Today we continued cleaning off locus 1 of the southern quadrant. There are a few large stones and many smaller ones just south of the curviliniar edge of the kurgan. These seem to have slid or been disturbed from the kurgan. Most are on loose soil and seem to be floating. However, a few closer or attached to the kurgan are in or on the hard packed clay. We left the clay covering along the SE and AVH has folloed it out past the edge. However, it is not yet clear if there is clay over the whole curviliniar edge and in the SW.
