Area D

Trench 4

August 5, 2002

We started to clean and to take out four locia at the same time. In L4083 and L4085 I was able to pick up some 3rd millennium ceramic pieces. I am trying to come to the same level with the mud brick payment (L4088) that is located at the southwestern portion of the trench. Then I have picked up the rocks on L4083; I don’t have them on the day plan for the 1st of August, because these rocks came out during articulation and they were not set on the locus. So, I say that I haven’t given them a seperat locus number, they have the same locus number with the debris that is 4083.

The reason why we are taking L4086 and L4087 at the same level with L4088 is to see if they have a connection or not. On the other hand we have excavated L4083; we started to articulate this locus from the south to the north. Our aim is to see if the mud brick payment is going under the debris or not. During this process we have found four ceramic small finds. I think that three of them belong to the 3rd millennium as I have mentioned above, and the fourth one is a basalt fish net weight.

The articulation of L4083 was between 3- 5cm, and during the articulation process we have found a new group of rocks. These rocks are running from the south to the north and then they are making a turning point to the west (it is not clear but it might be into the baulk). The rocks will have a seperat locus number tomorrow and it will be 4089.

I have taken the closing elevations for the locia that I have worked on today, but I will open the new locia tomorrow. Besides these I have taken two photos of the pit that is being located at the west baulk.

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.
