2004-06-17	jw	The dirt removal train for A17 and A18 to the east follows a line along and just inside the northern boundary of this unit. Coordinated the location with gb and the contractor SabaH Kassem, to minimize the danger and disruption to A14 workmen as the cars filled with spoils pass overhead. [Input: O617JW.j]
2004-06-20	jw	need more wheelbarrows. Will be purchased in the next day or so. Need tents for shade from the sun-workman effiency diminished greatly as the day progressed. Promised tomorrow. [Input: O620JW.j]
2004-06-21	jw	3 wheelbarrows on site today. Will be adequate for the next several days. [Input: O621JW.j]
2004-06-21	jw	in the next few days gb will have the dirt train from A17/A18 to the lower spoils dump moved to the north. In its current position, it is marginally safe, but the supports and dirt spills interfere with excavation and limit access to the south face of the north baulk and the platform, which is necessary to guide excavation strategy. [Input: O621JW.j]
2004-06-22	jw	supply of wheelbarrows now adequate. Trowels are of marginal quality and somewhat impede the work of the good pickmen. Work after breakfast slowed by the lack of tents to shield the workplace from the heat of the sun. [Input: O624JW1.j]
2004-06-23	jw	poles to support the tents have been erected but the covers have not yet been installed. [Input: O624JW2.j]
2004-06-24	jw	tents fully functional. Workman efficiency improved. [Input: O625JW.j]
2004-06-30	jw	discussed need for additional wheelbarrows with gb. Four for here is optimum. Re-assigned specific tasks to all workmen to bring and return tools and equipment to site from the house. [Input: O630JW.j]
2004-07-01	jw	lost use of one wheelbarrow due to bad wheel. [Input: O701JW1.j]
2004-07-04	jw	still short of wheelbarrows. Had to relinquish one of four to A18. [Input: O704JW.j]
2004-07-05	jw	distribution of wheelbarrows again a problem. Loaned one to A17 and again discussed the problem with gb. More will be ordered. Also considered installation of a dirt train, but rejected idea because of spatial conflicts with projected new loci. Decided best approach is to move dirt pile closer to unit to reduce transit time. [Input: O705JW.j]
2004-07-06	jw	More wheelbarrows promised after the improvements to the dirt train to allow more cars to travel per hour from A18/A17. There are no large pottery bags, which means that administrative workload is unnecessarily increased to process more small bags per volume of pottery. [Input: O706JW3.j]
