I have taken a soil sample from L4024, and now I will articulate it and also I will go on with L4023, I will try to articulate as much as I can.

I will try to take out of the rocks and also I will remove the floor. It seems to be like that, the rocks are standing on the floor and they do not have a continuation. I have taken my elevations for new loci.

L4024 is a pit, and it is full of collapsed mud bricks. I am articulating it. First when I saw it yesterday when I began to remove the soil in the pit I thought that I found ash in it. There is nothing special going on in the pit. The soil in the soil pit is getting harder, and by the way the it began to how up its shape. I wonder how it will end.

By the way I am articulating the rocks in between L4023 and L4026 but I could not find anything right now. As I said before the floor is under beneath it, they are just rocks laying rocks on the floor.

At the NW corner of the trench I have found an ash layer, my workers got very happy that they have found an oven, but still I say that it is a pit.

After breakfast I have found the pit, and now I am removing the L4023 and L4026 at the same time, I hope that I will be finished tomorrow before breakfast.
