Trench D6 Daily Journal July 13, 2002
We returned from holiday to find little damage, all to the upper portions of furnace debri (?) L6. As we cleaned this we noticed white mortar (?) between the mudbricks. We then continued excavating L9, going 2 cm at first. We found another piece of slag (L9KT10) but not much change in soil color or consistency. We excavated L8 (West of furnace L2/L20) and L29 (East of L2/L20) 2cm. In L8 we found 2 (maybe 3) mudbricks (no loci yet), plaster, a small pit (L18), slag (L8 KT2), and pieces of pottery. (Note: L8 is only 2.7 x 0.68 m large). We took 3 soil samples from this area (from the north, middle, and south), and took 3 photographs of this region. We dug another 2 cm from L9 and L29 and took soil samples, but still did not find any more furnace debri.
In the center of our second step we articulated L15 and found pieces of basalt, large river rocks, large heavy ceramics associated with the typical Kenan Tepe "river conglomerate" stone pile grouping. We noticed a harder packed area and opened L17 (West of L15) before cleaning up for the day.

| 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. |
