Work has continued in L.5207. Wall L.5212 goes further down but its length is not clear yet. The gravel area in the NW corner is expanded a little bit further and it slopes down towards NE. Its locus number is L.5219.
A plaster surface was found to the NW of the pit L.5210. Its locus is L.5218. It has white plaster with deep cracks formed over time that makes it uneven. This surface preserved only about 1m2 area in a circular shape. As it was assumed for L.5216, this one may have been used for a very short time activity also. Since it is an artifact free feature, it is hard to extrapolate about the type of activity that possibly took place here. At the end of the day, this feature removed and its locus is closed.
There is a skull in L.5217 near the S section but it is not clear yet if it is associated with a skeleton or belong to a human. These questions will be answered in a few days.
The plaster surface L.5216 that was found yesterday within L.5217 is also removed. I plan to excavate L.5217 until it reaches to the level of L.5207. After that, I will drop them and give new locus to both of these areas.

| 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. |
