We started the day excavating the silty/ash pit-Locus 6005. The pit ended up being larger than suspected. We found it cutting beneath locus 6003 in the East side of the trench. Some ceramic and bone were discovered. We then moved south and removed L6006 so that it was relatively level with L6002 and L6003. Afterwards we pushed through the baulk that sat beneath the pit--6005--I named this locus 6009. We were moving a lot of dirt until we ran up against some mudbrick and what appears to be a burial right before the day ended. I didn't have time to get elevations and thus finish the day plan. L6009 is a brown soil type that sits beneath L6005 (ashy silt layer) and next to L6006. We excavated it such that it was level with the bottom of the trench or loci 6002 and 6003.
I ended the day by scraping away what turned out to be sterile locus 6008. The locus sits just below 6004. The soil for 6008 was a reddish brown that looked quite a bit different from the more ashy/silty L6007. Hence, I also defined locus 6007 as being separate from 6008. L6007 is a greyer, silty ash strat that I'll try to excavate tomorrow.

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. |
