k 4
dy Today we dug only in the southern area of k4: this area is approximately 1m Sx6m WE and we treated it as a baulk. Here we finished digging f152, feature assigned yesterday to this limited area in k4, and we assigned a new feature number to the accumulation below, characterized by a compact surface and a soft and friable texture (f155). Two qlots have been collected during the excavation of f152 (q402 and q405). We dug also f155 for about 20 cm (one qlot has been collected during the exavation of the first 20 cm of f155, q406). Although we did not reach the bottom of this feature we decided to stop digging f155 in order to move the workmen into k5. After a meeting in the area with gB and fAB we decided to start digging in k5 in order to reach the same level there as feature f155 in k4, and at that point start to dig the southern area of k4 and either all, or only the northern area k5: we agree that throught the exposition of a larger area we will have a better understanding of the stratigraphy.

k 13
dy Today we dug the north-east area of k13 where we finished removing f142. f142 was assigned last week and was not completely excavated because the elevator was located in the middle of the square; the area in which f142 was still in place was aproximately 2m NE and 2m S. One qlot was collected during the exavation of f142 (q404). Once reached the bottom of f142 we moved the workmen in k14.

k 14
dy Today we started digging in k14. We assigned a new feature number (f156) to the top 10 cm and tomorrow we will change it when starting digging. We think that the square has been contaminated by the dirt moved here during the past days (due to the presence of the elevator in k13). f156, a natural accumulation characterized by a compact surface in all the area, was particulary hard to remove in the SW area where it present a very very compact surface. mH explained us that this accumlation was found very often in this area during last season. One qlot was collected during the exavation of f156 (q407).

k 5
dy Today we start digging k5. We delineated the area where to dig with a relay (r483) and we started to dig 350mEWx390NS. We assigned two feature numbers: f157 to the top 10 cm of k5 and f158 to the accumulation below this: the square has been contaminated by the dirt moved here during the past days (due to the presence of the elevator). f157 is characterized by a very soft and dusty texture and gray colour. One qlot was collected during the excavation of f157 (q408) and one during the excavation of f158 (q409) .
