Daily Log
July 22, 1969
Topsoil was removed from the remaining (north) edge of 37-43. Earth was full of small stones, plus several layer rocks. The north-east corner 33-37 stood about 30-40 cm higher than the adjoining T1 and T1 AJ, and was taken down to their level. The east-west ridge of bedrock in T1 AJ ran into this corner, otherwise no finds or architecture.
A trench measuring 1x6.50 m running east-west was laid out down the center of 37-43, to determine whether the north-south wall of T1AJ continued south. This rench occupies K 37-43. A layer of small hard-packed stones underlay the surface and were removed. The bedrock immediately underneath in east end was cleared. Work stopped due to heat, to be continued later in week.
Meanwhile areas where bedrock was already visible in 37-43 (only a small part of the surface area) were cleared. Excavation of earthier areas will await the results of K 37-43.
