Daily Trench Journal
Area D
Trench 5
July 27, 2002
Work today was exclusively to get the baulk separating D5, D4 and D7 down to such a level that work could safely continue in my trench as the 4m high baulk was getting quite dangerous. With a few extra workers on hand, we pushed the W baulk back a meter for about 1.5 meters of vertical space from the surface. Though excavated as L5118, very few finds were retained, as the contexts are going to be excavated later by the two other trenches and we want to continue working in D5 again as soon as possible. After the day’s work we had gotten all the excavation done but the there is still a sizable amount of dirt that needs to be cleared out of the trench and a subsequent cleaning that needs to be done. With a few extra workers this should be doable in the morning portion of the next field day, allowing us to return to proper excavation.

| 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. |
