Daily Trench Journal

Trench 8
May 19, 2005
When we got here today the trench had been cleaned so we were ready to start removing the old loci which were now compromised due to rain and tampering. The first things to come out were the walls Loci 14 and 17, now 50 and 51. We brought both of these walls down until there was no more brick. This basically leveled out the trench. The northernmost 2.4 meters was slightly higher in elevation (approx 5 cm) so it was given its own cleaning locus -53. As we were cleaning we found evidence of a wall but this could have been that same wall that was there higher up (36 and 39). Only one side of the wall was distinct. When we took the entire loci down 5 cm and we could not see evidence of the brick. Upon finishing that cleaning loci and sweeping it we could see nothing there. Starting on Saturday the entire trench will become one loci and it will be made into a single cleaning locus.

| 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. |
