Today we were still working on opening up the floor in Locus 31. In the NE corner, just to the south of the pit, there is a post hole (Locus 37).There is another burnt beam (Locus 36) in the middle of Locus 31, which is lying on the upper level of the floor, just south of the pile of rock in the eastern half of the locus. It runs NE-SW. There is another beam NW of the pile of rocks in the eastern half of the trench, which is Locus 38. It runs roughly E-W. It is very eroded and sitting just above the well-preserved level of the floor. There is another burnt beam (Locus 40), just north of the small cup (Locus 39), which runs NW-SE. There is yet another burnt beam (Locus 41), which is north of Locus 40, and runs NW-SE.
It is now clear that there are multiple floors, or at least multiple episodes of floor repair, which have been differentially preserved. The preservation of the floor is better in the northwestern half of the locus. We are taking down the locus to the level of the best preserved floor, which is the surface that the mortar is on and the post hole is in. Locus 36 and Locus 38 are on higher levels of the floor. The higher level of the floor is at 2283.93 masl. There is a small cup (Locus 39) which is sitting on the well preserved floor. There is a polishing stone (Ar/Ge.T31.31.L.07), found on the western side of the locus, at 2283.88 masl.
