Date: 6/27/2007 
Entry: Day 3- Forgive my grammar, I am very sleepy!... Started the day being back on the platform I was on yesterday in the North West corner. We continued to mattock away the surface of the platform, stopping occasionally to clean the area making sure that ... click here for more... 
 
Name: ER 
Team: West-Buffalo/Camb 
Date: 6/28/2007 
Entry: During the last two days, I felt really bad, and I attribute this all to the sudden shift from a free and healthy palaeolithic way of life back to neolithic labouring. During the last four travel grant months I've been in a small hunter band of two me... click here for more... 
 
Name: ER 
Team: West-Buffalo/Camb 
Date: 6/30/2007 
Entry: Feeling much more neolithic after Thursday's party and a day off in Konya. Gen was sick today, what a pity on her birthday. Maxime joined us like the day before yesterday, and Asuman, Zafer and Zeliha from the Selcuk team joined us. The Selcuklular ... click here for more...

Date: 7/1/2007 
Entry: Day 6- Woke up this morning feeling really tired, even though I had gone to bed early. Maybe I am fending off some illness or another. Naomi and I had a rather long day on the never-ending burrow of doom. Ok, its not to bad, but after a while, tryin... click here for more... 
 
Name: ER 
Team: West-Buffalo/Camb 
Date: 7/1/2007 
Entry: Team in good health, only Ray staying in in the afternoon. The Selcuk team, consisting of Asuman, Zafer, Zeliha and Utku finished drawing the two of the elevations of grave F. 2404 they chose to document. Then they took out the construction stones (uni... click here for more... 
 
Name: Naomi Christie 
Team: West-Buffalo/Camb 
Date: 7/2/2007 
Entry: U14239 (pitgraveburrow) is now dead (thankfully) and the underlying area has merged with neighbouring U14213. Today I was mattocking there and encountered a hard clayish layer, kind of brown with white flecks, and dentable but not easily removed. So dug... click here for more... 
 
Name: Rosalind Wallduck 
Team: West-Buffalo/Camb 
Date: 7/2/2007 
Entry: Day 7- I'm still feeling really tired. I suppose it was probably because I stayed up to see Tom and Helen arrive safely, and also to get a phone card (which was unsuccessful.. Frustration!!) Today we finally got to take down unit 14213, so me and N... click here for more... 
 
Name: Katie Jenene Kamphaus 
Team: West-Buffalo/Camb 
Date: 7/2/2007 
Entry: Worked again today cleaning part of unit 14217 with Alex. Soon though, he and Eva decided that we should focus on the area slightly to the north, which was unit 14213. Ben and Ray also moved up to help us, since there was a large amount of material to be ... click here for more... 
 
Name: Ben Kamphaus 
Team: West-Buffalo/Camb 
Date: 7/2/2007 
Entry: Today was an odd day. I felt like I accomplished some things while excavating in Unit 14213: I uncovered several areas with mud brick, which I properly identified rather quickly, and defined the borders between the mud brick and normal packed soil quite e... click here for more... 
 
Name: ER 
Team: West-Buffalo/Camb 
Date: 7/2/2007 
Entry: Pretty cold day today, everyone fit and working outside in the trenches. Windy as any day. In the NW corner, Ros and Naomi carried on taking both the spit 14213 down and worked on the soft dark soil 14218 which seems to extend further N and S today. So... click here for more...
