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...

Entry: XHB, besides from working in the Botany Lab for some hours this morning, drew the NE corner of the trench (Space 446, F.3322, U.15159, 15171) in order to prepare for taking them out and levelling the area tomorrow. PTW drew Space 447. Today I had the idea... click here for more...

Entry: PTW removed the possible installation F.3325 today (the "bukranium"). It sits on a strange bump of plaster, mortar and mud brick (?), but does not seem to be an installation, as I believe - rather a coincidence. He also found the continuation of the floor... click here for more...

Entry: EMM continued working in Space 449 (15180), exposing walls F.3324 and 5056 and buttress F.3326. There are some interesting finds clustering south of 3326, including antler and a horn. BOD started to take off floor U.15170 in Space 446 and found out that t... click here for more...

Entry: SCS continued working on the clarification of Features 2429, 2428, 3327, 5052 and 3320. Unfortunately, the decision abutting/ binding into for F.2428 and 5052, and also 2429 and 3327, is still not possible - partially because of the rodent holes and parti... click here for more...

Date: 8/18/2010 
Entry: Progress for today: first time I've put on a long-sleeve top in the morning. Maybe it's dropped to under 40C? Regarding the floor I wrote about yesterday (U.15170, 15191, 15190), discussion with Roddy from the East Mound shows that our floor follows a ... click here for more...

Entry: Finally excavating again. All that sitting in the office is too much. In B.107, we continued what we started. CMP drew the wall succession F.3373-3304-2426, with the fill between F.3373 and F.3304 being really clear, but F.3373 itself rather fuzzy towa... click here for more...

Entry: Today, TET, DSE and PAB worked together at removing sandbags out of Space 448 and finished towards the end of the day. The space looks quite good; we have not seen it since the end of the 2010 season. After a bit of cleaning, it will be as good as new. ... click here for more...
