-wk Twenty assigned workmen reported.

-sf lH still in Damascus preparing for post-graduate study.  sNP spent most of the morning in the house processing objects and plots.

-sy Markers m4805, m4741, m4752, m4825, and m4827 removed during baulk clearance.  Markers m6014, m6015, m6016, and m6017 installed to facilitate geo-referencing of photographs v96 and v97 prior to drawing multiple stone features.

k 100
dy Two crews excavated here, removing the projections to the northeast of the locus in preparation for excavating f157 to find the eScarpment linking units J5 and J1.  We found two rows of stones.  Unfounded f155, running northeast to southwest off the corner of revetment wall, f3, and f161, running north to south.

-eq For much of the day, the shafat was operating at less than full capacity because no trailer was available to carry away the dirt.  Less efficient wheelbarrows were used instead.

k 43
dy Finished excavating the north baulk of this locus.  We found that the stone installations f28 in k44 and f71 were linked by a threshold, f163.  Although the bottom rows of stone installations f49 in k44 and f91 in k43 were continuous across the baulk, the top rows were not.

f 158
ds Natural accumulation under accumulation f157 in k22.  It runs between the south face of the final iteration of revetment wall, f3, and the northeast excavated face of k100.  It extends from the southwest corner of k22, through k11 and k1 to J1.  This accumulation is expected to cover escarpment, f74, as it runs southeastward toward a similar escarpment in J1, J1 feature 189 and J1 feature 239.  A section along the east baulk of k1 indicates that it is up to one meter deep and composed of layers of ashy laminations.
