2008-08-01. Friday. Hot today, and windy. this morning I set the workers to finding the last of the stones from locus 125, and to removing more of locus 127 while i defined the exposed portion of the dark soil in mid- trench, uncovered yesterday PM. this soil seems to extend for some distance underneath locus 127, and i am designating it locus 128. for most of the day, i had two workers taking down locus 127 from off of locus 128 with shovels, while two others probed for the LB wall (locus 126) in the other end of the trench. on the other side of this so-far-vague boundary, a lighter/redder soil is becoming evident. i am designating this locus 129 for the purpose of small finds. the line between locus 128 and 129 is now clearest at the north baulk, where the soils meet.
