Date: 5/31/1999 
Entry: Continuing to work in the north part of Space 173. Today realised (when Peter pointed out that the stuff he was taking off as (4441) was quite different to what I was excavating) that had started to excavate material that quite distinct from the backfill,... click here for more... 
 
Name: Richard Turnbull 
Team: Çatal 
Date: 6/2/1999 
Entry: Another thought about the bin in the NE corner of the space (488). It’s possible that the bin was post the crawl-hole. I think I mentioned before that it’s possible to see where the wall has been worn away on both sides at the base of the crawl-hole, and ... click here for more...

Entry: 19.06.99 Today I excavated the plaster layers in bin 518 in the northwest corner of space 173. These plaster layers (4725 - 4730) were mainly in the western half of the bin, under bin fill 4618. Some of these just made up the bin edges on the north a... click here for more...

Name: Lucy Hawkes 
Team: Çatal 
Date: 6/23/1999 
Entry: Today I began exploring and defining the extent of bin 520 which lies directly to the south of F.488 in order to try to understand the full sequence of bins before excavating F.488 further. This bin is full of clayballs and stones which were all x-finded... click here for more... 
 
Name: Lucy Hawkes 
Team: Çatal 
Date: 6/29/1999 
Entry: This area of plaster will be removed as one unit (4800) as it contains no layers or internal structure. Shahina has suggested that it may be an area of floor underneath a hole in the roof and have a wavy appearance because of puddling. I began to excava... click here for more...
