Today we spent the entire morning cleaning the excavation area to allow Josef flying his drone and realize the orthophoto.
The team then concentrated in starting the removal of the fillings of the drain in the external part of the settlement, discovering that at least the second level was rich in slag.

During the afternoon we started the extensive cleaning of the 1989-1990 excavation area so to be able to produce a final plan and merge the structures from the two different research projects.
