The baulk wall in the original T22 west extension trench were trimmed today so that the stratigraphy of the trench could be seen more clearly. This was needed because erosion and weathering had eaten away at the walls. Before work could begin in the new section of T22 west extension (meters 50s167E to 52s164E), a large rock pile had to be moved. The rocks were transported several meters to the south-east of the trench. Once the rock pile was removed, a datum point was established along the 164E line on a tree stump. It was set cut the same elevation as the datum point for trench T21 (see book SJGII). Opening depths were taken for Locus 1 which is characteristically dark to medium brown soil with organic material.
