Daily notes about recovery of elements 0000-00-00 pC Today i moved Fahed and Ibrahim from k75 to k65 in order to reach the level of the melted brick surface f22. They continued excavating f16 q35, which is the same of yesterday: is hard when picked and crumble in consistency, has few pottery. After the second pickrun the consistency is much more softer and fine in texture. [Input: S720PC.j]
2008-07-15 pC we begin excavating the topsoil f11, which has a lot of roots, dark organic band and stones. after removing the topsoil has been exposed a burnt area in the South-west corner. Tomorrow we will relay it and give a new feature number. It is very recent, being under the top soil. [Input: S714PC.j]
2008-07-16 pc In k65 Shallal and Su'ar are the pickmen. today they were very slow, due probably to the hardness of the soil. We relayed f13, the burnt area under topsoil, which is f13: we did not collected pottery from this feature, because it is only a thin layer of ash. I decided to give a different number because extends in a big area. We reley it and then continue to excavate. The new feature is f14 which has lot of roots, dark organic band and a lot of pottery and stones. [Input: S716PC.j]
2008-07-17 pC In k65 we keep the same feature as yesterday, f14, the accumulation under top soil, but after a pick run I changed feature in f16, which is similar to f14, but harder in consistency. [Input: S718PC.j]
2008-07-19 pc Today we excavated only half of the square and the feature is still f16 q26 [Input: S719PC.j]
2008-07-21 pC We continue with f31 which is still soft and has a lot of pottery [Input: S721PC.j]
2008-07-22 pC today we continue excavating f36, which is soft and fine in texture. I decided to stop excavating after breakfast, because the level is too deep to remove the dirt and tomorrow we will remove the baulks [Input: S722PC.j]
2008-07-23 pC today eA and cJC drew the North section [Input: S723PC.j]
2008-07-24 pC we decided to stop excavating in k65 while we whanted to concentrate in the western portion of J6, and also because we found in this square only natural accumulations. f36 is the last feature [Input: SZ31.j]
