We started to dig the NE part of the trench today for the sub top soil. (L4001) We left an artificial baulk between the NE& SE parts of the trench. Then we took soil samples form NE side of the trench for L4001.
They found a piece of sand stone (NE) next to the east baulk. I told them to inform me if they find more.
Started to scrape L4003 to see if I can see any borders. Because yesterday we found an oven piece there- burnt. But there is almost no pottery but only a few small pieces until now and it is really compact soil and there are some river pebbles in it too. There is certainly reddish material but couldn't find any edges yet.
In the NE portion they found a nipple base so that is bagged separately as KT#4030 also marked as an SF.
In L4003 we found a reddish black chunk then we decided to cut the locus into half to the level of the big chunk but still no borders exist.
In the NE 1/4 of the trench there are some rock piles as in the other parts. W are waiting until they clean then we will give new loci numbers to those piles.
Those are: L4006:the scattered rock group in the N part of the SW 1/4.
L4007:In the middle of the Sw portion with some pottery. Maybe mud brick collapse in an angular way with a few courses.
L4008:is another rock pile composed of big rocks in the S part of the SW portion.
L4009: scattered rocs at the NE side of the SW portion
L4010: the soil between these loci in the SW portion of the trench:L4006, 4007, 4008, 4010.
After this we started to dig the NW portion of the trench (L4001) They hit a big pot and the workers think it may be a piece of oven but I think it is a storage pot. KT#4032 It came from the SE corner of the NW portion.
Also there are some rocks in the artificial baulk but I wont give locus numbers to those until we take the artificial baulk off.
They will hopefully finish cleaning the last portion (NW)today.
At the end of the day with the scraping at that part the L4002 seemed to be bigger to me so I expanded that through the L4003 to cover the rocks between these two loci.
Also I give locus numbers t the rock piles in the NE portion of the trench:
L4011: Three rocks together with a higher one at the E side. The location is in the middle of the portion in NS direction and close to the E baulk at the Ew direction.
L4012: Another group of big rocks close to the SW corner of the NE 1/4.
L4013: is another group of rocks but this time the rocks are like cobbles and they are composing a more compact feature.
note that we didn’t dig these loci yet so the information about it is limited yet.

| 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. |
