Work on:
(1) G 7000 X

(1) G 7000 X
Resumed work on cloth boxed No. 737.
1) Took up the "gray muck" under potsherds No. 888, swept clean the northern edge exposing four more small potsherds.
2) The north-south wood, the bottom of the lower box, is more visible over the whole area right up to south wall but lies at two levels due apparently to differences of pressure.
3) Removed clumps of dislocated "gray muck" along west wall (and west of alabaster bowl).
4) Swept up crumpled wood along west wall (decay of west side of box or boxes).
