Narrative

Lilit was able to complete the drawing for T02, so we photographed, measured, and removed rocks. It really looks like there were two large capstones. By the end of the day we had a 3 walled cist chamber and the rim of a vessel - black, with an inset rim for a lid? Lchashen-Metsamor? LBA? Which I find strangely disappointing... I was really hoping it would be Iron Age - of any period really!
LA and I essentially got in a fight over who was going to excavate the tomb without actually saying so. He just got in and started excavating. This pissed me off since I worked on this tomb all last year and came out today to run this trench. We also excavate differently - he wants to find where everything is so he knows what is there and how to excavate it. I get the logic of this... it is a benefit to know what you are dealing with. But it also is against all excavating principles that I learned.
