(1) A walking pavement seems unlikely because it appears that both walls A12f45 and A12f16 reach their lowest level at a common elevation which coincides with the elevation of the paving (this is based on a probing with a metal stake below the level of the exposed stone courses: such probing has indicated that there are no more stones)/ If we are at the bottom of the foundations, one can hardly consider this a pavement linked with them. (2) In terms of absolute elevation, a preliminary test indicates that we are about 70 cms below the first floors of AK: while it is not inconceivable that the outside flloor is lower thanb the inside one, it does not in and of itself seems plausible. (3) The paving could be a link anong the two foundations: but why is it so level as to look exactly like a paving, and what is its function since it does not tie the foundations by underlying them? (4) The paving could also be an earlier floor surface: but why does it match so exactly the base of the stone foundations?

C2 0000-00-00_J718OKK.j gb The brick paving is limited to the east and the west, and it slopes slightly to the west. We consider the possibility of cutting the deposit to the east, in order to reach the stone "paving" at the base of the foundations of the two walls f199 and f168. But for now we will wait, since it seems important to understand better the relationship between the paving and the walls.

L2 0000-00-00_J718OKK.j gb A possible configuration of the paving might be as a series of wide steps, going down towards the east. This seems on the whole rather unlikely, but it might explain the loss of the bricks to the east -they would have been sheared near the top by the later accumulation. It will appear soon enough whether this hypothesis may be borne out or not by excavating to the west. M1 0000-00-00_J718OKK.j gb A large new building seems to be lurking in the ground. For now, we have not assigned any label toit, but a clarification ought to emerge from the current excavations. At this point the following observations are of interest. (1) The baked brick paving in k6 links AK with the new building(as possibly does the stone "paving" below"). (2)The stones f109 in k9, even though very high, are suspiciously aligned with the general orientation of AK walls. Do they belong together? (3)We might have here the monumental entrance to a more proper "palace" than AK as currently known. If so, there may be a passage directly from sector C to the new building.

It seems logical that the paving would have been kept clean during its use period, so that no accumulation would have taken place on top of it: the paving was too important to have been covered up while it served its purpose. As a result, this area would have developed a very minimal stratigraphic depth. The plant remains f110 are laid very horizontally a few centimeters above the paving f96. Thus they were laid there shortly after the paving had lost its purpose. I attribute this to the transition from a palace to a non-palace function of AK.

C2 0000-00-00_J718OKK.j gb Rather than removing the bricks from the top, we will remove the west baulk of k8, the bottom of which is level with the top of f111. This feature does not appear in the eastern section of k5, but it must become visible as we excavate east. Once we reach the limit of f111, we should be able to tell from the vertical profile whether or not it it is a grave, and we'll be able to plan our excavation strategy accordingly. C2 0000-00-00_J718OKK.j gb We are removing the deposit to the South of f111, and then we will take a picture. We may in fact consider stopping excavating in k8 at the southern edge of f111.

It could hardly be a paving. However, if this is the roofing of the grave, why is it flat? All other graves have a vaulted roof that collapsed, for the most part (except in area A8). Could this be a flat roof supported by beams? From memory, this looks like an exceptional shape. Yet no other explanation comes to mind. jo also notices that the bricks (all but one) have an exceptional rectangular shape. M3 0000-00-00_J718OKK.j gb Short of a better explanation, I interpret this feature as a retaining wall which marks, in effect, the end of the AH settlement to the south. It would not have been built in function of the settlement as such, but of the the closest house. Clues in support of this interpretation are: (1) bricks are placed vertically; (2) it is a narrow line of bricks which certainly did not continue higher; (3) it is in line with the walls of AK, which would imply that the village came to rest on top of the "horseshoe" configuration of the tell that matched the outline of the palace below; (4) we have houses to the north, and only burials and tannurs to the South of f111.

These three examples have a concave base at the bottom and the hollow portion above. The statue has the hollow above the base, so not parallel in type to the pedestal bases.

K1 0000-00-00_JA12-J.j MKB POTTERY (j718) The sherd lots from this feature contain many CH and FC sherds from large and medium vessels; these do not help with the dating. -- Early sherds include coarser varieties of conical cups with string cut bases, some WS ware although this is not plentiful, some S ware cup and bowl rims, but again not plentiful, a few M ware sherds, some Bi-Color including one bowl rim which is thicker than usual although the shape is the same as the usual BC bowls. Two body sherds of the buff variety of Rough ware. One of the sherds has a heavy chalk streaking on the exterior, probably a local variety of Scrabble Ware (see note below). -- Bowls with a scraped lower body are found in two types: a body shape which is more rounded is later than the Simple Ware Tradition and common in the Bitumen Use Tradition. Also found in this feature are earlier straight sided bowls with a scraped lower body and a sharp angle between the body wall and the base.

