Recovery/Assignment

Roster Date Author Record
Daily notes about recovery of elements 2002-09-04 MISSING This item was surveyed today by BP using the GTS. She was not able to see the vessel so a point was placed to mark the position 10 cm above the object. Photograph v91 shows were the item was surveyed and it's elevation should be subtracted 10cm. Towards the end of the day we decided to remove the object which was half way excavated on it's side. Due to security reasons on the site we did not want to leave the object exposed over night. A dental pick was used to dislodge the soil from its edges then it was pulled out leaving a wonderful impression in the soil. Tomorrow we plan on coming down to the burial after removing the tannur f180 that sits on top of the burial and excavating the skeletal remains that is emerging. [Input: M904LR2.j]
Notes on recovery 2002-09-07 MISSING we removed this jar a few days ago before exposing the entire burial since we did not want to leave the jar exposed overnight. The jar was brought back to the field for photos today. [Input: M907LR.j]
