Entry: Today I started to work in building 106, space 454. The main goal is to figure out if what we have here is a collapsed floor, how this surface is working and how it relates to the so-called transitional plaster that we see a bit higher in the surrounding... click here for more...

Entry: Finally excavating again. All that sitting in the office is too much. In B.107, we continued what we started. CMP drew the wall succession F.3373-3304-2426, with the fill between F.3373 and F.3304 being really clear, but F.3373 itself rather fuzzy towa... click here for more...

Entry: Today I went on excavating this weird structure in the west of building 106 which I might start calling the little "plaster hill", for comprehension’s sake. I started to remove the triangular shaped plaster that seemed the most on top, hoping to also remo... click here for more...

Entry: Today, TET, DSE and PAB worked together at removing sandbags out of Space 448 and finished towards the end of the day. The space looks quite good; we have not seen it since the end of the 2010 season. After a bit of cleaning, it will be as good as new. ... click here for more...

Entry: Yippee, unit 31142, on the surface of B106, connects to the wall F5058! That was the nice result of this morning. I started by removing the fills 31153+31156 together and sampled them. Then I realized that the supposed in-between fill and plaster 31151 an... click here for more...

Entry: JHB and JMK removed the bins, which are now called F.3377, nicely sampling all the removed construction and fill. We had a discussion about whether or not this actually is a construction feature, or some unfortunate erosion/rubbish – I so far believe the ... click here for more...

Date: 8/14/2013 
Entry: Today I removed the plaster 31142 that was remaining on the hill's slope. Under it was the fill 31175, sometimes very thick and sometimes unexistent, that looks quite disturbed to me, mayb mimit hole or crack in the plaster. This showed me that the plaste... click here for more...

Entry: This is the report of 15.08.13 Today I finished removing the fill layer 31180. It appeared to be quite thick towards north, and thin towards south. Under it is a plaster layer which is not yet 31174. It has an approximately half oval shape. TET started... 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...

Date: 8/19/2013 
Entry: Today I finally removed all the plaster of S454! As complementary information about the floor structure north of the section, I found out that on the slope, the layers between 31142 and 31174 thin out towards north, and that 31174 also disappears about ha... click here for more...