Substructure stones were robbed but unevenly due to the jog. For this reason, several bricks remained in place above the stones. A greater amount of water fell in this hole than was usually the case elsewhere, and seeped through the bottom of the negative wall. This caused several of the bricks above to collapse, and much silt to collect at the bottom , together with broken pices of bricks. Because of the s-like arrangement of the wall, this general effect was particularly damaging.

Later sherds include one Habur painted bowl sherd (A10q479-p9), two sharply carinated bowls (A12q81-p13 f103 and A12q81-p5 f103), a bowl or jar rim with ridges on the flat top of the rim and at least one groove on the body below the rim (A12q93-p8 f103) a ring base (A12q81-p14 f103) and one scraped bowl with scraping at lower body and base (A12q133-p22 f103). -- The early sherds include S ware cup and bowl rims, a square rim bowl with an exterior tab handle, many conical cups with string cut bases in FC and ROG wares, fewer in S ware, one M wqare body sherd A12f227 A20 !!_!! !! installation A21 0000-00-00_ZG131hs.j lr wall C2 0000-00-00_JA12-J.j MKB This feature is actually A10f227; two features which are contemporary with this are A12f131 and A12f175.

One base did have heavy traces of bitumen inside (A10q486-p10); its shape and ware cannot be dated except to note the fact that bitumen use in the Simple ware Tradition is not common. The remaining sherds in the feature are either not chronologically specific or dated to the later part of the Simple Ware Tradition. These include bowls with a square rim, one of which has an exterior tab handle similar to the deep bowls from Temple BA but in this case made from a much rougher ware. String cut bases have a sharp angle between the body wall and the base. -- One possible ETC bowl rim. -- One WS jar sherd with a folded over rim looks like a late type but since it is made in WS ware it most probably is early (A10q484-p6).

It blocked the east end of the corridor entrance to the a22 apsidal structure. The stone was excavated in season 12, but as it jutted out over the trench k25, over the winter it pulled away from its anchoring dirt in k24 and was threatening to fall into k25. Therefore, gb and I agreed that it should be removed as soon as it had been photographed. Due to its strange location, in the corridor, over a meter of accumulation, gb belived that it was probably not originally placed in the corridor a31 as a blocking stone, but fell in later.

This curve matches the curve visible in the plan, hence the very tentative use of the definition as "vault." There are a few parallel layers (2 are visible, possibly as many as 4). There is also a suggestion of a curve on the top of the baulk, which matches the vaulted effect of the curves on the section (and ground floor).

This caused the accumulation leaning against it, in turn, to fall inwards, explaining the vault-like bend inwards. It never needed to support itself; it was resting against complementary accumulation for its whole life. H2 2000-06-27_K627JL.j gb okk suggests the term "mounding" which describes well what we see: as if the vault were a brick coating laid over a tumulus-like pile of ash/red soil. If so, f273, f259, and f258 would come first, then f303, then f306, f305, f304. The "vault" does seem to extend lower than f307.

At gb's instructions, I changed it because f259 is a very large and mixed layer, and this layer seemed dirtier than the earth above it. The previous q-lot, q384, in the W half of the locus remains as f259, since the sherds have already been sorted and processed, and to change that would be too much work. B99 2000-07-03_K705JL.j jl Due to the non-existence of f317, f316 has now been extended to include all of the accumulation in k27 from its starting height to the bottom of the feature, which has not yet been reached. C1 2000-07-03_K705JL.j jl There is a clear vertical fissure around k27 on all sides. Towards k26, the ^a is pressed up against a very smooth face, and flakes off quite easily, suggesting that the ^a in k27 is later than that in k26. On the sides facing the stone walls, there is a fissure of soft, loose dirt down which a trowel slides with ease. I am reminded of a pit in A7 from three seasons ago, which had separated by approximately 2cm from the dirt on all sides, making us think for a time that it was a column. Could k27 be a pit, later than k26 and the apsidal structure? The contents of the ^a, large quantities of broken sherds, bones, stones, and also ash, also support the theory that it might be a pit. On the other hand, the very smooth face of k26 is unusual for a pit, according to gb. We will know more as the excavation continues.

