mass of hard, uniformly dense material in the west part of the north baulk of k11. From the top down, it looked as if there were several rows of bricks on top. This may have been the case, and when seen in section in the west baulk there are bricks just under the topsoil which sit atop a cement foundation. However, the elevation of the bottom of the bricks is above the top of this feature. Therefore jlw concludes that what we are seeing is the eastward extent of the foundation, not brickwork. The relationship, if any with platform/wall a25 is not clear. This feature may be a southern extension of a25 or a platform from a different Phase. jlw favors the latter interpretation because no Khabur pottery was found with this feature whereas there was Khabur ware in and around a25 to the north at a somewhat higher elevation.
