What's this ? (2)

The other day we found an unknown architectural element along the wall.
And there was a square shaped hole filled up with soil on it.




We dug in the hole, and found a small tunnel below. It may be a kind of channel..
But it is still unknown where this channel comes from, where that leads to
and how that worked.

Protecting the pavement of the cistern

We covered the entire paved floor of the cistern with non-weaved cloth, and spread it with sand.

The excavation continues

In this area we continue the excavation layer by layer to know how did they used this area and to reconstruct its chronological sequence.







A little crowded........

Cleaning up and taking some photo



Measuring the elevation on the surface

And the excavation still goes on....
