This week I focused a lot on Impact-echo and straight line velocity testing.

During the beginning of the week I selected and assessed block candidates for my testing.  I chose two similar blocks for the majority of my testing.  These two blocks have similar dimensions both in section and elevation.

A general note taking procedure was decided upon and testing commenced this week with a majority of the week spent on attempts to get baseline data for straight-line velocity tests.  In addition, this week was spent documenting procedures, measuring, and sketching the blocks AT065 and AT071.

By the end of this week, some issues had arisen, including: battery consumption with Siglab (data analyzing software), general testing difficulties, as well as dialing in the equipment to yield positive results.

During the past 3 weeks, my time has been distributed between impact-echo testing, in conjunction with modal testing, some archaeology, and the entire process of moving blocks from the temple mound to the block fields.
