Place: Ar/Ts.C3.A7

Sandy soil beneath stone layer.
LBA ceramics. Perhaps a burned beam intersecting with the South bulk.

July 6th- continuing stone removal thru trench. A small charcoal sample was taken from a small circle of ash, perhaps a burned post?

The soil is soft and loose making for easy digging.

July 8-
Still stone clearing. Wall in west bulk could come to a corner against the south bulk.

July 9-
We have finished clearing the stones finally giving us a better look at locus 7. There is a lot of bone coming out and a mix of ceramics, some that appear quite late. Also, there are a lot of small pieces of charcoal and ashy areas, but we are staying in this same locus. The line of ash along the south bulk continues further than we thought and heads into the bulk near the SE corner. We don't know what it is.

A carved horn from the north end of the trench is our first small find of the day.

July 10-
Continuing digging, 40 cm cut. Unlike yesterday, the material so far is LBA dominantly. We are hoping to find the bottom of the wall.

We might have hit bedrock in the SW corner but we have not defined it yet... digging is still quite easy.

Another organic/ash layer/line has appeared near the first in the SW corner of the trench. The two may be connected. We are going to draw a section first thing tomorrow.
