Daily notes about recovery of elements 1999-06-28 jlw excavated approximately a meter of topsoil, k121, and the accumulation, k122 below. Lots of pottery and a few bones. A sharp contrast in texture delimited the boundary between topsoil and the accumulation below. We are maintaining a 50 cm baulk to the east for safety purposes, and lowering at least once per day. [Input: J628JLW.j]
1999-06-30 jlw continued to excavate as rapidly as possible. Some time lost because of problems with the dirt train. Moderate amounts of pottery, some bone and a few artifacts (bead and stone tool). No architecture. [Input: J630JLW1.j]
1999-07-03 jlw made excellent progress today, with 3 large pick runs and dirt removal from yesterday. The extra workmen helped immensely. However, we need the new wheelbarrows to climb the steep slope. [Input: J703JLW.j]
1999-07-04 jlw excavated pot in north baulk, which turned out to be part of a burial. While looking through sherds found half of a small bowl. Found associated pieces in last q-lot excavated at that level. Also noticed another small pot (orange in color) deeper into the baulk. Did not excavate at this time. Excavation suspended pending excavation of k9 to the NE, which has a greater prospect of coming down on any wall complex associated with the patio discovered in k5 in the 1997 season. May resume if extra workmen become available. [Input: J704JLW.j]
1999-07-13 jlw made one more pick run to better define f152, a stone platform. It is possible that it is the foundation for a wall for a major building, but there is too little of it exposed to make a final determination. [Input: J713JLW.j]
Strategy (projected or implemented) 1999-07-02 jlw plan on using new removal team to expedite excavation of this locus. We will carry dirt uphill and build new berms to protect this year's excavations. [Input: J702JLW.j]
