Baulk walls were improved using handpicks and the linear rock feature in the southwest of the trench was defined using trowels. The bottom of the locus is being scrapped and leveled with trowels.
The tiles under the linear rock feature as well as the tiles against the edge of locus 4 were defined. Closing photos were taken of Locus 4 and Locus 5 . Because the level of Locus 5 is now below the floor surface of trench VT7 the loci of VT10 will be closed.
