Hello All!
Exciting things happening at Tall Jalul square W2 today!
So yesterday we uncovered the pebble surface and today we dug beside it to see what could be underneath. Mostly we were trying to find the wall connecting our square to square W5, and in doing so we discovered in the stratigraphy under the pebble surface that there are two more surfaces below! About 1 foot below there is a clear plaster surface about 4 inches wide and below the plaster there appears to be another pebble surface!!
We will create steps and see what kind of pottery is in between each surface to date the layers. This is really exciting because these are sealed layers with no contamination from other occupations.
Pottery reading today for the surface showed some Early Iron II and Iron II pottery. I will let you know what we find beneath the surface.
Oh, an exciting development, a group of us is planning to go to Jerusalem for the weekend, so bearing all goes well with hotel reservations I will be able to share with you my experience in Israel for the first time. Should be a great time.
Goodnight! 4am comes early..
