Roster Date Author Record
Daily notes about recovery of elements 1996-07-15 rK This pit had been excavated to a depth of 50cm on G714. On further digging, the workman reached what appears to be a proper floor at the bottom of this pit. It is white, so not hard to notice and follow. The whiteness does not appear to be plaster but the floor is quite level. [Input: G720RK.J]
1996-07-17 rK The radius of this pit was extended by another 10cm yesterday (and the sherds etc. collected as part of a separate feature. There is still plenty of ash in its wall toward the S. [Input: G720RK.J]
