Date: 8/2/2011 
Entry: Went on with M#'s work in taking down bench 3334 in space 98. As the stratigraphic relationship of this bench with space 446 is not yet clear, we leave the part running W-E besides buttress 5052 in situ for now, creating a N section of the bench. This ... click here for more...
