Narrative

Continued to remove the topsoil from T32, L01 today, and have almost finished. A scatter of stones is emerging in the SW corner and along the S edge of the trench, and we will clean and reveal these tomorrow. Towards the end of the day, in the middle of the trench, I began to see a soil change to a lighter brown soil (from the darker brown, more organic topsoil), and will make this L02, once we clear the rest of L01 (i.e. the topsoil). Judging by the baulk along the N edge of T27, we still have 40-50 cm to go before reaching and LBA cultural level, but we're making good progress. We also came across a "jar-stopper" with a hole in it in the center of the trench today. Since it's in the topsoil, it doesn't come from a secure context.
