2012 excavation DSR available to download
The next in our series of Data Structure Reports (DSRs) is now available, with the 2012 document free to download here.
A DSR is a technical excavation report – an intermediate summary to define the results, initial interpretation and questions that assist developing in post-excavation analysis and subsequent strategy.
As usual, it must be stressed that the document is report of its day and our interpretation of the site has evolved considerably over the last two decades.
Among the aims of the 2012 season were:
- Further clarification of nature of the site and its chronology in relationship to the rest of the World Heritage Site.
- Uncover the full extent of Structure Eight with the removal of infills across its south-western half.
- Further investigate the structural sequence of Structure One, with the revealing of floor deposits relating to its major secondary remodelling.
- Further investigate Structure Twelve – the incomplete nature of its eastern wall and further removal of infill within its main structure down to floor levels.
- Clarify the history of the internal chamber of Structure Ten.
