| Date: | 7/1/2014 |
| Entry: | Today I continued to excavate my burial (F7506)and in the fill (30349) we came across a small clay vessel shaped object . It was surrounded by a different coloured soil that was much more compact (30354). It's obvious that it's not a part of the burial f... click here for more... |

| Date: | 7/1/2014 |
| Entry: | We have been excavating building 113 for couple days now and so far it seems that we are basically removing the underground foundation part of younger building that the build on unstable ground (possibly midden). Similarly to neighboring B 108 it seems t... click here for more... |

| Date: | 7/2/2014 |
| Entry: | Today we exposed more of the cranium and found vertebrae beneath. The human remains team could see that the position of the cranium was strange in relation to the extent of the burial cut. After digging deeper and no more bones were found it became clear ... click here for more... |

| Date: | 7/2/2014 |
| Entry: | Work in spaces 39, 40 and 502 have been going on now for four days. This year me and Kate constitute a little pod, working quite hard so far in a certain space of the North shelter, which apparently does not really breath. But we still do. Anyway, we star... click here for more... |

| Name: | Trevor Iliff |
| Team: | |
| Date: | 7/2/2014 |
| Entry: | The situation Eric enountered in his burial very closely resembles activity we have run across in the North Shelter, specifically Space 99, where a post-neolithic burial (F. 3689) was placed directly next to, if not, partially inside a wall (F. 7103... click here for more... |

| Name: | Christoffer Hagberg |
| Team: | |
| Date: | 7/2/2014 |
| Entry: | Today we opened up trench GT4, just north of the north shelter. As soon as the top soil was removed by the workmen (Ferdi and his friends), we could see traces of two walls in the eastern part. One wall running N-S and another E-W. We cleaned up and immid... click here for more... |

| Date: | 7/2/2014 |
| Entry: | This week I have been working with Stella in spaces 39, 40, and 502. The space is a bit confusing, but it has provided an exiciting first excavation experience for me. In fact, the first unit I excavated was a child burial (F7329) we came across while cle... click here for more... |

| Team: | |
| Date: | 7/2/2014 |
| Entry: | Today we finally got to start excavating TPC! We had to wait a few days because we were still digging through the (huge) unstratified layer. The workmen helped us out a lot by removing a lot of the soil. I don't think we would have been able to start toda... click here for more... |

| Name: | EM |
| Team: | |
| Date: | 7/2/2014 |
| Entry: | This week we've been excavating unit 21101 of Building 119. This meant excavating the rubble layer, which was incredibly compact. Until this week, I'd never really understood that archaeology is a destructive process. Initially we scraped away at the laye... click here for more... |

| Team: | |
| Date: | 7/3/2014 |
| Entry: | Upon arriving onsite for my third field season I settled in quicker than usual, and it soon felt as though I had never left. After spending three and a half months here over the previous two years it took less time to get back into the rythym I left off w... click here for more... |
