The top of this area (k31) had been excavated during MZ9 as area A8. The excavated depth was close to the sod layer at the W, but almost a meter below the surface at the E. [Input: H708RK.J] |

We began removal of the N baulk by strata. The upper ashy layer, f402, was removed from most of the baulk. [Input: H708RK.J] |

We have come to the top of the brick of f210 in k30; although it stands 0.5m higher than the preserved levels of the wall to the N. Henceforth, the floor & other accumulations on either side of the wall will be treated separately. W of the wall, the accum. @ this level is clean of ash. [Input: H708RK.J] |

A gypsum-like floor covers the extant top of the tannurs, f406,407. It appears that the tannurs were razed to level the area before the floor surface was laid. The floor may not have existed over all of the locus. We could find it at the NW end in the protective baulk when that was removed. This was simply layered over a lower ash floor and it would appear that there was no compacting of material underneath to lay this floor, if it was indeed one. [Input: H726RK2.J] |

f419 was cut as a trench 20cm W of the expected top of f210, to a width of 60cm to the W, as a l00cm long strip, 30cm down. Since the accum. @ the elevation definitely was a the top levels of wall f210, the accum. was assigned f# 454. f454 was further excavated to a depth of ca. 50cm. [Input: H726RK2.J] |

In k31 we are going down in the area adjoining the expected meeting place of walls f200 and 210. We have been able to trace the faces of the brick wall to the S (in line with f210) and brick and stone to the E (in line with f200) at this level. It seemed during the excavation that there was a wall along the N of the locus at its W end. But clearing the wall & scraping it removed all signs of it. Most likely, this consisted of alternating layers of accumulation and accumulation high in chaff; or, it could be some wall like structure built out of mud and chaff. We were able to trace the W face of f210/418 continuing Southward, and the N face of f200 continuing Eastward where the walls meet to form the SE corner of the room D1, kitchen, within locus k31. Excavation downward all of a sudden revealed a cavity in the accumulation below (see v142). It is not clear at this point if the cavity was the result of some settling in pit cut down and filled at a later time, or the existence of some structure within the kitchen room.

We shall remove the protective ca. 40 cm high baulk we have left to the N. This was left to prevent objects from spilling over to k22, several meters below. There is also a baulk to the W, but since is much more likely to disrupt work below, we shall wait regarding it. [Input: H708RK.J] |

Will remove 5 cm off the top over the locus, will then scrape, brush and examine; also 5 cm off top of wall. [Input: H723RK.J] |

We will remove the protective baulk N of k31 as we did part of the S baulk of k30, previously. We will leave a think wall at the edge while removing the rest with the large pick. The thin wall will then be pulled in as carefully as possible. [Input: H708RK.J] |
