We started to dig the NW quarter of the trench because I want to see what is going on there. It seems the same as L4001 but we are very close to the levels of L4018 and L4017 so I changed the locus to avoid any mistakes. Now I will take some photographs (L4019).
We are still digging the NW side of the trench. There are more rock formations similar to the other 1/4's in this quarter of the trench too. So the workers are now cleaning that part. Then I think I will make them start articulating. But for today I also want to go deeper in the SE side of the trench too. I don't know which one I will start.
I got Pete's workmen so I can do both at the same time. In the SE 1/4 they started to level the trench with the L4003 in L4005. But not touching the L4015.
In the NW 1/2 next to the W baulk there were some stones. When we articulated that we found out that stones are within a circular formation (oven or storage bin or something circular with smooth walls.) So we are cleaning that really well right now.
In the SE 1/2 when they were digging to S they found a hole. Might be a snake hole or something like that but still I closed that with a plastic bag. Maybe it is an opening to a tomb(!)
The circle that has rocks in it in the NW 1/4 is L4020. We are digging the NW 1/2's S half 5 cm more from W to E to find out more about the rocks next to the artificial baulk btw NW and SW 1/4's.

| Has note | The purpose of the daily journal was to record the activities taking place in a trench each day. This included which loci were excavated, how and why loci were excavated and the ongoing impressions of the relationships among loci. It should be noted that journals record the actions, impressions and ideas of trench supervisors during the excavations. They are not, therefore, the final interpretations or syntheses of the emerging data. |
