| Entry: | A much more productive day today, largely due to the total absence of electronic gadgetry from the excavation. All levels and 3D co-ordinates were taken with dumpy and tapes and plotted directly onto plans and unit sheets. We will continue with this metho... click here for more... |

| Entry: | Work progressed well today. As our unit sheets are now with Serap and Gavin at the end of each day I am not able to give the unit numbers for each operation, but they can easily be checked against plans and other records in the files. Serap continued digg... click here for more... |

| Entry: | End of the first week on site. Today we continued with excavating a range of deposits in Building 1. We were joined this morning by Louise, so I showed her the routine and she got to work removing room fill near the centre of Space 71. There are now 7 of ... click here for more... |

| Date: | 8/11/1996 |
| Entry: | Work has proceeded well over the past two days. We are now within sight of completing the excavation of the uppermost phase of Building 1 - it should take another week or so, at a guess, if there are no major delays. The building is proving to be every bi... click here for more... |

| Entry: | All is going well in Building 1. We have now reached the main upper floor in most of the building and it is at last beginning to look like an excavated building. The work gets more exciting as we go along and I hope everyone is enjoying themselves - part ... click here for more... |

| Entry: | End of the second week of this season. Overall I think we have every reason to be happy with the progress so far and we can now be reasonably confident of completing the excavation of Building 1 in all its phases this season. The excitement is certainly i... click here for more... |

| Date: | 8/17/2003 |
| Entry: | Felt exhausted this morning after a long day trip yesterday to the Hittite sites of Eflatun Pinar and Fasillar. At Fasillar we had a great time being shown round the local village, where we ascended to the roofs by internal ladder and saw all the activiti... click here for more... |

| Entry: | Another solid day of recording - we have now produced a marvellous 1:20 plan of Building 1, with much detail on it - levels, slopes, plaster lines, Munsell colours etc. It will serve as a base map for all future analyses of the building and its contents. ... click here for more... |

| Entry: | Work on removing the upper phase of the N half of the building went very well today, with exciting evidence already appearing directly under the floors. Louise removed the curving wall feature (Feature 20) and it came down on to a lavishly plastered surfa... click here for more... |
