Daily notes about recovery of elements 2008-07-30 pc today i decided to start digging in k64 and removing the first accumulation, which is treated as a topsoil, being exposed for two years: it is f77. The purpose of excavating here is to see if there is a continuation of f64 in k74 of the brickmelt. If there is nothing we will stop digging here and continue in k74. [Input: S730PC.J]
2008-07-31 pC we stopped excavating in k64, while we concentrate in the western part of J6. we decided to leave this area for next years [Input: SZ31PC.J]
2008-07-31 pc today i decided to continue excavating here, in order to clear what is east of f64 in k74: we excavated a very hard surface f80, and under it was a line of rough stones, located in a line. This is very similar to J4f84 in k63. Next week we will clear better the relationship with the f64 brickmelt. [Input: S731PC.J]
Procedures 2008-07-31 pC we excavated only in the south-west part of the square in order to go faster and to excavate only in the part in which we expected to find something [Input: SZ31PC.J]

Recovery/Assignment

Daily notes about recovery of elements 2009-08-18 yM in this square the aim was to level the top layer in the northern portion and to reach the level of the southern part, in order to see if a stone exposed in the north western corner and next to wall f218 is a part of wall f218. This stone has a east-west orientation, different from the north orientation of wall f218. if there are more stones continuing to the east, wall f218 could here change direction and continue to the east. We removed the top soil and then f321 which is eroded and melted bricks mixed with accumulations. By doing that we where able to uncover more of wall f218. but we didn’t find any more stones east of the stone, although we did find another stone underneath of it. [Input: T818YM.J]

Daily notes about recovery of elements 2008-07-30 pC we decided to clean the south section of k73 while we observed that in the South-East corner there were bricks. Cleaning it we uncovered a wall which has only one row of bricks with mortar. The orientation is North-East South-West. While the piece of the wall is to small we can not decide if belongs to a structure, possibly related to f64 in k74, just next to it or something else. [Input: SZ31PC.J]
