07.29.2008Last night the tractor was able to pull off 2 of the capstones from Burial 8, but not the large one in the center. We are talking to people about breaking it, but I have my doubts and this may take some time. 2 team members worked on cleaning the chamber of Burial 7 and screening the rest of the soil. The surface has quite a few rocks on it and under it. I drew the chamber and took the final photos of the bones and vessel and took them out. We also started a new burial, 9, which is pretty small (4m x 5m) and started cleaning it off. The capstone looks small thankfully. It is in the highest area above Burial 8--these two areas are separated by a terrace wall.
