Today we have started to work by taking elevations. Our aim was to analyze (in Loc9) the continuation of rocks that was lay down in Loc7 or new surface.
(Tuba – I don’t understand what you are saying here. Can you clarify this?)
We started digging in locus 9 and immediately found a new cobble surface. After clearing the debris from the surface we renamed this area locus ??. We looked for a continuation of the cobble surface in the SW corner (locus ?) and the west part (locus ?) of the trench but the surface did not continue in either of these areas. We think that the southwest corner of the trench (locus ?) is the remains of a wall or wall debris it is composed of a hard packed mud matrix that appears to be mud brick or mud brick collapse. Unfortunately scrapping did not reveal any mud brick lines. There is a clear boundary between these loci shown by a series of sherds in locus 9 that are upstanding and leading against the southwest corner of the trench (locus ?)
After digging 3 more cm in the southwest corner (locus ?) we changed to a new locus (locus 12). Why did you change locus? Then having taken photos for locus 9, we took down 3 cm more and the soil became softer so we closed locus 9 and we opened a new locus number for this area locus 10.
Work also continued in locus 7. and we analyzed the continuation of the row of rocks therefore this area became Loc11. Please explain this After that we continued to work for Loc10 and we dug down 4 cm more and the soil getting ashy so we closed the Loc10 and we opened new Loc13 please explain.
Tomorrow we want to work in locus12 and locus 11. We hope to excavate continuation of the rocks from under the soil did not see any continuation.

| 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. |
