-dy Today we continued cleaning and we removed the baulk in k54. After discussions with fAB, pC, cJC and sH it was decided that it is best to retain this baulk in the same location even if it makes the locus north of it (the area running up to the revetment wall) fairly narrow. We want to keep the sections the same as those from the previous J2 excavations where possible. 

-sg Today fAB, pC, cJC and sH met in the field to discuss the strategy for the season. We will follow the strategy outlined in the introduction. We discussed where to place the loci. Ideally we will be able to follow the site-wide grid but if the sections do not fall in the places we need to accomplish our goals we will create new squares. Adeeb, the surveyor, is unsure if it is possible to reestablish the squares in our unit as only one corner marker is remaining in J2. 

k 54
ds This locus was assigned to the area west of wall f127 at the beginning of MZ22 (2009) when we began cleaning the J2 area. The original idea was that the 50-series of loci would correspond to the same as previous squares (for example, k54 would be the new k4) however, we were unable to determine the exact location of the squares before beginning work so k54 does not correspond to a previous area. Eventually the normal squares were reestablished and the rest of the excavations continued using the old assignments such as k4, k5 etc.

ac This q-item was lost in the field. The bag blew away and the item fell out. It was a small flint core.

ds This feature was the leftover stub of a baulk from previous J2 excavations. It would have been the north baulk of k14. We decided to remove it as it was heavily eroded. We removed it down to almost the bottom but left just a little piece in place so we can continue to use the same baulk in this year's excavations. The feature was made of some hard chunky materials mixed with ashy lenses.
