C2

Daily Journal

After yesterdays dust storm, the first priority of the day to clean the trench.

Then work was continued in L2132, excavating in the areas of the locus that was not excavated yesterday. Opened three new KT-bags for the findings labeled as follows: pottery C.2.2132.11, lithics C.2.2132.12 and bone C.2.2132.13.

While excavating L2132, I opened two new loci L2135 and L2136. Both located in the southeast quarter of the trench. Both under what was excavated as L2108, though L2136 is only partly under what were L2108.

After the work ended in L2132, we continued to work first in L2135, the finds were cataloged as C.2.2135.1-3, being bags for pottery, lithics and bone. I did the same thing with L2136. The excavation of these loci, was done to determine if there was a relation between the fill under L2108 and the sub floor fill of L2099.

While the excavation of these to small loci was going on, I opened a new baulk straighning locus L2137, because of the South baulks miserable condition. It was cut back, in some places up to 10cm.

Did some cleaning of L2118, to see if the moisture was still present. It was, though the excavation of this small area did not produce any finds.

Cancelled KT-bag C.2.2137.2, as there were no finds of lithics.

By the end of the day I opened L2138 to level the area in the southwestern part of the trench with L2132. This produced both pottery C.2.2138.1, lithics C.2.2138.2, bone C.2.2138.3
