Locus 3 was declared at the end of 17/6/2004. Began a pick pass beginning in the south. About 1/2 way through the trench, from all directions, just past the stump Kathryn uncovered a large fragment of a decorated lateral sima with a hound chasing another hound. One hound is complete while only the hind leg of the other hound remains. The fragment contains an almost complete profile with most of the cavetto up to the corner exposed while the rest is still unexcavated. The fragment will be removed this afternoon because it cannot be left over the weekend in case of looting and because the tree in the southeast corner of the trench is going to be removed. Trowelled out from around the sima searching for more fragments and to better define it.

12:30pm -3:30pm

Tools: pick axe, trowels, buckets, wheelbarrow, brushes, dustpans, plumb bob, line level, tape measure

Soil: yellow/brown crumbly

Passes: pick pass through northern 1/3 of trench

Picked northern 1/3 of trench. Since the tree is to come out over the weekend all terracotta on the surface needs to be removed or covered. Removed sima and piece of terracotta near the center of the south baulk. Underneath this piece began to uncover  a spread of terracotta which appears to be on the level of the archaic destruction seen in the baulk wall of T30/AGG/CNT I. Re-covered for the weekend. In the northeast corner is an area of decomposing terracotta that was also re-covered.
