Today we continued clearing off the surface of Gegharot Kurgan 1. The base course of large stones continues past the center an curves back toward the southern edge of the quadrant, however, there is still about a .5m area of small stones by the edge and it is not yet clear if there is a larger stone behind them. There is also a gap on the northern lower side of the construction where there are no smaller stones. Other than these areas the kurgan is completely covered in small stones, with a lower base course of large stones. The soil between the stones is compact and hard, and filled with small roots. It is almost completely cleaned off.
