Although the angle of the picture is slightly skewed (and not just because of the wide-angle lens), it still gives a good idea of the state and appearance of k27 before we began to dig, and shows our goals within the locus: first, to remove the southern baulk, and second, to unify the two halves of the circle, excavating the higher, southern half of the locus (which we left unexcavated last season in an effort to dig more quickly) down to the level of the northern half, also known as the northern trench. It also shows the complete sequence of the features in the k27 south baulk, and is the first view which we have showing the metal brace which Sabah Kasem installed over the winter to prevent the structure from collapsing. v 182 ds This view shows the southern baulk of k27 after most of it has been removed. Of note here is f367, referring to the fissure fill which we proceeded to remove before continuing with the main baulk's excavation, and f388, an outcropping of red, bricky material with an unknown purpose which was found when we cut away the outer half meter of the baulk last season. It was removed soon after this view in order to reveal the continuation of f352 into the southern half of the locus, which up this time had been covered by f382, seen in the bottom of the photo. f382 is the possibly unstratified material, leftover from the rainwater of two winters ago. Further, although the view log records our intention to show the vertical control point, it did not actually appear in the final picture. v 183 ds This shows the partially-removed southern baulk of k27 from the side, showing how it had pulled away from the stone wall of the structure and was therefore in immediate danger of collapse, had we not excavated it. Unfortunately, because of our depth in the underground structure, very little light was available for the photograph, so it does not show any details of the soil in the baulk, nor is it even possible to distinguish between f347 and f351. It is part of a pair of photos with v184. v 184 ds This view, part of a pair with v183, shows the top surface of the k27 south section leading over the fissure and into the k26 section. Because of the damage caused by rainwater leakage this past winter, it is impossible from this side view to distinguish the individual features in the section. However, you can see as clearly as in v183 the gaps between the baulk and the stones, and therefore the immediate necessity of its excavation. v 186 ds This is a view of the south baulk of k26 before we removed the main body this season. The photo itself is tilted down slightly to the left, hence the apparent westward slope of all of the features. Another good view for this baulk, although without the squares of the thin sections removed last year, is v165a. However, v165a (or t165a, specifically) does include the upper section, f304 through f306, which this view does not. v186a is a view looking down at the baulk from the top of the northern stone wall of k26. v186b is a side view of the baulk, looking west, showing both k26 and some of k27. However, it is also tilted a little and is very dark. v 187 ds This view, similar to v181, shows the entire underground structure and demonstrates the progress which we have made so far in excavation this season. v181a is the same view, but from the top of the stairway into the structure. v 188 ds This view shows the eastern section of the upper step filling the south half of k27. We are about to begin excavating this step, and photographed it to document the condition of the section before removal. v188a is a continuation of this photo, showing the western half of the section. v188b is an overhead view of the eastern half, v188c of the western half. v188d is an overhead view of the entire area. v 189 ds This view shows the south wall of a32, showing both the k26 baulk before removal and the newly revealed stones on the south wall of k27. v 190 ds This view shows the first two thin section sample columns which we attempted to take from the south baulk this season. It shows their vertical location within the baulk, giving a more accurate idea of the features and strata included in f383. v 191 ds This view, which was supposed to show the actual removal of the thin section columns from the south baulk of k26, is missing. v 194 ds This view shows the south baulk of k27 at the time that we decided to switch our excavation down to the lower level, f369 and f371, on account of the discovery of f387 within f384: we needed time to properly draw the section including that feature (our previous section drawing did not record it). .ri ms v 185 ds This view shows the southern baulk of k27. It is an overhead shot and shows the curve of the fissure back behind the k27 baulk, following the curvature of the circle. The existence of the fissure along the back of the baulk probably influenced the separation of the baulk from the stone wall as documented in v183 and v184, which required its excavation. v185 a is an overhead shot, showing the curving fissure very well. i 153 344 26 936 ca clay egg, like as q935.2 and 935.5 154 371 27 938 ca jar bottom 155 344 26 936 ca clay egg 156 344 26 936 ca clay egg 157 344 26 936 ca clay egg q 934 pbi 371 27 r645 165E 204N m2911 10 167 follows laminations 935 pib 338 26 r651 59S 320W 8235 101 5 936 pb 344 26 r652 59S 320W 8230 101 937 pb 369 27 r648 158E 90N m2937 3 92 .ri jl 938 pb 371 27 r649 67E 210N m2937 31 123 .ri ms 939 pb 344 26 r653 59S 153E 8225 101 940 pbi 387 27 r650 98S 110W 8138 122 10
