08.11.06 Another scorcher today and this was reflected in the pace of our work. Spent some time excavating WSG locus 16, in preparation for Hasmik, as well as in WSI locus 3. I think we're basically done in both. Most efforts today were directed towards WSI, where we continued in locus 19 and troweled out the southwest side of the upper floor. The situation is somewhat unusual, since we seem to have two floors without a clear transition between them, one at a higher elevation and a lower elevation to the northeast. It's possible that the upper floor is not actually the floor but clay that has come off of the walls. In this case, the in situ pot beside the southwest wall is not in the floor, but on the floor. Fragments of a pot were found in situ on the lower floor today as well. When I finish in locus 19 I will clean out the trench, take some photos, and then excavate the southwest side of the trench, bringing this area, (which will be locus 20), down to the level of locus 19.
