Trying to trace mudbrick enriched areas of Surf 56; these areas do not extend--unable to trace; peel back 20 cm layer; under mudbrick area in Loca 10, layers of ash & plaster-like areas appear; switched pails & bags to L 49 when it appeared we were excavating pit-fill material (Loca 8, 9, 10, 14); switched back to L 59 at Loca 15; mudbrick sample to geology
