Daily Trench Journal
Area D
Trench 4
June 18, 2007
Today we continued removing the collapse layer L4111. The wall L4110 appears to be the same wall we thought was a platform in D8 (Mila’s trench). The top of my wall is 588.13, while the current preserved top of the wall in Mila’s trench is 587.92. When I took these readings, the locus 4111was already down to 587.75 right next to the wall in my trench. I talked to Bradley about it though and he thinks that they are two walls possibly next to each other.
In the afternoon, we think we found a surface. Directly above it, we found a lot of roofing material of thin packed mud with reeds on it. Since we are finding a higher concentration of this material under the larger bricks above, it leads us to believe that the ceiling caved in, followed by the wall collapsing.

| 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. |
