We are still going through the light yellow/brown, loose soil in L508. There is a fair amount of animal bones coming out in the NW corner of the locus. The cross-section of the “berm” feature is roughly circular. As we were coming down, we found a Y-shaped black stain, similar to those found earlier though the soil is slightly less dark. It is SW of the “berm” feature and is between 2282.92 m and 2282.87 m in elevation. East of the unexcavated sediment, the soil is mottled light and dark brown, with a fair amount of burnt animal bones. No feature was discernable from changes in the soil color. The scatter is around the large dressed stone on the northern wall of the trench, and appears to continue underneath it, which may imply that the stone is not in its original position. In this concentration, a sample for radiocarbon dating was taken (Ar/Ge.T19.508.C14.03) at 2282.77 m, and there were many smaller (too small to collect) fragments too. We found two small squat cylinders (which resemble the ceramic “bottle stoppers), one in the NW part of the locus (Ar/Ge.T19.508.L.09), and another about 30 cm SW of the unexcavated sediment (Ar/Ge.T19.508.L.11). We also found something that might be a piece of ore along the eastern side of the LBA wall, which I collected and gave to Rueben. We found another small piece of groundstone (Ar/Ge.T19.508.L.10) ~2 m east of the LBA wall and 2.5 m S of the northern wall of the trench. We found a sherd that Rueben couldn’t identify at 2282.78 m, which is in bag 3 of the ceramics from the locus.
