EAST TERRACE 01: OPENING A NEW TRENCH TODAY, ON ONE OF THE LOWER NORTHEASTERN TERRACES. THE TRENCH IS 3m x 5m WITH THE SHORT AXIS RUNNING PARALLEL TO AND AGAINST THE FACE OF THE UPPER TERRACE WALL, THE SURFACE SLOPES DOWN TO THE NORTHWEST, ALONG THE LONG AXIS OF THE TRENCH. SINCE THE TERRACES HAVE BEEN THE ONLY PLACES THAT HAVE INTACT LATE BRONZE LEVELS NEAR THE SURFACE, WE ARE TRYING TO FIND MORE LATE BRONZE.
TODAY DEFINED THE TRENCH AND BEGAN REMOVING BACKDIRT.
