Narrative

Today Lilit drew the final situations in the central and western chambers (as well as took photos so she can draw the section in the central chamber). I spent the morning taking final measurements. I removed some carpals and phalanges from the body (Locus 27) in the central chamber that had been dislodged by covering and uncovering the locus. At the end of the day, we removed the whole vessels from the western chamber (Loci 23, 34, and 35). Then we covered the remaining broken vessels (Loci 24, 25, 26) and the human remains (Locus 32) with plastic. Then we covered the entire pit with another layer of plastic and backfilled Locus 8 with dirt from the backdirt pile. In the central chamber, we took another round of photos and then removed the whole vessels (Loci 28, 29, 30, 31) except for Locus 33, which we left in-situ. Then we removed the white stone sitting on the body and collected the bronze belt and the matrix associated with it (to get all of the small fragments). Then we covered central chamber with plastic and backfilled it with dirt from the backdirt pile.

The materials from Kurgan 2 and 3 are being stored in the garage at Durik\'s.
