This is an overall view of the underground structure at the beginning of excavation this season. Although the angle of the picture is slightly skewed (and not just because of the wide-angle lens), it still gives a good idea of the state and appearance of k27 before we began to dig, and shows our goals within the locus: first, to remove the southern baulk, and second, to unify the two halves of the circle, excavating the higher, southern half of the locus (which we left unexcavated last season in an effort to dig more quickly) down to the level of the northern half, also known as the northern trench. It also shows the complete sequence of the features in the k27 south baulk, and is the first view which we have showing the metal brace which Sabah Kasem installed over the winter to prevent the structure from collapsing. |
