Trench D6
Daily Journal
July 10, 2002
Today we started to cleaned around the furnace L2/L20 and took a plan photograph of this region. We learned some background on the furnace, that it was possibly unique to Turkey and that much care should be taken, and that we should take many samples. We decided to divide the furnace into 9 loci. We then drew a detailed dayplan of the furnace and surroundings, including the rock line L10.
We excavated Locus 4 2cm at a time with the belief that we might discover a surface associated with the furnace L2/L20. We found the beginnings of a surface, but then felt overwhelmed and sent our workers away. Then we excavated L13, a 50 x 15 cm mixed section locus to determine the context and stratigraphy to the East of the oven. This was excavated in three parts by elevation, and all soil was saved for sampling. We possibly found some small metal pieces (KT 11) in the 2nd level of excavation. We also found what might be a small metal tube (KT8) at 590.8m. We left a portion (about 10 cm) excavated to only 3cm, showing mud brick debri, probably related to furnace L2/L20.
We then took elevations and designed a tent to protect the furnace from the winds, etc.

| 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. |
