still very fine weather 22 PP + 3 Fe + 1 aide + 2 Fe at the camp We are today at 17 pairs of horns ( bucrania ) and in the morning one pair is consolidated then removed to go to the museum the two small trenches, having progressed more quickly than expected, will be finished in the day, and I shall still have to this evening pay and dismiss the workmen. After mature reflection, the importance of the room where the bucrania are located being undeniable, I decide to stop this part of trench at this level (- 0.90 c.) and to open to the East the extension corresponding to the room, which Courtois will likewise take down to - 0.90. Thus, we think we will have the 4th side of the room, the continuation of the material belonging to the same level, the possibility of a study and of overall photos, and finally, having covered the whole on the last day, the assurance of finding everything intact next year
