Before breakfast we continued to expand 5182 to the NE corner of D5. During this process Lokman spotted a cylinder seal (KT10) in the uncontextualised fill. The bottom of the oven (5179) provided a base point in taking down the fill layer 5174 as we moved toward the west baulk.
The feature (5185) that we had identified as wall abutting 5170 was partially excavated and it was decided that it actually represented a sloping floor surface and that 5170 was a thin layer of mud brick and a wall. We reclassified the locus and followed the floor under a large stone layer (5188) toward the east baulk. 5185 bonded with 5170 and we therefore hypothesized that 5169 on the south side of the wall was a lower floor layer.
Having excavated 5185 we decided that compared to 5169 it provided significantly more detail. One possibility we considered was that 5169 had formed part of a leveling process for the construction of the domestic architecture excavated in 2002 and therefore we had ended up with a series of mixed context layers.
Floor 5185 provided us with the opportunity to employ the Household Archaeology Protocol (HAP). We strung out a 0.5m x 0.5m sample area and following through the process ended up with around 16 litres of material.

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. |
