Area D Trench 4

July 7, 2002

We started to the day by taking our elevations. The datum is placed in the south west corner of the D4 and it is; 592.081. So my thing for today was to take the elevations of L4051 (the rocks that come out of the bottom of the baulk). After that I have taken the rocks of L4051 out and closed the locus. Then we started to cut about 15cm of the pit, as it is being mentioned before (being mentioned yesterday), we wanted to have a visual guide that can help us to prepare ourselves to the stuff that will come out next. So as far as we could see another floor will show up. This means that we have reached out to our aim by cutting the pit. Till breakfast we were able to find four small finds from L4051. Three of them are grinding stones made form basalt and the fourth one is worked stone (might be used by hacking some thing). Their KT numbers are in order; 3, 4, 5 and 6.

We came back to the trench after breakfast, and we were very fast in excavating almost the half of the trench. After taking out L4051, we were able to face a new wall coming up; the locus of this wall is 4062. The part from last year; the sealed floors L4042 L4041, and then the locias from this year L4055, L4056 are now L4061. L4054 will as it is for a few more days, we want to be sure how deep it is going.

So our goal for tomorrow is to excavate the whole L4061, and then will check if we need to change the locus number of it or not.
