A.M.
Opening elevations were taken, and they were:
- A (NW corner): 209.5 cm b.d.
- B (NE corner): 204 cm b.d.
- C (center): 210 cm b.d.
- D (SW corner): 204 cm b.d.
- E (SE corner): 203 cm b.d.
Began with baulk wall trimming as the excavators waited for the soil to dry out a little bit more. During the trimming, 2 ivory pieces and an unusual piece of terracotta were identified.
After baulks were trimmed and the soil had been exposed and examined, Locus 5 was declared. As no excavation had occurred in the trench yet this season, opening elevations and photos will be used as opening points and photos for the locus. Locus 5 has a dark, mottled color and has heavier terracotta and carbon inclusions than Locus 4 . There also seems to be more terracotta that is vitrified or over-fired.
The pickaxe was used to test the soil in the corners of the trench, and it seems to be the case that a depth of a few centimeters throughout the trench, there are small rocks ranging from 10-20 cm in size. A pick pass was completed and sorted in the northern quarter of the trench.
During the sorting, a piece of vitrified pottery, a piece of impasto stamped pottery, a piece of worked ivory, and a piece of ridged bucchero were taken down as special finds.
P.M.
The pickpass started in the morning continued to be sorted and was completed. While sorting, a piece of oddly-shaped bucchero, 2 pieces of fine impasto with slip, a flake of bronze possibly resting on a bone, and a bronze ingot were found. In addition, it was decided to define some large rocks in the northern portion of the trench. While troweling in the area, the base of a bucchero figurine was found.
