.bk J07 .fl S819cjc.j .fd feature description, daily journal, feature log .rd S819 .ri cJC -wk In the morning there were 10 workmen in J7. Three more were added from J6. We were operating one shaffat. After breakfast 5 more workmen were added from J6. -dy In the morning work continued removing the east baulk of k1. This baulk is very large due to the irregular nature of squares in J7. Several large stones were encountered, they were assigned feature numbers and removed. They were not photographed. hB relayed some of the stones. In the morning there were only enough workmen to operate one shaffat and so we used the small shaffat going directly out to the west. Some of the dirt was used to build a berm around the area to prevent water from entering J7 in the winter. The rest of the dirt was taken away with wheelbarrows. After breakfast a pickup truck came and we put the dirt from the shaffat directly into the back of the truck. We also moved the chute so we could use the large shaffat in k200 in addition to the small shaffat in k2. This sped up the dirt evacuation. The pottery was collected from both shaffats and then reunited with its q-lot in one bag. At about 11 we began to excavate in k4 and k5 while a team continued to work removing the east baulk of k1. -eq We will begin operating 4 shaffats in J7 so we can reach the season's goals of creating a view of the staircase from the southern end of k200. There is a small shaffat in k2 that empties out the west. Also in k1, bordering k1, there is a large chute that takes dirt down to the biggest shaffat which is in the bottom of k200. This dirt is removed to the east. Also in k200 are two other shaffats. They are across the trench (k200) from k3 and k4. Another chute takes the dirt down to the northernmost shaffat and that shaffat is currently being used to evacuate the dirt from k4 and k5. Currently the middle shaffat across from k3 is not being used but we anticipate using it tomorrow when we begin excavations again in k3. -sg We will begin excavating without east baulks. This is partly for saving time and also we no longer need them for safety reasons because the squares are low enough now bordering k200. The west baulks will now be drawn and templated, Because the sqauares are relatively narrow this should make little difference. Additionally, the west baulks will be stepped in one meter to make the squares smaller and faster to excavate. .rd S810 .ri cJC f 33 5 vm m4834 0 0 m4834 0 135 cl .rd S814 .ri cJC 34 1 m4843 0 0 m4843 0 135 .rd S816 .ri cJC 35 3 st 36 3 st 37 2 st S819 st 38 2 st S819 st .rd S819 .ri cJC 39 1 st m4843 89 150 m4843 44 150 S819 st 40 1 st m4843 91 150 m4843 74 150 S819 st f 39 ds Large floating stone in k1.
