Today we started excavating Gegharot Kurgan 1. Coordinates: E434974/N4505518. We set up a 15m by 15m square around the kurgan and then divided it diagonally, making four triangular quadrants: N, E, S, W. We took elevations from the central point 2084m: SE -122cm, NE -167cm, NW -90cm, SW -78. We started with the east quadrant, excavating along the eastern side. About 4m in we found several large stones apparently in a line. AVIH and MEM began working east from the apex of the triangle. There are several small rocks over this section.
