| Entry: | In the morning today, I resumed cleaning the buttresses (the southern side of f. 3338/3308 and the northern side of f. 3337/3307). In both cases, within only a few minutes of cleaning, the lower course of the buttress became apparent. This was a very we... click here for more... |

| Entry: | Building 105 starts to get very complicated. CMF and FKJ continued excavation in its northern part. CMF found a layer of fill in the NW corner that was very different from its surrounding (darker, looser, with very many finds) and that she determined to b... click here for more... |

| Entry: | The morning was spent brushing b. 107 to prepare it for 3D photographing. After the photographing, we tried to determine how to best continue excavating the buildings. Our options were to remove the upper phase of the walls (with the dark mortar), to re... click here for more... |

| Entry: | Today was my first day back in the trench after missing 3 last week. Fortunately I was able to pick up where I left off with the digging, as no one had excavated my unit while I was gone. So after leveling and trimming the walls the bit that had been le... click here for more... |

| Entry: | Today we had a lot of visitors, which accompanied us on a long trench tour and discussion after breakfast, so that actually not that much excavation work was done. The discussions were very interesting, though, towards the end we talked about how to conse... click here for more... |

| Entry: | I continued knocking out the room fill today and am again amazed at the volume of finds from the unit. The finds seem to begin roughly 10-15 cm below the surface, and as I traveled north along the unit, I began noticing more patches of light brown burned... click here for more... |

| Entry: | Today was the last day with the southhampton team and, unfortunately we had to spend the morning prepping and taking the 3D photo. This, of course, involved massive amounts of brushing and then once the brushing was done, the students were sent to sift w... click here for more... |
