.bk A6 .fl h629dnsd.j .fd diary entries for H628 and H629 .ed H629 .ei dns .rd H628 .ri dns -dy Trench in SE area. Top half of trench is f332, until ash layer reached, about halfway down, then feature number changes to f333. f 331 ds N half of upper cut, f331 (ashy floor) has loose brown accumulation. S half has an area of ashy accum, with a denser concentration of sherds than in N area. Lots of pottery coming from entire upper cut. No clear surface. Looks like a pit or dump, with pottery laying on pottery, mixed with bones, and some small stones. Most of accumulation should be called f332, accumulation below f331. Although we initially called f331 an ashy surface, it does not seem to be one. f 334 ds The bricky mass is now a definite tannur, fallen in, with a brick laying beside it. f 336 ds Shallow refuse pit in SW area, started out as f331, thought top of pit was an ash floor. But, no real surface to follow. Area around f336 has many sherds, could be a working surface/area. Area of pit on sketch has very loose brown accumulation. Accum around pit is harder. Elevation of the center of pit, top, is 8841, 159. Dimensions are 52 cm E-W, 79 cm N-S. Depth is about 30 cm. S extend of pit is 3 cm from the S baulk f 332 ds A part of a mudbrick found in the accumulation. There is much more pottery in this accumulation than we have had so far in this locus. Although f332 extends over the entire locus, the SE area has already been excavated, and we are concentrating on the W half and a small section in the NE area. A number of small sontes coming up in NW corner, about 8-10 cm in length. Entire W half is a uniform brown accumulation, very loose accumulation, especially in SW area. q 790 ds Continuation of cut of f332, S2/3, bones of q790 in with q787. .rd H629 q 775.1 ds discarded q 874.3 ds discarded q 771.1 ds discarded q 771.2 ds discarded q 869.2 ds discarded f 337 ds 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. -dy Possibly another pit in NE corner f 336 ds still seems to continue to level of cut in area of tannur, which is a possibly surface.