Brown in color, it was noticably different from the accumulation above it. At first we thought that it might be the same feature as f309-12, but it seems too dirty. It is softer and "greasier" than f316. B99 2000-07-03_K704JL.j jl The brown layer which was so clear yesterday morning seems to have disappeared. I scraped over most of k27 and could not find it clearly. However, once I set the workmen digging again in the W, they found it again immediately, a few centimeters below the surface. I am starting to wonder if f317 actually exists as I described it yesterday, or if it is simply a continuation of f316, which is soft and brown while it is wet, but turns hard and gray when it dries. The workmen originally suggested this, and are convinced of it. gb made a good point, however, that the texture was also different. If the top layer had had a whole year to dry, though (and that was the first pickrun of the season in k27), then the difference would be explained. We have to wait another day to be certain-if the same thing occurs again, then I will be fairly convinced of it. B99 2000-07-03_K705JL.j jl In the final analysis, f317 does not exist as a separate feature, and was simply f316 while still moist and recently uncovered. B99 2000-07-03_K705JL.j jl ed noticed that the surface was not of uniform hardness all across its length. Also, I noticed a number of sherds along the S edge which were not lying flat, but upright, similar to the gullywash in f314. This signifies that the ^a was not regular, certainly not a floor. On the other hand, there are many lying flat, as well. I think that there are too many upright sherds for them to be only anomalies.

I don't think so, though, since it would have been very strange for the gully to have washed away the giant building stones and to have left behind the much smaller fill. B11 2000-07-05_K705JL.j jl Now, looking more closely at the section, I can see that what we thought were bricky chunks mixed in the gullywash was really the top layer of the brickfall.

This appears to be the same brickfall from above, f219, 215, 205, and 189. It covers the S excavation area in k23. Within it, in the SE quadrant, there was a pocket of ashy soil that may have come from a tannur or other fire source. However, right next to that were several upright or oblique sherds, suggesting still random accumulation. Although this is clearly a new feature, I haven't quite figured out these sherds. B99 2000-07-04_K705JL.j jl This ^bf came as a complete surprise to us, especially since we had not observed it in the baulk and had thought that the whole ^a was gullywash. Partly, this is because it was also missed last season: our scraping today suggests that it only extends 10 or 20cm to the north of the current excavation before dropping sharply off, so it is easy to see how it could have been missed, hidden at the edge of the square. Thankfully, lr noticed it this year in between pickruns, and we were able to document it. We will photograph it in context before continuing to excavate in that section.

This ^a is clearly separate from that in k27. While excavating a few pickruns in k27, we discovered that it pressed against the very smooth face of k26. We still don't know the cause of the fissure. However, because the face of k26 is so smooth, we are presuming for the moment that it is older, and will therefore dig in k27. B11 2000-07-05_K705JL.j jl For some reason, I remembered this accumulation as being mostly free from pottery, but it is in fact quite dirty in terms of pottery and bones, much like the ^a in k27. C1 2000-07-06_K706JL.j jl Today, while excavating in the ^a in k26, we came across a very interesting discovery. The ^a to the W of the fissure for about 30cm horizontally is in fact not ^a at all: it appears to be the crumbled top of a wall, a circular wall with the ashy ^a f307 piled against it, and the top of f308 (presumably) below that. Also, there is a possible plaster face partly preserved on the E side. If these observations are indeed correct, then it would solve many of our problems. The existence of a wall would explain the fissure and the lack of intersection between the strata on either side, and a coat of plaster would explain the smooth W face of the fissure. The presumed wall is itself bricky and red, but we cannot yet see individual bricks.

We were operating under the assumption that k27 had subsided and was therefore later than k26, but if so, where is the other half of the pit? It is unlikely that they would have dug through so clear a layer of white material last season, so it might be the case that k26 is the more recent accumulation. But if k26 cut away the rest of the pit and leaned against k27, what exactly did it lean against, i.e. what created the fissure? Once again, we come back to the same puzzling question, except now even more confused than before.

H3 2001-08-13_L913JL.j jl Presumably, the mud ledge increased apace with the ^a within a36. However, there are two possible reconstructions of this event: first, k26 and k27 increased at roughly the same pace, so the ledge was never more than half a meter (or whatever appropriate size) high. In this case, it served to keep to the accumulation within k27 out of k26. Second, k27 continued in use as a well after a36 was constructed, so k26 increased in elevation for a long time as k27 remained lower. In this case, the mud ledge probably served to keep the contents of k26 out of k27.

