Entry: I’d spent practically the whole of last Friday catching up on all my diary entries, Craig had entered one during the week and by yesterday all was lost. Anya doesn’t understand what happened and we can only imagine that they were accidently wiped off by ... click here for more...

Entry: I feel I must split these diary entries as they’re far too long. This section will recap on the strstigraphical history of the spaces under excavation and the story so far. I can’t actually remember what I wrote when because of the entries that were lost ... click here for more...

Date: 9/15/1997 
Entry: Its been too long since I last entered my diary and too much has happened to recap on specifics so I might just ramble on for a bit. I have to say losing some diary entries was demoralising specially as time is so tight. The power problem has been a real... click here for more...

Date: 9/12/1996 
Entry: It's hard to believe another week is over, two weeks to go and we've no idea what stage we'll be at by the end of the season. I'd really like to be through all the occupation midden along the entire strip we're working in, which would take us through the... click here for more...
