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, 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: 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...

Entry: 13-08-2013 Today I began excavating in 31135, again taking the upper floor (18736) separately and as a separate sample. Soon after starting, a small patch of the characteristic 1-2cm thick yellow white floor 31143 was observed at the base of 18376. It ... click here for more...

Entry: 14-08-2013 Today I finished removing floor 31143, which is the last floor before the gray fill below. It was very satisfying to finally complete what I initially thought would a very difficult task, and indeed did prove to be a complicated procedure. T... click here for more...
