After sifting through third pickpass, soil was rough and course like in main trench and first extension.  There were many rocks during all of the pickpasses in all of the pickpasses thus far.

Fourth pickpass.  More pottery and bone as we are going down.

The soil is mantaining its greyish claylike consistency in the second extension.  We still have not quite reached the same level as the main trench and first extension.

Another modern tile was found in stump b (see page 97).

We also worked on removing stumps in the southern part of Extension (1): A (which will take some time) b, c, d, (see page 97).
