Area D

Trench 4

July 1, 2007

We began taking out the L4115 surface today. We hit a second floor immediately under it and took two HAP’s.

Bradley worked in L4134 / L4129. We found an orange material under the collapse layer (4134) and initially decided that this was the floor. However, we reconsidered this as the surface was very soft and silty. At the end of the day, Bradley began removing this layer and we again reconsidered thinking that this may in fact have been the floor and it was just extremely burnt.

The wall L4135 was defined and I made the area south of it into L4136.

The northernmost area of the baulk extension (L4121) got a little messed up. We originally defined it as a wall (L4131) running North to South down the center of the locus and dug it as such. However, the L4131 locus that we though was the wall turned out to be collapse running through what appears to be two parallel walls (L4139 and L4140). We still have a lot to figure out in this area and will be focusing heavily on this tomorrow.
