Daily Log
July 24, 1979
A.M.
Workers continued with trowels and a seive in meters EE-HH/13 at a depth of c. 40 cms. The soil in GG/13 is darker red and contains more tile than the soil in EE/13 and HH/13. It also contains more burned plaster. GG/13 produced a few fragments of worked ivory this
morning. Most notable is a large ivory triangle. EE/13 and HH/13 produced no ivory.
While work continued in meters EE-HH/13, a new cut of approximately 20 cms in depth was started in meter HH-15. This meter, with a new floor level of approximately 60 cms in depth, immediately produced ivory and bronze slag. Several incised ivory insets were found in HH-15.
Pottery continues to be scarce - a red-ware base is the only notable find.
