-eq The elevator worked fine most of the day. The trick seems to be to avoid putting moist soil or too much soil into it.

-wk Anhwar came back to work after missing a half a day yesterday for a doctor's appointment.

-sg The current bottoms of units k4, k5, and k14, which have the stones, are within 12cm of each other. We have reached roughly the same level also on the western half of k13 where we stopped excavations today. Tomorrow we will try to draw as many of the necessary sections as possible and bring the eastern side of k13 and the northern half of k3 into the same level with the other units. After that we will be ready to remove baulks between them and continue down.

dy We took two photos of the unit with the stone feature f24 as the target. I also sketches them in on the plots I ran yesterday. We did not excavated here today.

k 4
dy We took two photos of the unit with the stone feature f27 as the target. I also sketches them in on the plots I ran yesterday. We did not excavated here today.

k 14
dy We took two photos of the unit with the stone feature f26 as the target. I also sketches them in on the plots I ran yesterday. We did not excavated here today.

k 3
dy Continued down on the northern half. 3cm before the end of f29 q53 we ran into a slightly harder batch of soil in the NE corner of the unit. It's aerial extent was m3647 50W, 50S. I did not make it into a separate feature since it did not substantially differ from what was around it. Here the softer parts were just slightly further apart than elsewhere.

k 13
dy We reached roughly the level of k4, k5 and k14 in the western half of the unit so I stopped the excavation there and started going down in the eastern half. In the eastern half, however, we found two large stones: one was in the NW corner of the unit and one near the southern baulk. These stone are not only higher than the apron stones in the German trench that runs through k13, they are also higher than the stone features f24, f26, and f27 in k5, k14 and k4 respectively. It appears that they have eroded down from the temple terrace to the north. In the eastern half of the unit we started from topsoil feature f29 and after awhile continued with f30. This is latter material is similar to what we have found in other units: natural accumulation with patches of harder and softer soil.

dy The machine worked fine all day. We removed mostly the dry, top most layers of dirt.
