Area D
Trench 6
Jason Kennedy and Barish Uzel
Today we began by cleaning the trench and taking opening elevations. The eastern baulk of the trench was being taken out by two workers containing our efforts to the western portion of the trench. In Locus 168 three workers were working to uncover a surface (Locus 171) emerging along the western baulk that may connect to wall Locus 159 and represent an outdoor work surface associated with the building north of Wall 159. Resul and Barish began bringing down the western half of Locus 167, the collapsed building north of wall Locus 159, to the level reached in the eastern portion of the Locus on Thursday, roughly 10 cm. After discovering a possible surface in Locus 167 we began to attempt to define that surface in the eastern half of the trench once the baulk was sufficiently removed. We unfortunately appeared to have gone below the floor in the center of Locus 167, but will proceed into the eastern third of the locus to attempt to discover the floor in the portion closed by baulk cleaning. I then removed Locus 169 in the southern third of the trench to determine its depth. Locus 169 represents a possible oven foundation and was only ca. 5 cm in depth and revealed an extension of the fill in Locus 168 below it. We then cleaned the trench and photographed. Locus 167 yielded several significant small finds including two pendants (KT 41 and KT 46), a seal impression (KT 45), several beads, and unfired andiron (KT 49) and three spindle whorls (KT 38, KT 39, and KT 40.

| 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. |
