Conditions:- Early short shower of rain was just enough to dampen the soil. Otherwise warm and humid.
More of the same today gently trowelling the surfaces trying to reveal and define the structure of the building. What was thought to be a plunge pool seems to be a bit too large, but painted plaster is still on the wall. And one of the inside walls of the building seem massive for an internal, so that is also causing interpretative headaches. But all in all everyone is happy with the way the site is coming on, it is very interesting how revealed features are posing more questions that they are answering, but everyone agrees that they prefer it that way. 
…..on the political front 
:- IT support don’t send any one to install the modem (remember, administration privileges required) because it has been decided “it is outside their contractual remit” or some such rubbish.
Pete continues to use my dial-up to send the update for the web pages. He reckons the way it is going EH will have paid for 12 months broadband (minimum contract), he won’t get to use it, and I’ll get to have it for 10 months without paying for it. Ho Hum.
EH’s “latest” update –Week 2 Day 3
After photographing Trench 6 we began to trowel down the area around our new room or building very hard and take-out the fill of the 20th-century field drain trenches as a way of getting an insight into the layers into which they were cut. It seems clear that we have areas of collapsed building material, including what may be stone roof tiles. As we clean and re-clean areas we are beginning to see that the area of Building 2 is very complicated – in addition to the later building, or room we are also seeing a number of what may be other walls and we know that there are features within the area stripped for the road that are on a completely different alignment to the stone-built buildings.
On the west side of the site we returned to Trench 7 and have started to plan and record what we can see prior to excavation.
