We open today that locus, where the steps are going to run diagonally. We dig the topsoil (f174) and the accumulation below (f175) [Input: P817CVP.j] |

We are digging the first step, feature f175, but we stop eventually to put the team to remove the "buttress". [Input: P817CVP.j] |

We are digging the first step, feature f175, the topsoil. They stop a while to dig the area to relocate the Elevatore. Also we begin to dig the accumulation under the topsoil, f178 called here. [Input: P817CVP.j] |

Photo to record the nothingness (v91) in the first step, f178. We were digging the accumulation under the topsoil (f175), and then f178 with its interface f177. Due to a cumulus of unfortunate circumstances (vS is sick at home, we were having the meeting with gB about the strata, then cVP was momentarily in her computer room), we missed the beginning of the second step in k12. As a result, the second step in this square will be some 15 cms lower than the beginning of the 2nd step in the other loci. We will consult fAB in the future to see what to do to minimize the damage. Another fact that we discovered when putting the strings for the steps in the "corners", is that the width of the steps here are not 1 m but some 80 cms. Checking the sketch we have seen that this difference must be due to the fact that the steps in the regular squares just contemplate the 4x4 m, not the baulks, while the oblique steps include the baulk. The result is having steps longer at the beginning but thinner. [Input: P817CVP.j] |

cut back the oblique baulk in the NE corner. Started 40cm back from the edge and sloped it down 2m to the first step. It looks very good. [Input: P901MS.j] |

Examined further f203 and whether it is a surface or just accumulation from runoff. It is indeed just natural accumulations rather than a surface. We ceased excavations here for the moment. We will cut back to the south about a meter from last season's step to allow for a better view of the wall. [Input: Q824MS.j] |
