Entry: Today PTW and myself carried on lifting room fill 18314 in space 343. The fill is very similar in texture and appearance to the mudbrick walls that define it, making it extremely difficult to distinguish between between mudbrick and fill. The northern wal... click here for more...

Entry: I drew and removed clusters 18320 and 18319 today. Some sherds of 18320 had phytoliths sticking on the side that was turned down. Those were indicated on the drawing and photographed. One sherd was black on the side which was turned down. X3 that was ... click here for more...

Entry: EMM and I continued removing 18343 in Sp 310 today. We were able to expose some of the plaster of the older wall phase that started appearing a few days ago. The plaster on the N wall is apparently painted red. Some more fragments of red plaster are lyi... click here for more...
