Daily notes about recovery of elements 2005-08-05 cVP We have just scratched a little of the topsoil, f147, and left it that way. [Input: P802CVP.j]
2005-08-23 cvp Begin with the topsoil f147, and following with the accumulation under topsoil f179. As in k12, the step here is cut diagonally. [Input: P817CVP.j]
2005-08-24 cvp Excavating f179, the accumulation under topsoil. Found a sherd of Mitanni Painted Ware. [Input: P817CVP.j]
2005-08-25 cvp Digging down the first step, f179. No news, it is the slower of the teams. [Input: P817CVP.j]
2005-08-27 mS continued going down with no differentiation in accumulation f183. [Input: P828MS1.j]
2006-08-27 mS continued removing dirt. Uncovered a small burnt lens, f217. This is not a real installation or tannur, but there is some Islamic type pottery in the vicinity and may just indicate the random nature of habitation in later eras. Otherwise, the accumulation, f147, is unremarkable. [Input: Q824MS.j]
2006-08-28 mS Photographed f217 which is a small burnt area. Spoke to jO and he said Islamic pottery had never been found on the site. Continue going down. [Input: Q824MS.j]
2006-08-29 mS Began going down again in this locus after finishing the removal of the north baulk of k4. [Input: Q824MS.j]
2006-08-30 mS finished removing north baulk of k4 and are continuing to go down. Still in f179, the hard, compacted accumulation with sherds and rocks. [Input: Q824MS.j]
2006-08-31 mS Continue going down in accumulation f179. About 65cm above the 9000 step. [Input: Q824MS.j]
2006-09-02 mS The work seems to be going more slowly here today, but we are still removing the entire locus to the 9000 level. [Input: Q902MS.j]
2006-09-03 mS nothing new and continuing to move along. Drew the section of the north baulk prior to taking down, probably tomorrow. Continue to remove accumulation f179. [Input: Q902MS.j]
2006-09-04 mS continuing to remove f179 the accumulation. Also drew the section of the east baulk so it can be removed. We are coming down to approximately 9000 throughout the area. [Input: Q902MS.j]
2006-09-05 mS finished removing the north half of the E baulk. [Input: Q902MS.j]
2006-09-09 mS have reached the 9000 level here and have sectioned off the next step. We have also declared k113 which will be the locus we use to cut back and down to the next step. Still in f179. [Input: Q902MS.j]
