Narrative

The day was spent assessing what rocks could be removed from the eastern half of the trench (principally through the excavation of locus 5). In the course of this, we identified two walls, one that appears to be the eastern wall of the room, which angles somewhat across the trench from the northeastern corner to the south/southeast, and a second, lower, interior wall that forms an arc from roughly the north to the northeast to the south, where it seems to abut the higher room wall. Notable small finds today include a clear obsidian point and a half of a mortar. We also found a strange piece of seemingly butchered bone that has stone wedged into it in the cuts at both ends, on one side with two pieces of obsidian wedged into the cut. Not really a bone artifact, so much as a butchered bone. Material densities in locus 5 and 6 were very high today, and ceramics appear to be largely LBA, with some mid to late Iron Age materials. From here on out, we will be troweling the interior space. Still need to assess fallen rocks along the north baulk.
