Daily Journal
Area D, Trench 9
July 8, 2004
M. Eppihimer
Still working in Locus 2, I have instructed the guys to take it down 5 more centimeters to bring it that much closer to the levels in D5 that we are interested in.
We have finished removing Locus 2 and have begun Locus 3, another arbitrary locus. This locus contains some topsoil so its contents will be mixed.
After sweeping the area under Locus 2 and consulting the E baulk of D5 for guidance, several observations can be made. First – in the SW corner of the trench is an oven identified by a circular orange brick ring and an ashy soil inside. The northern part of the trench contains mudbrick that can also be seen in the D5 baulk. A sloping line of pebbles from the D5 baulk emerges in D9 at the middle of the W stringline. I haven’t yet traced this across the trench. In the baulk it slopes down the N but if it were to follow the natural topography of the hill, it may slope E as well.

| 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. |
