Entry: today I began excavating the rest of space 345 with unit number 15174. It was nice to start excavating room fill, especially due to the large amount of diagnostic pot sherds found which appear to be in several clusters with several sherds fitting nicely t... click here for more...

Entry: Excavation in the units with much soil went slowly today as the two sifting workman were missing. DLG continued U.15358, CMB and DKK continued U.15357. HLS continued going down and finding the cut in pit F.3331. It is now rather clear that there must be a... click here for more...

Date: 7/26/2011 
Entry: I began today in space 345 attempting to uncover the plaster on the walls of the room and even out the edge of my excavation as I had left a rather large area of room fill at the edge while digging for fear of damaging the walls as I was excavating! I fou... click here for more...
