k15
sg The only thing that is certain about AR (see -lb) is that there is a Western edge to the brick platform and a white floor on top of a portion of it. Snce the Western edge goes into the Northern baulk of k15, an important first step to take is to remove this baulk and follow the edge of the platform. Since the baulk is very near the surface, and there is short, we will not draw it, but only take a picture of it. 

-lb I will use the label AR to refer to the Royal part of the presumed royal comlex, i.e., the new building adjoining AK in A12. I will continue using AH for the house comlex in the pos-palance level, and I will us AP to refer to AK and AR as a single related complex. Even though AR and AP remain conjecturual, the labels are useful for the sake of discussion.

q327
in geneeral slope from SE (top) to NW bottome - also q321, q328
nv lit is two pick runs, hence rather deep at the SE corner, about 60cms. Reason is that sherds are analyzed immediately as being from gully wash and only the few significan ones are kept.

-dy Fan-Xi and Carol both sick today. I spend the whole day with lr. Concentrated on k15,k16,k17,k19.

k20
dy levelled a sloping level S (top) to N throughout locus. Reached a uniform grey brickfall f219, throughout locus, then turned over work crew to fab.

f219
ds We reached a unifrom hard grey surface (which I assume is a brickfall from later structure, i.e, post AK) on account of similar brickfall in adjacent squares. However, I did not articulate it.
