-sf pC mNH stayed at home after breakfast because he was not feeling very well. He entered J02 objects description. Today hB and mNH drawned the N section of k73, pC and aS the E section of k72, and cC and aS the E section of k63.

-mk Today bP put new markers: two for the N and NE corner (m4357, m4354) of k61 and one for the SE corner of k61 (m4359); three markers in k71 (m4358 in the N section of k71, m4359 in the E section of k71, m4360 in the E section of k71).

dy Today we continued digging f34 with the big pick in all the unit (q61, q64). f34 is medium compact in consistence and presents patches of soft soil. At the elevation of q64, a very compact surface has been exposed in the N area of the unit, with an area orange in colour; therefore we expose all the unit with the trowel. Once finsihed to remove the dirt I asked dM to take a picture of the unit (unlucky, a probelm with the camera occurred, and dM told me later that this photo was lost). I think this was a natural surface that has been exposed for a perid which allow it to became very compact. However, both the matrix and the inclusions did not suggest any radical change. We decided to change the feature number at this elevation, and assigne a new feature number to this compacted natural accumulation (f38). Then we started to remove the feature in all the unit with the big pick (q65, q67). Two animal holes has been noticed at the elevation of q67; one is located toward the E section, the secon is 130m W and 35cm N to m3817 (both have been closed with a little plastic bag filled with soil, in order to avoid any contamination with the pottery in the accumulation below). Finished the day by cleaning the unit and respective baulks.

dy Today we started digging f36 with the big pick in all the unit (q58). f36 is medium soft, crumble when picked, fine in texture, a bit clayish (it leaves color on fingers) and dusty when removed. The soil unit is generally soft, and only with few patches are of compact soil. f36 seems to be the same natural accumulation as f37 in k63. We have almost reached the same elevation as in k73 and of the German trench C2 in k71, therefore, by tomorrow morning, before breakfast, I will move the workmen to another unit. Finished the day by cleaning the unit and respective baulks.

k 63
dy Today we continued digging f37 with the big pick in all the unit (q63). f36 is medium soft, crumble when picked, very fine in texture, a bit clayish (it leaves color on fingers) and a bit dusty when removed. The soil unit is generally soft, and only with few patches are of compact soil. f37 seems to be the same natural accumulation as f36 in k74. It is very soft in consistence (the pick goes down for aprox. 15-20cm), it is characterized by a very fine texture  and is a bit clayish. Finished the day by cleaning the unit and respective baulks.

k 62
dy Today we continued digging f35 with the big pick all the unit (q60, q62, q66). At the elevation of q60 the feature was characterized by a compact surface that, once removed with the big pick, presented a soft consistence. Finished the day by cleaning the unit and respective baulks.
-sg Tomorrow I am not planning to work in k61.
