Today we concentrated on three main elements of the trench. The first was the centre of the oven (5156). A cursory clean of the top surface revealed two sherds of pottery in situ and although the oven had been considered an Ubaid context the pottery suggested a reevaluation. It was therefore decided to cut a section of the NW area of the oven to use as a control in distinguishing the various layers of material prior to excavation and each layer was given a ew locus number – 5171, 5173, 5177, 5178 and 5179. 5177 represented a thick layer of burnt material and a carbon sample was taken from this.

Secondly we began to clean back 5151, 5152 and 5160 under a new general cleaning locus of 5174. The northern area of this locus revealed a dark and light colour differentiation across the width of the trench possibly due to the natural depositional history of the area – perhaps a wash?

Lastly we approached the SW corner of D5 excavating the pit (5168) and uncovering a floor surface (5169) with a possible wall feature (5172) that separates 5169 from the white material of 5176.

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.
