Date: 8/7/2010 
Entry: EMM finished documenting the present state of excavation in Space 341 and moved over to the area east of buttress F.5057, where several large potsherds became visible during excavation last year. Some of them belong to what seems to be a pit (15160, 15162... click here for more...

Date: 8/8/2010 
Entry: Exciting day in Trench 5. PTW started tackling the fill east of buttress or wall F.5075 in the eastern extension of the trench. He defined the outlines of the ceastwards continuation of wall F.5067 and verified that F.5075 is a wall connected to F.5067... click here for more...

Date: 8/9/2010 
Entry: Another exciting day in Trench 5. EMM continued excavation in the area of clustering pot sherds (15160) between wall F.5067 and buttress F.5057, producing a lot of nice complete pots, articulated animal bones and x-finds. Today she found out that the a... click here for more...

Date: 8/9/2010 
Entry: I finished exposing and cleaning the floor to the east of F. 3320, now Unit 15170 (Sp. 446) and carried on extending Unit 15159 towards the east, with the aim of understanding the installations/bins F.3321 and 3322. Both of them seem to have inner fills d... click here for more...

Date: 8/10/2010 
Entry: XHB was kept busy today by the fill east of F.3322, which is full of pieces of plaster, pots, a grinding stone and other artefacts. Here he might have found a continuation of the plaster floor (15170) in Space 446, but this still remains unclear. We might... click here for more...

Team:  
Date: 8/10/2010 
Entry: Today I continued extending Unit 15159 towards the south along the eastern wall. Throughout the morning a layer of plaster came up immediately to the southeast of F.3322, very similar in appearance to unit 15170, which was interpreted as a floor. It is st... click here for more...

Date: 8/11/2010 
Entry: LKH, SCS and PTW continued taking out roomfill in their spaces and exposing the plastered walls (Space 345: 15172; Space 447: 15163, Space 448: 15166). Checking again the easternmost exposed part of Space 447, it now seems that wall F.3323 does continue t... click here for more...

Team:  
Date: 8/11/2010 
Entry: Today me, BOD and JFB levelled out what was left of unit 15159, except for feature 3322, which was carefully defined and drawn. This rectangular feature is lined by mudbrick and plaster lines, and its inside yielded a layer of plaster largely disturbed by... click here for more...

Team:  
Date: 8/12/2010 
Entry: Today was not particularly productive in terms of excavation, finds or improvement in our understanding of Unit 15159 or feature 3322. In the morning I helped JFB clean up unit 15170 for drawing, photography and elevations, whereupon I concentrated on fea... click here for more...
