| Date: | 7/20/1998 |
| Entry: | Back again and I have risen to the dizzy heights of supervising the North area, lots of extra responsibility and stress but no extra advantages or money. I would have been more happy to come back as a humble excavator and work on my oven and the rest of s... click here for more... |

| Entry: | Craig 22_7_98
Work continues to go fairly well. The walls of Building 1 are practically gone with only a couple of bricks remaining. The walls of the earlier building are showing up in most places and seem to be in fairly good condition, some are quite... click here for more... |

| Entry: | Mud bonded mud-brick walls (F.’s 1, 2, 5, 6 and 7):
Drawing the separate courses in detail has highlighted some consistent characteristics within the building components of the main walls of Building 1. As identified before, the extraordinary length o... click here for more... |

| Entry: | CRAIG 25_7_98
Work continues after the day off. The deposits to the south of the wall of Building 1 are proving particularly rich and interesting. A consensus appears to be growing that they are primarily a dump of material from a burnt building which ... click here for more... |

| Date: | 7/19/1998 |
| Entry: | 19th July - first day here, didn’t expect to be digging, but a burial in 112 which was known about last year has been cleaned up to reveal a small stone bowl beside the skull. I had to lift it, and beneath it there appeared to be an organic deposit, poss... click here for more... |

| Date: | 7/20/1998 |
| Entry: | 20th July - cleaning up 116, which suffered rather from the heavy rain during backfilling last year. The little mortar found yesterday has traces of red ochre on the interior base, clearly ground into the pits resulting from pounding in it. This is our fi... click here for more... |

| Date: | 7/21/1998 |
| Entry: | 21st July - 116 now ready to go. All sorts of peculiar bits and pieces in a pretty poor state of preservation. Priority tour - everything still in preliminary stages, but we will get a few numbers. The skeleton in 112, (skele 2842) has a shell with red ... click here for more... |

| Date: | 7/23/1998 |
| Entry: | 23rd July. Frustrating day - now that everything is clean and planned and ready, I wanted to take out the fill that’s been left in sections, but it’s not that simple. Already there’s the question of what is fill and what is object, in areas which looked... click here for more... |

| Date: | 7/25/1998 |
| Entry: | 25th July. Probably it’s not a pit, merely the upper part of the dump tipped in from that corner was truncated by the spit of room-fill taken off last season. I’ve made a little progress, in that I’ve removed some plaster lumps and blobs, and defined th... click here for more... |

| Date: | 7/26/1998 |
| Entry: | 26th July. Another rather frustrating day - are they all going to be? On the one hand I feel I have got to grips with my area a bit more, on the other there are so many delays. The cameras disappeared to the West mound just when I wanted to use them, a... click here for more... |
