2008-07-29. Tuesday. Hot and clear today, only a slight breeze on this side of the hill. I and the substitute worker (G) started with patiches in the east end, where we have already hit rockfall and shovelling is too difficult. by 11 am the top of the rock fall is more visible, and definitely recognizeable as such in the eastern half of the trench. we continued for the rest of the day working in the rocks with patiches and wherever possible with the shovels. tomorrow i will start to assign loci hopefully.
