Recovery/Assignment

Roster Date Author Record
Daily notes about recovery of elements 2001-07-08 jlw began to clean the topsoil and backfill from this locus. [Input: L708JLW.j]
2001-07-09 jlw found a yellow disk with "f21" written on it that was nailed into a horizontal surface that contained scattered baked bricks, f281. Found a very substantial wall, f283, along the north edge of the excavated portion, whose alignment is somewhat to the east of the current grid. Found the grave containing the remains of a small child, f283, cut into the north baulk and into f282. Began to dig accumulation, f286, in the SW corner, under f280. [Input: L709JLW.j]
2001-07-10 jlw traced a horizontal brick surface extending on the west side of the locus from the south edge through the north baulk. It is clearly a part of the platform, a25, which now extends 10 meters N-S and over 4 meters E-W. Encountered an E-W course of baked bricks, f289, as well as more yellow plastic tags with the numbers "f16", "f19", "f21", "f32", "f38", and "f49". gb recalled that there was a large multi-chambered tomb excavated in A3 in 1990. A search of the records at home revealed some A3 documentation of that excavation. We will photograph it on L711, then cover it as we are only trying to trace major architectural features this season. [Input: L710JLW.j]
2001-07-11 jlw cleaned along the entire west side to expose the platform, a25, which extends from N to S along the baulk edge and lies just under the surface of the tell. [Input: L711JLW.j]
Strategy (projected or implemented) 2001-07-09 jlw clean and excavate the mixture of topsoil and backfill, f280, that covers that portion of the step trench excavated in 1990. [Input: L709JLW.j]
