AREA 3000This morning the southern half of sector b was cleaned and wet to determine new contexts. When none were seen the area was lowered with pickaxes to the level of the north-south trench from the original facade of the church. The area will continue to be lowered until a new layer is found, and in the upcoming days the possible holes in the northern half of sector b will be excavated. |
AREA 5000In Section C, members of the excavation continued to expose the bones and found phalanges in proximity to the cranial vault. In Section D, we succeeded in finally leveling down the rest of the trench to the level of the previously dug North-Western pit. In the process, we managed to extract the humeral shaft in two fragments and found another fragment of long bone from an animal. For the time being, it seems as though the area is close to completion. |
