Began a pick pass in the northwestern corner to continue the removal of the locus 26 soil.  WHile sorting a piece of red figure pottery was uncovered (Find #1).  We have uncovered a new soil across the entire area of of Locus 26 .  This new soil will be declared locus 27 .  This locus is characterized by a sandier softer soil with less material than Locus 26 .  There is still a small amount of carbon in the soil.  Its munsell designation is 10 YR 4/3 Brown.

Commenced a pick pass across locus 27 .  A crumbly mica soil a kin to that associated with Locus 23 has been uncovered in the northeast corner of Locus 27 .  We will now see if this soil continues under the rest of the locus.  The soil has been uncovered across the entire area of Locus 27 .  Since this soil is sterile no more excavation will take place in VT-3 as the entire area of the trench has come upon sterile soil or bedrock.  The baulks will now be cleaned in preparation for closing photographs.
