Recovery/Assignment

Roster Date Author Record
Daily notes about recovery of elements 2006-09-09 mS opened excavations here today. The plan is to only work in a one by two meter area in the NE corner because we think this will bring us down to the curve of the wall. Pickman mistakenly began removing topsoil throughout the area but only for a few cm. We will cover this area in plastic and cover with dirt. We are still in topsoil, f208. [Input: Q902MS.j]
2006-09-11 mS continued going down in this small excavation until reaching the stones of the top of the wall about two meters down. Will draw the section of the north baulk and begin removing it tomorrow. [Input: Q912MS.j]
2006-09-12 mS began removing the north baulk. This is only one meter across because we only opened a small area here. [Input: Q912MS.j]
2006-09-13 mS continued with baulk removal and there is a lot of dirt in an awkward area so it seems to be going very slowly. [Input: Q912MS.j]
2006-09-14 mS continued clearing the dirt from the baulk removal going down to about 50 cm below the top of the wall and delineating stones. [Input: Q912MS.j]
2006-09-15 mS we have reached the level about 50cm below the top of the wall and will cease excavations. We have found the corner of the wall f72. [Input: Q916MS.j]
2006-09-16 mS did clean up because we have finished excavations here for the season. [Input: Q916MS.j]
