Entry: | Unit 15359 is completed. Orignially it was thought that 15359 would be a quick unit, taking down the ~30cm stepp left over from previous excavations down to the same level as the adjacent roomfill. However, it soon turned interesting/complicated. Notably,... click here for more... |

Entry: | Now, I excavate in the unit 15360 on the space 342. It’s a room fill with buttress and pottery cluster on the last unit. With JHB, we have drawn the plan of this area to indicate artifact concentration and limits. We have begun to excavate the central par... click here for more... |

Entry: | Exciting day in Trench 5.

DLG started cleaning the plastered face of wall F.3344 (removed fill U.16930). Afterwards, the base of the wall became visible; it is sitting on very homogeneous grey fill. It looks nearly like nicely sieved soil and m... click here for more... |

Entry: | We have continued to excavate the central area of the unit 15360 (space 342) to understand how was organized the concentration of finds (pottery and bones). We observed this area wasn’t homogeneous and there were a lot of perturbations as animal burrows f... click here for more... |

Entry: | I have continued to excavate unit 15360. It is composed of a first layer (˜10cm) characterized by a dark and fine sediment. An orange loose layer (˜20cm) follows the fill; some finds has been registered (bones, pottery, obsidian) but this level seems to b... click here for more... |

Entry: | We are preparing towards the end of the field season this year, and so far all spaces and excavation areas seem to come to a smooth and logical end ... let’s hope nothing unexpected (burials, gold, ovens) will happen in the next days!
