AM

A pickpass was thrown along the westernmost meter going 1 meter E. Simultaneously, the tile concentration along the N corner was further defined. Found what appears to be the corner of a wall with an enjambment, near the N wall, approx. 2.5 m west from the east wall of Locus 4. Wall appears to extend more south than previously visible. We are refining the balk wall.

PM:

Large finds left in-situ as we continue to define in preparation for arial photography. More bone found, otherwise finds and soil type remain the same. We are now cleaning in locus 2 to see if the tile and pottery/stones continue south. We are nearing the end of the cleaning process and balk walling as we prepare to begin an extension (SW) tomorrow.
