.bk J02 .fl P814aL.j .fd daily journal for k100 and k102 .rd P814 .ri aL .ed P814 .ei aL k 100 dy We started to remove the top surface of k100 (f173) in order to reach the step below the latest one found during German excavations. We started to remove the first 10 cms in the whole area(q457) in order to find the step from the bottom of the first artificial layer with a stake (hight ca 30 cms) but we did not find it. We decided to dig another 10 cm and after removing from the beginning part of k100 (ca 300 cm south of the step, q466) we tried another time to reach the step with the same stake without any result. During this operation we realized that the real bottom of German trench is perhaps 10 cms below the level of our current excavation. At the end of the day we cleaned the excavated area and finished our daily job in the field. sg After the complete removal of the remaining part of 10 cm in k100 we should go down other 10 cms in order to completely remove f173. After this operation, we should try to reach the step below the latest one (from this new layer) with a long stake (ca 64 cms). If we will not have positive results with this attempt we must change our strategy. During the excavation we should pay attention to reaching and finidng the actual bottom of German trench. k 102 dy we have continued the removal of top soil from the whole area but we stopped excavation due to a change in strategy. sg excavation closed.
