We reconsidered locus 5174 and decided that we would open a 2m x 1.7m test locus flush to the N baulk, the aim being to go down by 5cm increments to see beneath the dark, ashy layer visible on the surface of 5174. 5182 provided a number of pottery sherds, particularly two large rim sherds (KT 6) and a section that showed a rectangular light area that was identified a s a wall. On the south face of the "wall" we noted a number of regularly spaced orangey-brown patches and one remaining large orangey-brown stone. On its north side the line of an animal burrow exactly tracked the line of the wall leading us to hope that this implied a harder consistency of material.

We began to excavate on either side of this feature (5183) opening two new loci 5184 to the north and 5186 to the south of the feature. Both were excavated by 5cm and to the west of 5186 we recorded an impression likely to have been made by a storage vessel.

5157 was removed to the N edge of 5167 as we felt it no longer served a useful purpose. We asked our workmen to follow the section of the floor (5169) up to 5170. However, during this process a pit was recorded (5187) and excavated.

In all loci the marked decrease in the number of painted sherds as a percentage of those recovered was noted.

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.
