Date: 9/4/1997 
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...

Date: 9/4/1997 
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... 
 
Name: Shahina Farid 
Team: Field Director 
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: 9/29/1997 
Entry: Shahina: Last Diary 29th Sept. Trenches are backfilled, most of the house has been packed and only the very last of the team are here. As usual the close up has been hectic, however many days we allow at the end of the project there never seems to be ... click here for more...

Team: Field Director 
Date: 9/10/1996 
Entry: The end aim of the season to reach floor level in spaces 116 and 117 looks good one day and not good the following. The fact that Cicek has the tops of a thin walled feature 72 implies we're not far off, the fills of the space are apparently homogenous, ... click here for more...

Team: Field Director 
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...
