f 328
ds It appears that we were very mistaken in our first analysis of f328.  We believed that f328 equalled the sterile brown layer f273 and f309-12.  However, upon excavating it, we discovered that not only was it very dirty (ash chunks, pottery, large bones, a large ashy pocket), but we also found two, possible three seal impressions, one of which is inscribed (i82, q425.2).

-dy We started this morning cleaning the square for aerial photos.  Once gg had completed the, we continued digging down in k26, in what we presumed would be sterile earth.  It was, indeed, not sterile, as proved by the contents of the fill, especially two and possibly three seal impressions, one of which is inscribed!  The first one caused us to sift the dirt, leading us to the other two fragments.  We finished the day digging very slowly, looking for traces of others.

-sg gb believes that we can now safely dig down in both k26 and 27 at the same time, partly due to the barrier of the wall between them.  So hopefully, we will get a few extra workmen tomorrow to begin this effort.