There were patches of red, orange, and white material, as well as large ashy patches. Also, the dirt above flaked off in a very even layer. However, if it was a plastered floor, then it has decayed considerably. There were no large patches of red or orange material, and in fact it looked as if it had fallen from above, since they were little islands over the even surface. Also, when excavated, the even surface proved to be the first of a few very thin ^aa over the sherd floor, f349. However, it should be noted that in the NW corner of the locus, the orange material seemed to slope up and cover the wall, as if the wall was plastered, and there is a very clear vertical face on the wall in the NW corner. Perhaps there was a layer of plaster, mostly decayed, and in a few places fell from the wall onto the floor.

It is very thick; sherds are stacked almost directly on top of each other for at least 10cm. Since it was deliberately placed, it should form a chronological seal for this locus. B11 2000-07-26_K726JL.j jl This layer is full of stones and sherds, but little bone. In the NW corner, there are patches of white material, perhaps a large pocket. This is similar to f338, but the ^aa seem harder than before. It is probably calcium carbonate. B99 2000-07-26_K726JL.j jl It is very confusing, but it seems as if the sherd floor material continues into the packing between the stones of the wall. If so, then, the circle of stones which we have below the sherd floor was an earlier structure, with a similar shape and purpose, which was overbuilt by the stone structure. Since the floor f349 suggests that the structure is Phase 3 post-palace use, then the brown packing on the N under AF would have already been put in. Before that, it is conceivable that the actual ground level at the time of the earlier building's construction was much lower and did not need to be sunk so far underground. B99 2000-07-31_K731JL.j jl It seems clear that this is not a floor at all, but the levelling material beneath the real floor, f348. That is why there were so many sherds, packed so closely.

It is approximately 30cm below the level of the first floor in k26, which explains a great deal about the mud ledge. It existed because there was a step down from k26 into k27, which we also anticipated because of settling in the circle. The E side (inside) of the wall was always the smooth face because it was the only side that was ever exposed: the other side pressed up against the floor accumulation. As the internal ^aa rose, this imbalance was preserved, and since layers were pressed against existing layers, would seem to slope slowly inward if viewed over its whole history, as we have viewed it.

The stones of f352, and of the lower walls within a33 in general, are, on average, much smaller than the stones above, such as in f375. In addition, the spacing between the stones is smaller. This has led us to consider three phases of construction, a lower circle, a higher circle that coincided with the construction of the upper palace, and the square.

Perhaps these stones were a part of the original accessway into the underground structure, a ramp leading down, that was replaced later with a stairway. This might also make sense of the brick material found around f354 and f355; if, as I have speculated under f352 and f375, there were actually three phases of construction, then the bricks might have formed the walls and roof of the structure in its earliest phase, with these stones marking the entrance.

B11 2001-08-25_L825JL.j jl This very red layer under f369 was not excavated enough to really get a feel for its contents. However, it actually seems to be a series of thin red layers, with thin brown layers in between them. It is apparently closely related to, if not the same as, f372, although it is not level. Could it be the product of water pouring down a slope? B99 2002-09-10_M914JL.j jl ms and I observed today that the material in the northern half of the feature is rather different from the southern half. In the north, the material is a solid red, while in the south, it is predominantly brown with red, bricky chunks, eventually merging into the brown f369. In all cases, the soil is very damp, compact, and gummy, almost like clay. B99 2002-09-13_M914JL.j jl This layer seems to be linked to f372. Our discovery of the striations on the north of f371 (v___) led us to excavate the laminations there as a layer. Much of what we called f371 lay on top of these laminations. However, the upper f371 material which we removed merged gradually with f369 in the south and west. It is possible that there were never three features in this layer: there may have only been f369 (the dirty brown which looks much like f392, above) and f372, the red-brown laminations. f371, although its solid red was very distinctive at its higher levels, may have only been the misunderstood intersection between these two features. C99 2001-08-13_L913JL.j jl Some of the lowest levels of f369 were probably f371. At the time, we did not understand that it was a series of thin layers, rather than one thick red layer. So, we were searching for a clear red layer, and could never find it. It is also possible that it did not slope quite as sharply as our excavations revealed it, if we were actually excavating material from it on the north side. Still, it is a difference of only a few centimeters.

