Came to the site today to find the top course of the fortification wall was knocked down by vandals. We'll see if mayor and police chief do anything about it as promised.
Have have hit floor level in southern half of SLT1 in all but rocky eastern section where we're taking down a thin layer of topsoil. This part is quite a bit lower, so it will be interesting to see how it articulates with western part of trench. In locus 24 topsoil in this section recovered another small basalt morter (Ar/Ts.SLT1.24.L.3).
The line of small stones running NW-SE in loci 19 and 34 floors is taking the shape of a bin feature that may articulate functionally with locus 27 feature. This new feature will be locus 40.
In locus 33 screen sample, recovered a bronze pendant with three prongs at the end of it (Ar/Ts.SLT1.33.M.1). Pavel thinks there is typological precident in LBA. Second bronze object in this half of trench.
In northern half finishing thick locus 25 topsoil.
