k 33
ds Removed north baulk as volumetric material, f160.

k 23
ds We excavated the north baulk of k13 as f153.  We extended the scope of this volumetric material to encompass the north baulk of k23 as well and began to excavate it.

k 100
ds Removed upper portions of the northern projections, f110, to provide proper sightlines for the viewing platform.

f 159
ds The volumetric material in an extension of locus 100 to the southwest by 150cm to improve the sightlines from the new observation platform south of k32.  We plan to excavate the northeastern two thirds of the southwest extension to the level already excavated along the northeastern edge.  Then, we will slope the remaing 50cm slice from the surface on the southwest to the lower level to the northeast.

f 160
ds The volumetric material in the north baulk of k33, which will be removed as one feature, having been previously well-documented during excavation and by drawing and photography.

f 161
ds A line of medium-sized boulders running north to south and originating at the southwest corner of revetment wall, f3.  Although the function is unknown, it is possible that they in combination with stones, f155, form an buttress to the revetment wall.

f 162
ds The volumetric material in the north and east baulks of k32, which will be removed as one feature, having been previously well-documented during excavation and by drawing and photography.
