Narrative

A busy and productive Monday. All 3 of us needed to screen our chambers. I worked in the 2nd burial where I prettily easily found the edges of a cist chamber. We started excavating it with shovels and made it down about 50cm, I spent a good deal of the time trying to teach the guys how to excavate... but there were still holes/deep spots. The soil is quite easy to excavate through so I hope this goes quickly, but it all depends how deep it is!

Shujing worked in the chamber of Burial 01. She's going pretty deep and came across sherds from a large karas. That doesn't seem to bode well OR maybe she will suddenly find more.

Levon was working in the disturbed tomb. The skeleton is horribly preserved, we could barely make out 3 long bones and the skull * we both thought it was on the left side. Took the info for the vessel and removed it. Covered the human remains for more detailed work tomorrow.

The guys drove me crazy today.
