Stone pavement

Cleaning work to re-examine the stone pavement, which was revealed in the south end of the excavation in 2004.


Resumption of the excavation

After three weeks intermission of works we resumed the excavation.
Now we have to continue removing the volcanic materials  carried and accumulated by some flows until the red line level shown on the photo below.



As usual, these volcanic materials are very stiff.
