Entry: Nice last work day of the week which we used to continue things we started yesterday. KTX removed wall F.2408 down to the second lowest brick layer, taking samples and exposing the brick work and documented it in a photo. JHB removed another quarter... click here for more...

Date: 8/5/2012 
Entry: Building 105 starts to get very complicated. CMF and FKJ continued excavation in its northern part. CMF found a layer of fill in the NW corner that was very different from its surrounding (darker, looser, with very many finds) and that she determined to b... click here for more...

Date: 8/7/2012 
Entry: Exciting day in B.105. During room fill removal in both parts of the building (north – 17280, south – 17283), more and more construction features started showing up. Also, 17280 looks very different from the usual West Mound room fill. In this layer of bu... click here for more...

Date: 8/9/2012 
Entry: Today after breakfast we had a very nice trench tour, during which everybody talked about their area and we discussed details of the contexts and the strategy for the following days. GWN and JHB spent the day in B.98 wrapping up the contexts we have ti... click here for more...

Team:  
Date: 8/12/2012 
Entry: KTX worked further on clarifying the brick work in the area wall F.5058 meets buttress F.3301. This area, as already expected, is quite complicated. The wall makes a slight bend here, and also was connected to the buttress, so we expected brick laying to ... click here for more... 
 
Name: CMF 
Team:  
Date: 8/13/2012 
Entry: So, those 4 last days were my first at the southern part of the space 342: new layers, new approach, new "roommate" (EUR). This part of the building 105 was still very unclear; the lines of the walls were not always well defined and the relations between ... click here for more...

Team:  
Date: 8/13/2012 
Entry: Today we had a lot of action in the trench, as five students from Southampton University are joining us for three days. Three of them were working with DLG, moving a lot of soil in Building 107 (16988), uncovering features and finding loads of artefact... click here for more...

Date: 8/22/2012 
Entry: Last day of excavation. CMF and EUR did some small scale work on their collapse layer in sondage 18370, exposing a cluster of plaster fragments. The rest of this layer will be fore next year. KTX removed the rest of buttress F.3301, exposing more of... click here for more...

Date: 8/19/2013 
Entry: CMP is working further on construction features in B.107. She cut the potential posthole 31197 and at the same time what seems to have been a protruding older wall under F.2426 and after a bit of excavation turns out to have been fill (with not many inclu... 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...
