-wk rK added Ahmed to the crew in the lower level; various times required additional dirt carriers (one or two) in conjunction with times when large picks were deemed necessary.

-dy The E section of f220 (i.e., the strip between the excavation lines in A6) was removed. The N section also was removed. The removal of f358 (the layer of accumulation containing, e.g., pits f352 and f354) also was begun.

f 220
ds The accumulation between the excavation lines to the east was characterized by hard deposits, a more ashlike color; underneath were found two rectangular outlines resembling bricks, within were found several nice artifacts, including a cylinder seal of the abstract type over 1/3 intact and a similar percentage of a stone "stamp" seal. That portion to the N was characterized by various deposits of harder, more brown, deposits resembling mud brick, especially as excavated near f78 (perhaps these are damaged pieces from f78 which have fallen)

-wk rK added another workman (Ahmed) was added to the lower level for today. Also, large portions of barren accumulation merited ad hoc applications of large picks; accordingly, one or two additional dirt carriers were added as needed.

-dy the morning light, in conjunction with light scraping of the section created by a small trench at the Westernmost point of f358, allowed two distinct layers of accumulation to be clearly visible. These layers were demarcated by a sharp ash-grey colored line in the cross section. Most importantly, these layers were _under_ f142, and at least one of them was higher than the original floor surface as demanded by the oven flue. The removal of f358 was continued to the E and N; a ca. 20cm balk was left around the oven during this stage of the excavation.

f 220
ds there was no clear distinction between f215 (the layer of accumulation which covered f142) and f220 (the layer of accumulation at the same elevation as f142).

ar f142 must have served as a threshold at a later period than the time of the original floor surface of A6 in Building AK.

f 358
ds the accumulation was relatively barren until the until ca. 100cm from the oven, at which point one half of a small figurine of a canine was found, as well as a large carbon deposit roughly 50cm from the oven.
