Entry: KTX took a photo of the “section” through F.5058 created by leaving the last centimetres towards F.2424 and then removed this rest of the wall, and of F.3351. During the last days, a crack had formed naturally when the material had dried out, allowing him... click here for more...

Entry: Today was a stressful day overall. It took us over two hours to clean the building, but the wind was so strong that stuff used to get dusty again. The intention was to find the floor with a sondage (Unit 18370) in the center of the BLDG 105, but trouble a... click here for more...

Entry: GWN worked further in his sondage. After taking out floor 18376, we saw two rectangles in the cut: a red rectangle in the west, and a dark grey rectangle in the east. Both seemed to be building material; they were rather homogeneous and we have seen both ... click here for more...

Entry: The last day of excavation today. We excavated mostly in the northern area of the BLDG 105 (Unit 18370), which was slightly higher than the southern section. The goal was to reveal the collapse material without removing it. We also attempted to remove fil... click here for more...

Entry: NMR is continuing to do a fabulous job with the plaster layers in Sp.454. She finished the part where the layer run up to the wall. I really want to hit this thing underneath to find out whether it is fill or brick material, but we will have to be patient... click here for more...

Entry: CMP worked further on clarifying walls in B.107 – SW corner by removing fill 31168. It is now clear that the wall under F.2426 in this corner has a slightly different outline/size and reaches further into the room than F.2426 (ca. 15cm). It has a very irr... click here for more...

Entry: CMP did some more wall clarification in B.107 today. In the NW corner, she found only two wall phases on top of each other, as seen last year as well. After removing some remaining areas of fill from walls all around the building, and emptying a few roden... click here for more...
