-dy In k1 the series of naturally compacted floors f566 was removed. More large boulders appeared underneath it and it is not quite clear yet whether these belong to the second apron f532 or to the top of the revetment wall f569. The underlying layer of compacted floors f534 was then excavated in the Northern half of k1. In k107 the floating large boulders of f561 and f562 were removed and the soil which had supported them (f548) too. Then we started the excavation of the new deposit f568 which covered the lowest steps of the second apron f556. 

k 1
dy The series of naturally compacted floors f566 was removed. On top of where the revetment wall should be there appeared a new naturally compacted floor which is the continuation in this area of f534. Immediately north of this there had appeared more large boulders and the deposit underneath f566 there was soft, crumbly, reddish dark brown clay containing many very small pebbles and a little bit of calcite: this seems to be washed down baqaya. 

f 566
dy f566 was removed today. Underneath, where the revetment wall should be there appeared a new naturally compacted floor which is the continuation in this area of f534. Immediately north of this there had appeared more large boulders and the deposit underneath f566 there was soft, crumbly, reddish dark brown clay containing many very small pebbles and a little bit of calcite: this seems to be washed down baqaya. More large boulders appeared while removing f566 and it is not quite clear yet whether these belong to the second apron f532 or to the top of the revetment wall f569. 

f 534
dy The continuation of f534 in the North baulk of k1 was found today after removing f566. On top of where the revetment wall should be there appeared a this continuation f534. Immediately north of this there had appeared more large boulders and the deposit underneath f566 there was soft, crumbly, reddish dark brown clay containing many very small pebbles and a little bit of calcite: this seems to be washed down baqaya. 

k 107 
dy In k107 the floating large boulders of f561 and f562 were removed and the soil which had supported them (f548) too. Then we started the excavation of the new deposit f568 which covered the lowest steps of the second apron f556.

f 561
dy This boulder was now 'floating' on a column of deposits. After pictures had been taken and its area designation and feature number had been written on it with a permanent marker was f561 removed along with f562.

f 562
dy This boulder was now 'floating' on a column of deposits. After pictures had been taken and its area designation and feature number had been written on it with a permanent marker was f561 removed along with f561. 

q 558
dy This q-lot was assigned to the column of deposits on which the boulders f561 and f562 had been resting and which was excavated after removal of those boulders. 

f 568
ds f568 is the deposit that lies against the lowest step of the second apron f556 and the top of the revetment wall. It must have accumulated here (also covering now the top of the revetment wall) during the use of f556 After excavation of these deposits several stones of the top of the revetment wall seem to be starting to show.
