AM
The rain yesterday afternoon and evening has made the soil in the trench damp but workable. Therefore, work begins with a pick pass in the westernmost meters of the trench to complete the trench-wide pick pass begun yesterday. Soil is hand-sorted into buckets and then disposed of into the wheelbarrow. The soil remains the mottled olive brown with black, gray, and white inclusions.
The second pick pass was made in the eastern third of the trench. Soil is consistent with that of above and the rest of Locus 8 . Artifacts so far include small pieces of terra cotta and small sherds of pottery, no bone so far. A pick pass in the central meters and a pick pass in the western third of the trench trace our movement through Locus 8 from east to west. Because the same soil type and artifact content
remains, the same methodology described above will continue to be employed.
While sorting the soil picked from the eastern meters of the trench, a fragment of slipped pottery (Special #1) and a possible Gorgon fragment (Special find #2) were recovered.
Special find #1:
- Locus 8
- 72.21 S/56.29 E
- 23.36 mAE
- Slipped pottery
-
Special find #2:
- Locus 8
- 72.68 S/56.76 E
- 23.33 mAE
- Possible Gorgon fragment

Another pick pass was conducted in the central meters. Soil remains consistent so the methods of sorting and dumping do, as well. A pick pass has been made in the westernmost third of the trench.
