Work began with a pick pass of nearly all of Locus 6 , stopping at the line of rocks running roughly E-W across the trench. Soil is a medium dark, yellowish brown color and is claylike in texture and contains some small rocks and tree roots. Soil is shoveled into buckets and sorted over the wheelbarrow. A fair amount of tile, pottery, and some bone was found, as well as some bronze flakes, which will be bulk found. Additionally, while picking, an incised ceramic rim (Find#1), a spindle whorl (Find #2), and an odd fragment of terracotta (Find #4) were found, and a piece of iron slag (Find #3) was recovered while sorting over the wheelbarrow.
A second pick pass was made of the locus, once again moving from north to south and stopping at the linear rock feature running E-W across the trench. Soil is medium yellowish-brown in color and claylike, with many small rocks and roots. Soil is shoveled into buckets and sorted over the wheelbarrow; a fair amount of tile, pottery, and bone was found and three more pieces of slag were recovered when sorting over the wheelbarrow (Finds #5, 6, 7).
A third pick pass was made of the locus, moving north to south and stopping at the E-W running line of rocks. While picking, some larger rocks were felt beneath the surface, although at this point it is unclear whether such rocks are scatter or may be part of a feature. Soil continues to be medium yellowish brown and claylike, with
smaller rocks and roots. Soil continues to be shoveled into buckets and sorted over the wheelbarrow. A fair amount of tile, pottery, and bone was recovered while sorting but while picking, a fifth fragment of iron slag (Find #8) and a sherd of slipped pottery (Find #9) were found. As five pieces of slag have been found in this locus, iron slag shall now be bulk found. Additionally, an iron nail (Find #10), a bronze fragment (Find #11), and a large piece of iron slag (Find #12) were found.
A fourth pick pass was made of the locus, once again beginning in the north and moving south, as far as the line of rocks. Soil continues to be medium yellowish brown and claylike, with roots and small rocks. A fair amount of tile, pottery, and bone was recovered from this pick pass, with soil being shoveled into buckets and sorted over the wheelbarrow.
A fifth pick pass was begun, starting in the northern half of the locus. While the pick pass was being done, a possible rocchetto fragment (Find #13) and a ridged impasto rim (Find #14) were found in the pottery box. Soil from the pick pass was shoveled into buckets and sorted over the wheelbarrow. A fair amount of tile and pottery was found, including a ridged impasto rim (Find #15).

PM
The remainder of the morning's last pick pass was cleaned up and sorted over the wheelbarrow. While sorting, a sherd of bucchero with a raised bump (Find #16) was recovered.
Another pick pass was made, once again moving from north to south, stopping at the line of rocks running E-W across the trench. While picking, two large fragments of iron slag (Finds #17, 18) were recovered. Soil continued to be yellowish brown in color and claylike in texture, with a noticeable carbon presence in the north of the locus and more large, intact fragments of tile and pottery throughout the locus. Soil was shoveled into buckets and sorted over the wheelbarrow, with a fairly high amount of tile and pottery and slag found.
A seventh pick pass was made of the locus, once again moving from north to south and stopping at the linear rock feature. While picking, a large coarseware base with an interior lip (Find #19) was recovered. Soil continues to be medium yellowish brown and claylike, with some carbon, especially in the northern meters of the locus. Soil was shoveled into buckets and sorted over the wheelbarrow and some tile but high quantities of pottery and bone were recovered. The attachment point of a bucchero strap handle was found in a pottery box.
Once soil from the pick pass was cleaned up, the lip that had formed between CA 83 and CA 80 was removed using handpicks. Soil was troweled into buckets and sorted over the wheelbarrow. Closing elevations for the day were taken.
