Narrative

08.09.2008 Today we worked in the chamber of B10. We started with shovels but screened locus 5. By lunch we had exposed sveral bones--a humerus and ribs near the eastern wall of the chamber as well as the skull of a young sheep/goat (?). Later we exposed 2 vessels also near the wall and south of the human remains. However, we did not have time to expose everything and draw and photo. Vartan agreed to stay as a guard. I had 2 people work on cleaning up B08 to see if we could tell if it is a cist or earthen pit--not clearly either. There are lower stones but from what we can see so far they are not necessarily cist walls. ATS and RB came after lunch and brught the total station. I only had time to map in the datum points and the corners of the Burials 07-10 that we somehow lost before. As well as Burial 04 from 2006. I was hoping to also set up on mapping station 16 and map the rest of the cemetery, but there was not enough time. Also, tomorrow I will sart another burial that I will need to shoot in. Crazy busy day. We will go out tomorrow since the interment in B10 is exposed.
