Week four started after only one day of holiday. But this time, the archaeology team really had a whole day off and could relax in the excavation house. During the last days all analogue and digital information and drawings were finalized, the finds were brought to the Department of Antiquities and the the soundings were backfilled and cleaned up. But there was time for other stuff, too.
