A.M./P.M. 8 July 2013
Locus 5 was declared this morning. The opening co-ordinates (including depths) are the same as the closing co-ordinates of locus 4 . The soil of this locus is of a similar color as locus 4. However, some galestra is appearing in the northern sector of the trench and a sizable stone is emerging in the central-western sector. The terracotta fragments being recovered from this locus appear to have less abraded edges than those of previous loci.
Opening Co-ordinates of locus 5:
NW (65-E/41-S): 109 cm. below datum point = 26.69 m. above absolute elevation.
NE (68-E/41-S): 108 cm. below datum point = 26.70 m. above absolute elevation.
E (68-E/41.5-S): 107 cm. below datum point = 26.71 m. above absolute elevation.
SE (67-E/44-S): 116 cm. below datum point = 26.62 m. above absolute elevation
SW (65-E/44-S): 120 cm. below datum point = 26.58 m. above absolute elevation.
Excavation commenced with picking and then sorting into buckets. Every third bucket
Special Finds:
1. Locus 5 66.2-E/42.3-S 26.67 m. above absolute elevation Iron slag
2. Locus 5 66.7-E/42.1-S 26.67 m. above absolute elevation Iron slag
3. Locus 5 66.3-E/42.4-S 26.62 m. above absolute elevation Iron slag
Special Finds (cont.):
4. Locus 5 66.9-E/42.2-S 26.65 m. above absolute elevation Bronze flake

5. Locus 5 65.9-E/42.4-S 26.58 m. above absolute elevation Bucchero body sherd with indented ridge
was sifted. As excavation continued more stones (from approximately 15-40 cm. across) appeared along with further pockets of galestra. The locus was lowered between approximately 5-10 cm. today. Approximately one bowl (16 cm. in diameter/ 8 cm. in depth) of terracotta fragments were recovered. Approximately one latte-box of pottery sherds was found along with eight pieces of bone. In the sifted buckets approximately 1/2 dozen small fragments of terracotta was recovered along with six sherds of pottery and one piece of bone.
