T-23 tile: I, pottery negligible
Brief summary: Meter C/11 taken to 60 cm, ivory found in large quantity. Meters A/11-12 taken to ~60 cm. Tile layer in T-26 cleaned.
Work began with pick, shovel, and wheelbarrow in meter C/11. A cut to 60 cm was taken. Ivory found and worked changed to mestiline and sieves, very carefully checking the soil. More ivory and bronze nails found. Continued picking revealed a tile layer, so work changed to cleaning down the tile; more ivory found this way. Bronze slag and glass slag found. Carbon in abundance, though in small fragments. Soil is light with orange and black.
Meters A/11-12 taken to 60 cm and the soil carefully checked. Soil gray-brown, very little burn layer like the layer at 60 cm in C/11-12.
Tile and rock in T-26 E/77-79 continued to be cleaned.
