Daily Trench Journal
Area F
Trench 9
May 17, 2005
The trench was completely cleaned yesterday and the workmen went on strike this morning, so I decided to take some time and start the season with a really accurate day plan. The trench measurements were as follows:
N wall: 4.3m
S wall: 4.4m
W wall: 4.7m
E wall: 4.6m
On the day plan however, I made the trench a 4.5 x 5m square, planning for the dimensions to give a little as we dig.
From first observation, we can see heavy ash layers in the baulk and sounding surrounding L9027. Also, there is an exposed bone sticking out of the baulk in the lower part of the NE corner of the trench.
We began by taking 10cm off of L9023. As we went along, we uncovered quite a few pieces of heavely burned pottery. Again, possible evidence for a major destruction or oven area.
I will look much deeper into this locus tomorrow, but we had to leave the site early today.

| 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. |
