Area D Trench 4
July 9, 2002
We started to the day by articulating the surface L4065.While the articulating process kept on going we were also able to excavate the north west side of the trench; L4064 which had been opened yesterday. The color of this locus is 7YR 5/4 reddish brown. I thought that we might be able to pick up a great bunch of ceramics but it did not worked out like that. But, we were able to find a nail, it was located next to north baulk, at the north east corner of the locus; 4064.The KT # for this nail is 5, and its elevation was 590.341.
After breakfast we have articulated L4065 and then swept it. Also we have excavated L4064 for a second 10cm down. As mentioned before the surface’s ceramic pieces show us that we are in the 2nd millennium B.C. So, I want to know if the surface goes beneath the gaint rocks of L4037 (the locus number from last year). In a very close time I will be at the same level with D3, but waiting for a while might be much better, because we are able to observe the coming surfaces.
For this reason my aim for tomorrow is to excavate L4064 at least for 10cm more. So, by this way I will be able to see if the mud-brick wall goes much deeper or not, the locus number of the mud-brick is 4054.

| 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. |
