Designation

Roster Date Author Record
Description (summary) 1997-06-29 dns Loose accumulation may be due to the fact that the tell slopes down to the W, and the W baulk is about 1 meter from topsoil, whereas E baulk is 2 meters from topsoil. Looseness may also be due to root action. [Input: H629DNSD.J]
1997-06-29 rK The ash layer between f332/333 is not a floor, but could have been a working surface because of f335, the tannur. We are collecting sherds and bones from here as a separate layer. Visible in A8 N section as a layer of stones. The accumulation contained a great quantity of sherds. A few small stones at the S demand suggestion of a pit, but there is not the evidence of a pit. This could in fact be an outside floor. [Input: H703RK.J]
1997-06-29 rK turned out to be a thicker section to the W than appeared in the E. There was more hard accumulation in f333 along the E. We have not yet reached, although we are close, to the bottom levels of f333. [Input: H703RK.J]

Notes on recovery 1997-06-28 rK Cutting around the bricky mass revealed the remains of a tannur (see v. ). Fragments of the tannur wall are present in the base. Adjacent to it is something that is most likely is a red structure. It was crumbly and crumbled like brick and most likely was a brick. Its regularly shaped sides are an artifact of the pick man's craftsmanship--it was so cut in the process of the excavation. The tannur itself rested on a crumbly grey-black accumulation.
