Top elevations were recorded. The excavator began to remove the fill and one by one the roots and then the stump came out rather easily by hand. The excavator (Cleomenes) continued to remove the fill. A piece of slag was found and a coin at El. 89.09 m was found by the excavator. Bottom elevations were taken and I swept the pit in preparation for recording the cut of the pit as B15. | |
