-dy Today, we continued to uncover the black seed layer f441/f442 (equal to f433/435) in k29 and k30.  Once we had completely uncovered it, we photographed it and began to remove it.
-sg Our goal is to make the accumulation in k29 and k30 even with that in the trench by the end of the season.  Therefore, we will continue removing f441/f442 and then continue in the the soil beneath it, which (judging from our findings in the trench) will be mostly undifferentiated brown fill.

-dy We did not dig today, in order to get caught up on templates and feature descriptions before making our final push in both A12 and A14.

-dy We continued exposing the white layer f440 in k31 and digging downwards in the other loci, but stopped after we had reached 50cm depth in the trench.  gb suggested that f440 would be a good layer to see completely and, given our depth in the trench, we began to excavate the accumulation north of the trench.  Specifically, we began to remove f439 in k29, uncovering the black layer f441, which equals f434/f435, although we did not complete the entire locus.
-sg Our overall plan for the last week is to bring the material in the north half of the circle down to the elevation of the bottom of the trench.  Given the relative homogeneity of the material in the trench, we expect to excavate very quickly in k29 and k30 once we remove the black layer f441/f442.
