dy Today we continued to dig in k4 f150 in all the area. All the qlots collected in the first pickrun in the whole area area contaminated (q684, q692 and q698). We first dug in the NE area of k4 (q684), where f150 abuts the Apron (f131), then in the SE area of k4 (qlot6892, aproximately 2m N and 4mW to r942) and then in the W area of the unit (q698, aproximately 2m E and 4mS from r944). f150 presents almost the same characteristics in all the unit: it was characterized by a crumble texture, by a medium-soft consistence and by the presence of ash areas. After breakfast we dug in the weastern area of k4 (q684, q692). There is still an area to be excavated (1.5m N in corrispondence of the E baulk of k15): we will remove it tomorrow. Today f151 (a floating limestone) have been removed: it consist of just one big stone and not of two, as first thought (its irregular shape make us think that f151 consisted of two stones). In the pedestal (f271) of the stone f151 we did not collect any pottery sherd or bone.

dy After breakfast we continued to dig f164 in k5 in the northern area of the unit, where we dug a ledge that was higer (q697) and that abut the E baulk of k15. We removed also a "pseudo baulk" in the E baulk of k5 (aproximately 3m S and 1mW from r942) to which we assigned another feature number, f261 (q675, q678).

k 15
dy Today we continued to dig f193 in k5 (q676 and q700). The pottery have been swifted and the swift have been collected in a different qlot (q682). The feature is characterized by a very soft, fine and loose texture, but it presents also some hard layers, difficult to remove; therefore the work is not proceeding very fast in this area.

k 14
dy Today we remove the wall f232 (it was composed by 9 stones) in k4. We assigned a feature number for the accomulation between and under the stones, f269, that was characterized by a crumble texture and by a soft-loose consistence (the same we had for the accomulation under the wall f144, f226, in k4). At the same time we removed three collapsed stones belonging to the wall f127. A feature number has been assigned to the pedestal under the three stones (f127.1, f127.2, f127.3) f270 (q690), and the pottery recovered in this accomulation have been collected in the qlot q689. Then we dig f200 in the N area of k14 (the area delimited by the N baulk of k14 and the wall f288): several qlots of pottery have been collected whit the digging and with the swifting of f200: q677 (of which q680 is the swift), q964 (swift q695) q696 and q699. In the SW area of k14 a ledge have been left higer because two big stone (belonging to the wall f224) have been located here. We are waiting for a craine in order to remove them. 

k 24
dy We continued to dig f263 (q679).
