-MK bWP has been putting in markers for A16, and will string the squares as soon as burm and backfill removal is done. Current marker numbers are m2500 to m2506.

-PH The goal of A16 is to work through Phase II to reach the palace. We are presented with two options in overall excavation strategy: should we (as A16 or as mission as a whole) concentrate on a wide exploration of Phase II which is then removed once all uncovered, OR should we consider removing immediately Phase II stratigraphy in some areas in order to uncover the palace to a larger extent. This decision, as regards A16, does not have to be made immediately: we will first uncover all Phase II buildings and then evaluate their importance before deciding to extend horizontally or descend vertically.

-LB A16 will be digging 3 squares that were previously worked on by A13: A13 1,2 and 3, which are now A16 k1, k5 and k6. Some of the features encountered in k1 and k4 will have references to A10 features, since there is a section to the West created by A10 that borders A16 k1 and k5.
