We opened this locus today, which is a 500mx500m square. It is delimited by the following markers: m4354 (NE), m4356 (SE), m3668 (SW) and m4244 (NW). The N baulk is only partially preserved (its NW corner is completely missing). We started by removing the topsoil in all the unit (f42, q78). f42 is characterized by the presence of few bushes and is very compact in consistence, and is greyish coloration; once removed it had a platy structure and lots of roots which gave to the soil a dark brown colour; it is poor in pottey sherds. After two pick runs, we assigned a new feature number to the accumulation below the topsoil, which seems to be the same natural accumulation as found in other unit (f43, q79, q81). f43 presents a medium compact consistence, once picked is crumble and present a loose texture, and it is dusty when removed (characteristics similar to the topsoil). It is light brown in colour. [Input: Q822SC.j] |

Today we continued digging f43 in all the unit (q85). f43 is medium compa[ct] [?] and crumble. After two pick runs we decided to change feature number: we assigned f44 [to the] accumulation below, which seems to be the same natural accomulation as f43 (q87, q89, q92, q93) [?] on hardness. f44 it is medium compact with few patckes of soft soil and it is greyish in color. [Tom]ororrow we should reach the bottom of the German trench (N and E to k61): we will then stop digging{?]. Then, we will start to remove a small portion of the S baulk of k61, in order to reach the same [?] in the whole locus. [Input: Q823SC.j] |

Today we continued digging f45 in all the unit (q94, q96, q97, q98). I move some workmen in this unit. At the end of the day we reach the the bottom of the German trench (N and E to k61) and we thus finished digging in k61, at the elevation of m3817 +45 -150. [Input: Q824SC.j] |

Today we assigned a new feature number to the natural accumulation in k61, f45, and start digging it in this locus (q94, q96, q97, q98). f45, which is spread uniformily in all the unit, is very compact in consistence: once picked, it has a platy structure and, once removed, it is crumble and loose in texture. It is greyish in color and rich in pottey sherds. I move more workmen in this unit and at the end of the day we reach the bottom of the German trench dug in 20001 (N and E to [?]) and thus finishing digging in k61. We stop digging in this locus at the elevation of m3817 +45 -150. [Input: U204SC.j] |
