Entry: Nice progress in the trench on Thursday and today, although several areas start to become more complicated than they seemed to be. As usual! HLS continued to expose the plaster feature U.16932. We are not that sure any more that is is a floor, although... click here for more...

Entry: Apart from room fill excavation, we set out on a wall finding mission today, trying to define the walls in the trench extension that we have been seeing and feeling for a while, but which are still clouded by disturbances. We want to identify these walls ... click here for more...

Date: 8/9/2011 
Entry: We are preparing towards the end of the field season this year, and so far all spaces and excavation areas seem to come to a smooth and logical end ... let’s hope nothing unexpected (burials, gold, ovens) will happen in the next days! DKK drew Space 34... click here for more...

Date: 8/9/2011 
Entry: Today I continued work on leveling the area where F. 3343 burial cut (16955) into the Chalcolithic walls (F. 3351 and 3354). It was level by the end of the day, and we could see the two walls, where F. 3351 is the southern wall of Sp. 454, and the wall ju... click here for more...

Date: 8/11/2011 
Entry: Yesterday I drew the wall features F. 3351 and 3354, which appear to be triple walls. There were many animal disturbances where the joints between the walls met, but there were enough to see that there were three layers of mudbricks of a few different col... click here for more...

Date: 8/15/2011 
Entry: On the last day of excavation, 11.8., we noticed during cleaning a wall under F.5058 that was built from different material and plasterless (F.3358); apparently there is a package of fill between the top of F.3358 and the base of F.5058. After this observ... click here for more...

Date: 7/21/2012 
Entry: I forgot to mention something earlier: After talking to Lisa G about this, we decided to, from last Thursday 19th July on, in layers with many clay balls not treat the balls as x-finds any more, but collect them in a bag like pot sherds etc. The reason fo... click here for more...

Entry: In preparation of the removal of Buildings 106 and 107, PTW and KTX continued cleaning them from backfill remains. We also decided to record them with 3D photography tomorrow before starting to take out walls. It is ideal that we can record the buildings ... click here for more...

Date: 7/24/2012 
Entry: JHB continued working on cluster 16981, following it into Space 341; it ends in the doorway between Spaces 450 and 341, though – the cluster therefore is located north and northwest of buttress F.5057. In the doorway he uncovered a dense layer of phytolit... click here for more... 
 
Name: KTX 
Team:  
Date: 8/4/2012 
Entry: The week’s work commenced in an area of B.106 that is very difficult to understand, predominately due to the scarce architectural remains that potentially hold stratigraphic information concerning the construction and ‚phasing’ of the building. This small... click here for more...
