Trench 21
June 1, 2005
Jeanne Nijhowne
This trench was laid out approximately 60 cm to the east of F6. The plan is to remove the overlying relatively quickly to within 50 cm above the pebble floor and then excavate carefully as we get closer to the floor. Picking began yesterday to remove the top layers. No opening photos or elevations were taken.
As the workers picked down, they found a conglomerate stone wall which is now locus 1. The surrounding matrix is now locus 2. We began this morning by straightening the baulks and expanding the trench to the south so its dimensions are now 2.64 m E-W and 3 meters N-S. We scraped down the surface and took opening elevations and photographs. Excavation and artifact collection began of locus 2.

| 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. |
