Today's Accomplishments: Continuing work on the top and south slope of Mound A.
Gray fill from interior platform located atop Mound A, in N52 E181. Gray fill from interior platform located atop Mound A, in N52 E181. Several thin fired structure surfaces (possibly as many as three) are on top of this gray platform, which has been taken to a depth of almost three quarters of a meter (with no base in sight as of yet).
Megan Howey, Ben Barnes, and Klint Baggett working on the south slope of Mound A, beginning the difficult task of exposing the third interior stage, which in places is almost a meter below stage 2.

Fired red structure surface in N57 E180, a unit at the north end of the mound summit, with a historic feature in the west wall. Fired red structure surface in N57 E180, a unit at the north end of the mound summit, with a historic feature (building foundation support?) in the west wall. Almost every level/strata of every unit where anythin unusual has been noted has been photographed throughout the project, usually from oblique and overhead views, with  from 30 to 50 or more shots taken each day.
