Today, work in trench D8 begins by opening a new locus, L136. This is the area inside the plastered wall in the NE corner of the trench (below L125). The wall was also given a new locus number, L135. Our first goal today is to excavate the top 10cm in L136.
L137 is another new locus assigned today. This area was arbitrarily chosen to be separated from L132. It is located south of L135, and was not excavated for the last few days. This is the area where the complete basalt ground stone was found (still not collected).
In L132, removal of another 5cm layer of the surface begins. Cultural debris collected throughout the locus. After the clean up of the surface, a dark, ashy area emerged in the SW corner of the locus. A small decorated clay fragment was recovered (small figurine? KT43) and another small clay fragment was found 15cm north of the first (KT45).
Location of KT43 is 1.95 east of west baulk and 2.85m north of the south end of the trench. Location of KT45 is 2.10m east of west baulk and 2.90m north of trench edge.
Work continues by removal of another 5cm in L134. Another SF was found in the south portion of this locus. KT16 is a small fragment of an alabaster sharp implement (needle or applicator?).

| 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. |
