Daily notes about recovery of elements 2001-08-31 MISSING Today while excavating k110 a small circular depression was noticed in the northeast corner next to the East baulk. The area was cleaned which revealed vertical bricks in a soft sandy matrix, which we labeled as a pit f217, possibly a burial. [Input: L831LR.j]
2001-09-02 lR we have scraped and cleaned the area in order to identify any features within k110 especially pits. We have come down in the entire area on a compact reddish brown material and on the north area we were exposing an ashy thin layer. All the pits f216 and f217 have been excavated. [Input: L903LR.j]
