Bradley is taking some photos right now, and after we will take our elevations, and will check on the previous ones. After all these L4041 will be taken down to the same level with L4042, and probably I will be able to see if L4037 is going beneath the sealed floor L4041, or not.

My second aim is to find out if the there is a continuation of the mud brick wall or not. But, I think that a few rocks of L4037 are going beneath it, that is to the N direction. May be the sealed floor L4041 is touching the mud brick wall; L4035.

We began to remove (to rock'n roll) the sealed floor L4041, at the N side of the locus the soil became a bit soft. I have taken a soil sample for Catharine. The color of the soil from L4041 was 10YR 5/2 grayish brown, but now the soil sample that I have taken is 7.5YR 5/4 brown and it is fine as the pervious one. By the way, I think that a few rocks are counting under the sealed floor, but not more than three pieces. I am very lucky, because a new floor is showing up.

On the south side of the floor, that was just laying on the floor my workers and I have found a small find, it has the kt# as 4245 (L4041). I couldn’t decide what it was.

We will continue after breakfast, less is left from the L4041, than I will take L4034 to the same level, I started yesterday to do it, it took me only a couple minutes to take it off. By the way I have taken the sealed floor out, and I saw that the rocks are under the floor, but they are few, the rocks are rock'n roll'n...

I am closing up for this season... Tomorrow I will articulate my baulks, and I will take some more photos.
