Weekly Summary
Area D, Trench 5
B Uzel, N Luby
July 10 to July 15, 2004
Our main aim has been to complete a number of loci in the southern area of the trench and to consider how we can bring the northern area down onto useful context. The oven complex (5155, 5156, 5157) was completed and both carbon and ceramic samples taken for dating. The Household Archaeology Protocol was employed on floor 5185 that we considered to be equal to floor 5194 in the southeastern corner.
We removed wall 5170 and concluded that floor 5185 bonded to it whereas floor 5169 in the southwestern area of the trench may have been either crushed by the weight of the fill lying above it as an explanation for it being at a lower level than 5170 or that it was an earlier floor using similar constructive techniques.
A crushed but complete cooking vessel was partially excavated and associated with large flat lying sherds in the northern area of the fill layer 5174 so that a surface could be projected sloping southwest-northeast.
The aim for week beginning July 17 is to expose this surface and reduce the level of fill layer 5190 that now occupies most of the southern area of the trench onto coherent context.

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. |
