The day is cloudy and much cooler than yesterday. I have a very young group of workers today since the other workers are at Nigavan with Lori. I can see 2 courses at the bottom of locus 2. I found bronze in my locus 2. At first, we thought they were iron, but they are actually bronze, according to Ruben. I am still confused about where the NW wall actually is. I think I have a double wall. Also, the SE wall is fragile and I am afraid the rocks may tumble. I am being careful with my cleaning. Today there was a fight involving Gagik, Vartan, Jarje, Padu. Gor helped mediate things. Ruben came up and talked to the boys. Vartan came back from lunch about 30 min late. It got hot during the afternoon and the young guys were very tired at the end of the day. In the last 5 min, I found a large sherd of a vessel. I point provenienced it, took a photo, took charcoal (large piece found right next to it). I am cleaning it now. It is probably part of a cooking vessel/platter.
