Met briefly with gB, mKB, and fAB to discuss a possible end point for the excavations in MZ23:
We seem to be excavating a substantial public building which may extend both north and west into adjacent excavated and unexcavated loci;
there is not enough time or resouces to accomplish extensive additional excavations;
the possibility of finding additional significant artifacts means that we should procede slowly;
mKB will leave early, meaning that we will not have the capability for ceramic or glyptic analysis;
we now have enough basic material to see that there was considerable activity high on the BA temple mound in the LC3 period. All of the above points tend to indicate that we should end the current excavation in the next few days and prepare for a more extensive exploration in a future season. [Input: U921JW1.j]
