7/26/2006 While Elizabeth worked in WSC3 today, I focused on WSH and WSI. In WSH, we continued to excavate locus 30, the second, lower floor in this room. Towards the center of the room we've come upon what looks like a burn layer, from which we collected a sizable piece of burnt wood, possibly part of a beam. The area is speckled with carbon, most of which is too small to collect. Most of this lower floor has been exposed, although we will continue tomorrow towards the northwest. Another sherd of an in situ vessel was found in the west quadrant, not far from the southwest wall. In WSI, we finished with locus 14. In the north corner of the room beneath locus 14 we've reached a lighter brown silt, although elsewhere in the area of locus 14 the darker brown silt continues. The north corner will eventually be a separate locus, but for now I'll keep locus 14 open. In the meantime, I created locus 15 to designate the west corner, where we have a tan clayish silt. I think we're probably not too far from the floor in this room. Have started to screen.
