Date: 6/2/1999 
Entry: My first day back on site after my breakat Antalya. Nobody had done anything in building 18 which is a relief in some respects. Found my first ever burial F.493 a neonate in the south-east corner. It appears to have been buried at the time when the south-... click here for more...

Name: Craig Cessford 
Team: Çatal 
Date: 6/10/1999 
Entry: Spent most of the day working on wall F.467, when Jez planned the top it looked quite complicated and as usual at Catal this proved to be true. Post F.504 proved to be a secondary feature as did fill/packing (4660), both of these were sandwiched between w... click here for more...
