| Entry: | In the last week I have drawn all the walls in space 159 and taken out walls 414 and 400. Wall 400 came down onto a layer which looks like brick although in elevation it appeared to be fill. There also appears to be another wall below 414 and running pa... click here for more... |

| Entry: | Written on the 16th, and out of date even then.
A brief review of recent events on site: On the 12th and 13th, Richard and myself completed the pre-ex. plan for Building 18, which allowed Craig to start excavation of the east wall in Building 7, which... click here for more... |

| Entry: | Today was one of those days. Issues concerning access into deep areas, having to remove huge amounts of spoil, suddenly feeling the shortfall of workmen and counting the number of walls we should remove before we go deeper and trying to work out which we’... click here for more... |

| Entry: | I have spent the last week drawing the east and south walls of shrines 8 and 10 so nothing much to write about in the first week. Today has been a beautiful blazing hot day with a clear view of the snow-capped mountains. I have started to take out the f... click here for more... |

| Entry: | After a closer examination of the walls this morning most of what I concluded yesterday afternoon is in fact invalid. It is much easier to see without the glare of the afternoon sun! The material under wall 400 is in fact a dark brown, clayey fill rathe... click here for more... |

| Entry: | It appears that the oven layers were sealed by a layer of plaster which could be floor, especially as the burnt layers lie one brick above the base of wall 401. The plaster then lips up onto the wall and forms a possible plastered niche. This oven canno... click here for more... |

| Entry: | I have been taking out the infill 4465 between wall 79 and wall 73. This infill is unusually full of large animal bones . It also contained the bones of a pole-cat which seems to have entered into the deposit through an animal burrow. There was some dis... click here for more... |

| Entry: | Today I have been drawing and removing wall 93. At the southern edge it has been cut in the same way as wall 400. The cut hangs over at its top edge and is then slightly undercut as it goes down. The wall is incredible tough and hard. The brick and mo... click here for more... |
