This daily photo shows the exposed black seed layer f434/435 within the trench. The layer was absent from k31, appearing in the western half of k32 and all of k33. k33 is numbered as both f433 and f435 because, although the black seed layer f435 is visible in many places, there was still a thin layer of brown soil over much of it, and it is impossible to really distinguish the two layers in this template. v248a is a tight shot, looking down the trench at the black layers. It includes a picture of a large sherd which we originally believed was embedded in the black layer, but turned out to be embedded in the layer of brown soil beneath the black. Today, we finished clearing the brown on top of the black layer, removed the black layer, and continued down in the whole trench. We also removed f428, the patch of black seeds in the south-west. |

This view is our daily photo of the trench. Visible within it is the top of the black seed layer, f434 and f435, which we finished clearing today and then removed. Underneath was more of the brown soil (f436, f437 and f438) which we excavated afterwards. v248a looks west along the trench, showing the black seeds better and also a large sherd, which we originally believed to lie in the black layer, but which actually lay in the brown beneath the black. |
