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: Today I finally finished preparing the cluster in unit 15160, so we could take some levels of the major clusters, as well as a fotogrammetry and some additional fotos as impressions of the cluster.

Date: 8/12/2010 
Entry: I spend the day with digging the eastern part of unit 15160. The S-E corner seems to be disturbed by animal burrows right where we would expect the corner of the walls 5067 and 3324. The situation in the N-E corner became clearer. The cluster with the sh... click here for more...

Entry: Today I finished unit 15160 (total score of x-finds: 44) and opened the unit 15180 (being located directly under 15160) in space 449. This unit is the roomfill of my space. What I´m trying to do now is, with the help of Numan (I have a bit of a bad consci... 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...

Date: 8/15/2010 
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...

Date: 8/15/2010 
Entry: Continuing digging Unit 15180 in space 449, the day turned out to be (again) full of wonderfull finds. Roughly in the centre of the room was a bone needle located (found by Numan, who is very proud of his extraordinary find), beautifully polished and deco... click here for more...

Date: 8/16/2010 
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...

Date: 8/16/2010 
Entry: Today I continued digging unit 15180 in space 449. First I tried to expose the antler in front of feature 3326 more, I think it doesn`t cut into the buttress, but at the moment I can`t cut down the wall of the buttress, as the antler is slightly in my way... click here for more...
