2004-06-30 jw vve, on loan from A18 drew E baulks of k24 and k25 and the N baulk of k25. Elevation for string for E baulk of k25 is m3557+42-147 = 8106. Elevation for string for E baulk of k24 is m3560+28-147 = 8164. Elevation for string for N baulk of k25 is m3557+37-147 = 8101. [Input: O630JW.j]
2004-07-01 jw gm drew a N section of k4, roughly the same as had served as the N baulk of k4 last season. It is based on an excavated area which extended 250cm to the N of the S baulk and was 400cm wide along the N-S axis. Elevation of the string was m3474+93-134 = 8268. [Input: O701JW1.j]
2004-07-06 jw jo began to explore the long, S face of the N baulk of "1 series" squares running E-W from the walls of the AF palace, south of the stone and brick platforms, and along the south side of the Ak wing of the palace. It has been cut and recut several times, and perhaps drawn, but we need an up-to-date analysis and drawing to guide our excavation of k1, k2, and k3 to understand the use of the sacral precinct, particularly the relationship between the abi and the platforms. [Input: O706JW3.j]
2004-07-08 jw gm drew the N section of k25. [Input: O708JW2.j]
2004-07-12 jw gm and jw drew sections of the north and east baulks of k15 and the east baulk of k25. [Input: O712JW.j]
2004-07-14 jw gm drew the E section of k24. Elevation of string was 8160. [Input: O715JW.j]
2004-07-17 jw jw drew the N section of k24. Elevation of string was 8160. jw drew the E section of k14. Elevation of the string was 8164. [Input: O717JW.j]
2004-07-18 jw jw drew the north section of k14. Elevation of string was 8165. [Input: O718JW2.j]
2004-07-20 jw jw began to draw the section of the east baulk of k5. String elevation is 8162. [Input: O720JW1.j]
2004-07-26 jw jw drew sections for the north and east baulks of k22, where the string was aligned by the laser level and the elevation was m3653+85-150=8303cm. He began to draw the east baulk of k3, where the string was aligned by the laser level and the elevation was m3656+85-150=8276cm. [Input: O727JW1.j]
2004-07-31 jw dc and jo drew the section of the north face of the parts of the north baulks of k1, k2, and k3 which had been trimmed to a uniform E-W line earlier in the season. This should help guide excavations in MZ18. Elevation of the string was m3430+54-165=8289cm. [Input: O801JW.j]
2004-08-01 jw jw continued to review the section pencil drawings. In k13 and k4 there were poor correlations between the features assigned during excavation and the features observed in section, otherwise there was close agreement in the other loci. All features observed in the partial section of the north face of the north baulk shared by k1, k2, and k3 are newly assigned and should be useful in guiding future excavations of those loci in future seasons. (The portion extending to k1 contains several pits whose walls have either been excavated or have partially collapsed. Therefore this part of the section could not be drawn.) [Input: O801JW1.j]
2004-07-28 jw jw drew sections of the east baulk of k4 (string elevation m3673+86-156=8243cm) and the east and north baulks of k13 (string elevation m3542+95-165=8251cm). [Input: O802JW.j]
