Today I was to finish covering the mosaic floors, finish leveling the square B0W, and clear final debris in square E4(?).
After working on square B0W yesterday, we left not knowing if there was a mosaic floor. For this reason, digging was slow moving. After looking at the tessera, I determined that they were not part of any floor and were alright to be removed. When they were cleaned yesterday, they appeared to have no mortar on the sides. This was odd, because this could mean they have never been used.
Today I learned how to spot plaster. Many times in the past two week, I thought I found plaster, but actually found soft limestone. Limestone can easily be confused for plaster. Plaster is although, flat and thin many times covering a wall or floor.
