We continued to cut back locus 5174 by 5cm looking for any clear context in the northern area of the trench. A dark ashy layer of material running E-W, and flush to the N baulk, was noted, especially because we could discern no other features through it. The area identified by the surface line recorded as pit 5180 was begun with the intention of sieving one out of every four buckets given its potential size. However, the fill of the potential pit turned out to be the very similar to the surrounding fill either implying that the pit had been misidentified or the differentiation between the two fills was too difficult for us to make.

During the clear back of 5174 a new mud brick feature was identified (5181). We wanted it to be a continuation of 5170 but it appeared more likely that 5170 had been misidentified and that the northern area of the material above the floor (5169) lined up very well. Our plan is to excavate 5169 up to 5170 and assess any associations. If negative then 5170 will be discarded and the same process continued with a new locus for the material at the end of 5169.

We re-measured the day plan and decided that it required some minor adjustments in recording data from the SW corner of the trench.

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.
