Entry: We have been continuing work on unit 7913, the giant fill layer. We have fast-tracked this unit and are steadily going through it, pedistaling anything that looks remotely interesting. We started to follow the lines of bins (?) from unit 7916 out of the... click here for more...

Entry: Today was not a lucky day for computers. Serena's diary entry got deleted after she had written two pages already . . . very frustrating. Onsite, the situation is also a little confusing. Even though we are still in the same unit number (a fact which I... click here for more...

Entry: The extremely windy conditions today made excavation all the more challenging. I had once complained about poor visibility in hot and dry conditions but today was worse. At times, I felt as if I was excavating blindly. However, we did come upon some gr... click here for more...

Entry: Waiting for Godot Why are we here? We are waiting. Waiting for what? Waiting for the tent. Not quite ready to hang ourselves, but we are increasingly scrambling to find things that we can excavate without having to touch the baulk on the walls. The win... click here for more...
