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...

Entry: belated entry for 12/08/2010 today was whiled away in drawing space 450, on which I've been working for the last few days. I have looked on this area for so long now, I can draw its light black on dark gray lines with my eyes closed, but I still can't... click here for more...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Entry: SCS continued working on the clarification of Features 2429, 2428, 3327, 5052 and 3320. Unfortunately, the decision abutting/ binding into for F.2428 and 5052, and also 2429 and 3327, is still not possible - partially because of the rodent holes and parti... click here for more...

Date: 8/17/2010 
Entry: Today I continued digging unit 15180 in space 449. The aim was to go down another 20 cm on the level of the antler and horn core, together with the skillfull help of Numan, who does a really amazingly levelled planum. After that we began to expose the ... click here for more...

Entry: JFB continued in pit F.3331, where a lot of non-articulated human bones now appear everywhere in the northern part and under the large stone, which was taken out today. Before taking it out, we documented the state of excavation in drawing and photo. E... click here for more...
