1997-06-26	bsh	the horizontal ash-grey surface must be a floor that was missed before the discovery of f364. [Input: H629BSH.J]
1997-06-26	bsh	GB identifies f368 as straw/stubble used as fuel for the oven nearby. RAH and MKB identify the feature as a reed mat. [Input: H629BSH.J]
1997-06-28	bsh	that surface revealed during the removal of f366 to the S may in fact be the Southern portion of f369, especially given that the surface contains a material identical to that of f368. Since the sherds etc. are below this surface and horizontal, it is possible that they are resting on the surface of f364. The presence of the brick might indicated that the sherds are situated about a structure. [Input: H629BSH.J]
1997-06-29	bsh	the fact that f365 turned, descended, and became f364 is indicative of the fact that f365 and, accordingly, f367 are not a fl and ac respectively at this point, but in fact compose a fill that was used to make level the uneven surface of f364. (That a continuous surface was followed is supported by the presence of a horizontally lying sherd along the path followed by the workman.) The gypsum spot to which f364 led could be f370, which could be the original floor surface. GB thought that the gypsum coating in the SW corner is a bit high to make this identification. A hole uncovered near the flue could be a vent, or rodent hole. [Input: H629BSH.J]
1997-06-30	bsh	it is possible that the cavity discovered near the oven contains a branch leading to f375 (i.e., f374 and f375 may be part of a larger rh). [Input: H701BSH.J]
