Entry: So today Tom and I attempted to create a matrix for the whole of trench 5. The stratigraphy has rather been getting away from us recently and we felt it was time to sort it out properly before evrything got really complicated. There have been a few teethi... click here for more...

Date: 7/26/2008 
Entry: Today there is one good and one bad message about the area Katie and me are working on. The good message is that after hours of scraping we identified four walls (features 5054, 5055, 5056 and 5057) which close space 341, the room whose fill we have been ... click here for more...

Entry: Connection breakdowns, meetings and football games have prevented me fro writing my diary for a few days. Today started like a real Monday (as Saturdays are virtual Mondays here). On Thursday JMR and KJK had taken down with unit 16833 what looked like... click here for more...

Entry: Today we were engaged in a lot of cleaning. We had to try and identify the relationships between a series of walls in the north-west corner of Trench 5, which Jana and Katy were drawing. It gave us all a bit of a headache and still we have no real consens... click here for more...

Entry: Today Katie and me finished the annoying drawing by just drawing everything we saw without bothering what it would mean. Then we tackeled the pit 16861 together with Maxime, in order to remove it and then be able to move over to the fills of spaces 340 an... click here for more...

Entry: Despite our efforts to lift the disturbance 16861, Jana, Maxim and Katy unveiled a new feature. Another grave! I think some members of the Selcuk team will be returning to tackle this grave in order to allow us to excavate the room fills of spaces 340 and... click here for more...

Date: 7/29/2008 
Entry: Annoying day today. The pit which was 'defined' yesterday had to be hastily undefined and a new arbitrary layer established, 16879. Sonya, Tom and I had a bit of a go at it which worked out some frustration but the very diffuse boundaries of any possible ... click here for more...

Entry: Today JJW and AH continued digging down what appears to be part of a pit located between the cut of grave 2420 and the W profile using unit 16878. While its S edge cuts into the EC roomfill S of 2420, the pit itself was cut by 2420. It contained four arti... click here for more...
