See strata assignment B for the results of this discussion. Then, we continued excavating the S section of A12 until gb returned to take the aerial pictures of a31, and afterwards we returned to work. Later, in another strategy session, we decided to briefly stop digging in k27 in order to focus for a few days on k23 and complete our planned excavation in the S section there. .rd K702 -dy Today, while excavating in k27, the workmen uncovered a brown layer beneath the gray and red layer f259. Until the whole pickrun is completed and the locus is cleared, we will not know its extents, but it does not seem to be the same as the brown fill/accumulation (f309-12) beneath f308 in the W half of the locus. It seems dirtier and less homogenous. Meanwhile, after taking V92 of the S section of k23 where we are excavating, we examined the section with gb. When we had ascertained that it was indeed all gullywash, we continued excavating there as well. Hopefully, we will finish that section today, so that we can concentrate more fully on the inside of a32. f 314 ds This gullywash extends from just below the topsoil all the way down to last season's floor in k23. From looking at the baulk, it is clear that the whole section is gullywash: very crumbly dirt, chunks of congealed gray brick from the gray brickfall (f219, f209, f215, f189) above this, and sherds standing vertically prove this. We should be able to excavate it with the big pick at a fast rate. f 316 ds This feature is the last layer of f259 above f317 in the E half of k27. At gb's instructions, I changed it because f259 is a very large and mixed layer, and this layer seemed dirtier than the earth above it. The previous q-lot, q384, in the W half of the locus remains as f259, since the sherds have already been sorted and processed, and to change that would be too much work. f 317 ds This new feature appeared clearly this morning while digging in f316. Brown in color, it was noticably different from the accumulation above it. At first we thought that it might be the same feature as f309-12, but it seems too dirty. It is softer and "greasier" than f316. f 309 co I was mistaken in my first description. The soil is much more brown than red. f 310 co I was mistaken in my first description. The soil is much more brown than red. f 311 co I was mistaken in my first description. The soil is much more brown than red. f 312 co I was mistaken in my first description. The soil is much more brown than red. .rd K703 f 317 nd The brown layer which was so clear yesterday morning seems to have disappeared. I scraped over most of k27 and could not find it clearly. However, once I set the workmen digging again in the W, they found it again immediately, a few centimeters below the surface. I am starting to wonder if f317 actually exists as I described it yesterday, or if it is simply a continuation of f316, which is soft and brown while it is wet, but turns hard and gray when it dries. The workmen originally suggested this, and are convinced of it. gb made a good point, however, that the texture was also different. If the top layer had had a whole year to dry, though (and that was the first pickrun of the season in k27), then the difference would be explained. We have to wait another day to be certain-if the same thing occurs again, then I will be fairly convinced of it.
