Narrative

It is clear that we have a floor both along the wall/rocks, as well as in the NE corner. The goal of the rest of the day is to trowel out the rest of the floor. The vessel in the baulk (Locus 33) is resting on the floor, as well as a piece of groundstone (Ar/Ge.T31.31.L.03), at 2283.88 masl. There is also a pit in the NW corner of the locus, which has a few rocks resting on top of it. We found another piece of burnt cord in the NW corner of the locus, but it was too poorly preserved to take for further analysis. Above the floor, in the NW corner of the locus (near the pit), there are areas of light tan sandy clay, which were in large, friable globs. In the NW corner, we found a spindle whorl (Ar/Ge.T31.31.B.01) at 2283.79 masl. Nearby, we found a large groundstone (Ar/Ge.T31.31.L.04) at 2283.88 masl, the lower end of which is just resting on the floor. There is a mortar (Ar/Ge.T31.31.L.06) on the floor, along the middle of the eastern wall. We found another spindle whorl (Ar/Ge.T31.31.B.02) in the NW corner of the locus, sitting on the floor, at 2283.78 masl.
In the SE corner of the locus, above the level of the floor, we found part of a ceramic disk (Ar/Ge.T31.31.CO.02) at 2283.97 masl. Above the floor in the SE corner, there is a lot of ash and a burnt beam (Locus 35). A portion of Locus 35 was taken as a C14 sample (Ar/Ge.T31.35.C14.01), as the beam was too fragile to take as a dendro sample. Right by Locus 35, there is another piece of groundstone (Ar/Ge.T31.31.L.05) at 2283.93 masl.
