Date: 7/3/2012 
Entry: Its been a hectic couple of days, although it seems as though things are finally settling down. I’ve been here since the 19th of June, and it already feels like I’ve actually never left. Exploring those feelings are for another day though. The season ... click here for more...

Date: 7/8/2012 
Entry: This is my first diary entry for the 2012 season. I have been here for two weeks already, so this is long overdue. I have been working with Burcu in the North area, and I have been excavating two burials. The first one was a small Neolithic child burial ... click here for more...

Team:  
Date: 7/10/2012 
Entry: As decided yesterday we made a test trench by the southern walls, F.3623 and F.3624. In the 1x1m and 0,5m deep trench an arbitrary midden layer was excavated, U.19486. It was clear that the inner wall F.3624 is the younger one, since it ended c. 0,3m belo... click here for more...

Date: 7/15/2012 
Entry: Me and Arne were assigned to the space 84 shortly after the beginning of the season (after warming up in building 3, those who were there know what I am writing about). The situation in the space which seemed back than to be pretty obvious got complicated... click here for more...

Team:  
Date: 7/17/2012 
Entry: The last week we have mainly been digging the midden in building 108, space 84. From the first trench in the midden (that was c. 1x1m and 0,5m deep, U.19486), we continued two more metres to the east, to the border of the cut (U.20414), in the eastern par... click here for more...

Date: 7/18/2012 
Entry: "One man’s trash is another man’s treasure." This age old adage takes on no greater meaning than whilst excavating a midden. Middens are basically Neolithic dumpsters, rife with litres upon litres of ashes, coals, dung, stones, bricks, the bony remnants o... click here for more...

Date: 7/19/2012 
Entry: Things got pretty complicated in our little “midden mine” since my last entry. If anybody have been reading it, they may remember the lots of things that were puzzling our little team, and the few things we were sure of. Oh the vanity and ignorance of th... click here for more...

Entry: Priority feedback for pottery from 20449 - North - Sp.84 There are just a couple of tiny pieces from this unit. Most of the pottery we have has come from middens, but this midden is strange because there is very very little pottery.
