-wk 7 picks and 17 in support reported for work. Ramadan and two others from A15 assisting in dirt removal.

-sg overall, we will continue to excavate as fast as is consistent with documentation of features before removing and proceeding to successive strata.

k 13
dy excavated the entire locus as accumulation, f56. There was relatively little pottery considering the amount of material excavated.

k 15
dy continued to excavate accumulation, f311, primarily in the east part of the locus. Began to see evidence of a N-S line of bricks along the east baulk in the NE quadrant, f323, and an associated floor surface, f322, in the north half of the locus.

k 5
dy continued to excavate the entire locus, concentrating on some emerging brickwork, f319 and f320, and a possible pit, f321, in the SW corner.

-sg a review of progress by jlw and gb at the end of the day, L729, resulted in a decision to concentrate excavation for L730 and beyond at the border of the deep excavations already conducted by A15.  This means that we will excavate the north halves of k5 and k15 as well as the west half of k13.
