| Entry: | Today was perhaps an especially successful day. Around the site we found a couple of walls, made progress on the burials and we may have found a floor in my pit (F.3331). So finally, the bottom of my pit has been reached. Towards the base there seem to ha... click here for more... |

| Entry: | Exciting day in Trench 5.
DLG found the plastered face of wall F.3343 (by removing U.16930, probably still disturbed room fill in Space 343). The plaster is medium thick and medium firm and well preserved, but disturbed by a lot of rodent holes. In the... click here for more... |

| Entry: | Having found a potential floor (U.16932) yesterday, I spent much of the day today following that surface, slowly chipping away and peeling off the fill (U.16933) above. It was slow work and I feel like I've made very little progress. However, the surface ... click here for more... |

| Entry: | Another 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: | Our excavation team is slightly reduced, as some members were called away to lab duties, but the trench is still very rewarding.
HLS continued exposing the floor in Space 454. It turned out that the fill we left because we interpreted it as original Ch... click here for more... |

| Entry: | Nice progress in the trench on Thursday and today, although several areas start to become more complicated than they seemed to be. As usual!
HLS continued to expose the plaster feature U.16932. We are not that sure any more that is is a floor, although... click here for more... |

| Entry: | JHB and CMB continue to excavate lenses of room fill in Space 342, which are distinguishable from each other by certain characteristics such as number and size of sherds, colours and inclusions (U.16958, U.16959). It seems that these lenses are lying on t... click here for more... |

| Entry: | Today I managed to finally expose the majority of the plaster layer (U.16932) and took out the remaining room fill (U.16960) to the western side of the pit. It appears that this fill has perhaps remained undisturbed by F.3331, and it contained a large amo... click here for more... |

| Entry: | Second last day in the trench, and a exciting day. Apart from very nice small finds, and in general many finds, we attributed two new building numbers: The building encompassing Spaces 310 and 454 is now Building 106, since its southern wall (F.3352) was ... click here for more... |

| Entry: | I forgot to mention something earlier: After talking to Lisa G about this, we decided to, from last Thursday 19th July on, in layers with many clay balls not treat the balls as x-finds any more, but collect them in a bag like pot sherds etc. The reason fo... click here for more... |
