Trench D6 Daily Journal      July 31, 2002

Today we continued down in L4 ~5cm looking for continuation of debri from L20. Towards the N we found some very large sherds (storage jars?) and found lots of pottery, two pieces of slag, a grindstone, bones, etc. throughout.

We finished clearing L24, and found more slag and mudbrick debriabove the roange layer. We cleared the East part of L25 ~12 cm finding slag and a loose green rock, possibly ore (KT19). We then cleared L27 ~20cm not finding much else than soil. In both L25 and 27 we found a gradual shift toward slightly darker soil, as opposed to the stark shifts we found in L24, 26, and 28.

In locus 25 we found a large "crossbeam" brick, underneath which was a river of slag. One large formation wrapped around from the South and two smaller sections dripped directly underneath.

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.
