448, TET and PAB scraped the bottom some more after finishing the big fill layer 31169 yesterday. After that, we saw two spots that very certainly were buttresses, even though they are still fuzzy at this le... click here for more...
