Area: D Trench: 5

In the north west corner of the trench a very good section was revealed showing a number of layers and specifically a phased and general direction of the flow of material down the Tepe. It was decided to clean this back and three closeup and one general photograph were taken. It would be very useful to create a section drawing by the end of the season once the section is cleaned back again. In the meantime BU completed a rough sketch with some measurements scanned in a s a B day plan.

Once the trench had been levelled in most areas we defined a number of new loci and took levels, munsells, compositions and pictures.

However, in the south west corner we conducted a surface scrape on the existing level that revealed a clear mud brick structure in both section and plan. The section showed that we had come down approximately 5cm already into the structure that was also cut by a possible mudbrick basin that had been excavated in 2002. Therefore we had a fireplace/pit marked by the ashy layer defined on July 5 separated from the mudbrick structure by a layer of fill. We decided in consultation with Dr Parker to work quickly through these features and take soil and charcoal samples from the pit, as it turned out to be. The baulk abutting the oven was removed (5161) and charcoal samples taken.

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.
