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...

Entry: Today I continued to work with XHB and BOD in what is proving to be a confusing area of the trench. Unit 15159 and F 3322 were what I assisted with today, we are unsure as to what F 3322 is since it is highly disturbed by animal burrows - but it seems the... click here for more...

Entry: I was assigned to draw units 15170 (3322) and 15171. It pretty much took all day, and made me dislike animal burrows. :(

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: 7/25/2011 
Entry: Excavation of space 446 and unit 15364 was continued today. What yesterday was identified as a possible wall running in a NE-SW direction (into the N baulk and F. 3320) was excavated. The interpretation of this feature as a wall remains unclear to me, par... click here for more...
