This morning we began by cleaning the trench in anticipation of declaring new loci. The linear stone feature in the north-east corner of the trench will be declared a new locus; likewise, in order to determine the northern extent of the linear stone feature, an extension will be made to the northern part of the trench. These new loci are Locus 4 and Locus 5 respectively. Locus 3 will remain open in the remainder of the trench.

 

Locus 4: Coordinates and Elevations

 

  1. 42W/34N – 308.39mASL
  2. 40W/34N – 308.40mASL
  3. 42W/32N – 308.41mASL
  4. 40W/32N – 308.32mASL

 

Locus 5: Coordinates and Elevations

 (cf. trench sketch)

 

  1. 77W/32N – 307.39mASL
  2. 46W/30.74N – 307.38mASL
  3. 40W/32N – 307.37mASL

 

Following this excavation commenced in Locus 4. We are excavating via shovel and pick method. Due to time constraints we are not sorting materials from this upper stratum – a plough zone.

 

 

PM

Some work was undertaken after lunch. However, a rain storm brought work to a halt.