It was hidden by the mud ledge (f326, f374) until a combination of the winter rains and our excavation removed the mud and revealed it clearly. D1 2001-08-25_L825JL.j jl k27 H2 2001-08-13_L913JL.j jl It is clear from the interlocking of the stones of this ledge with the stones of the rest of the wall of the circular area that it dates from the original construction of the underground structure, and is in fact a continuation of the wall. Furthermore, the intersection of the northern stone wall of the square, k26, does not display such interlocking, and instead appears now to have been added on later. H3 2001-08-13_L913JL.j jl If our observations are correct, then f375 was the original western wall of the underground structure. This would mean that the building was originally circular, and perhaps was not even a building at all, but a stone-lined well or similar construction. Hence f375 and f352, parts of this construction. At a certain time, possibly late phase 1 or early phase 2, as the pottery seems to suggest, this wall either fell or was knocked down. Instead of rebuilding it in the same shape, the square area was attached to the standing walls as an entrance area. f353, and possibly f354 and f355, are other remnants of this original construction, the highest surviving level of the wall at that location. Then, the sherd packing f349 was laid down to raise the floor level above the tops of these stones. H99 2001-08-13_L913JL.j jl If this was originally a well, why was it ultimately filled in? H99 2001-09-18_L918jl.j jl A closer look at the stones in f352 and in f375 suggests that the two walls might actually not be the same construction, but be from different phases of construction in the same place. The stones of f352, and of the lower walls within a33 in general, are, on average, much smaller than the stones above, such as in f375. In addition, the spacing between the stones is smaller. This has led us to consider three phases of construction, a lower circle, a higher circle that coincided with the construction of the upper palace, and the square. M1 2001-08-13_L913JL.j jl It seems fairly clear from the construction techniques that this was the original western wall of the underground structure, i. e. that it was a large stone-lined shaft, in the manner of a well.

It starts very sharply about 30cm away from the eastern wall of the structure, and continues at a slight downward slope for about 2 meters to the west before merging into f384. Since it does not extend all of the way to either wall, we have not labeled it as a ^ly or ^a, but instead as a ^pt, following gb and mkb's observations about the large number of shallow pits found within the building. Another hypothesis is that it was a layer, but the gap on the eastern side is the result of rain water turning the soil to mud and washing away the ash and depositing mud from above in its place. However, the lack of any break or other sign of discontinuity in the surrounding soil argues against this hypothesis. The most curious thing about this very obvious layer is how we missed it while excavating in the northern half of k27 during season L, since it comes all of the way up to the baulk and clearly extended further.

In its lower levels, it changed considerably. It acquired dark, thick ashy patches, hard but grainy red parts, dirty brown parts like f384, and the soft fissure fill along the edge.

However, excavations into the black f408 suggest that it could be of the same time as the rest of the soil in k27, since the seeds continue directly underneath it, and because it seems to layer alternately with the laminations.

At its higher levels, it is unlaminated and dirty, at least compared to f405, in the sense that many pieces of pottery and and round stones are within it. At its lower levels, however, the laminations reappear. This makes me believe that it is the same as f412, that is, a layer of thicker material in between layers of laminations, and is therefore really just a part of the extended f405 sequence. B99 2003-08-26_N826jl.j jl It is important to point out that, although we have equalled this layer to the laminated layers because it was sandwiched in between them in one location, it clearly indicates a separate phase in the buildup of the laminations. The contents of the soil, namely large pieces of pottery and stone, are too different from the rest of the laminations to be coincidental. Furthermore, they seem too large and spatially restricted to be accidental. Could this signify some aspect of the layer's nature or purpose that we still don't understand? Or, like the large stones around the edge of k27, could they just be accidental construction debris or some other fallen material? The extremely large sherd in the portion of f411 which was absorbed by f415 when the new loci were made is especially worthy of consideration: see v231.

It equals f326 and f346. We have seen it in past years, but never completely understood it. It is composed of a series of almost- vertical layers (see v249) which reveal rough faces when exposed (see v250). However, instead of sloping into the circle, the layers slope down towards the outside of the circle, giving one the distinct impression while excavating them that one is excavating them from underneath. In other words, it is as if, rather than being a plaster or layer applied to the stone wall in successive layers (as we originally believed), they were applied around and against the accumulation within the circle, along its outside edge. This has led gb to hypothsize that these are the successive layers of rain sedimentation within the fissure around the circle, created either by soil falling into the fissure and then being melted by rainwater or by rainwater itself transporting the mud into the fissure, down the sides of the accumulation. B99 2003-08-19_N819jl.j jl gb observed today that the face of the mud ledge along the northern wall of k30 looks exactly like the thin, hard layer of mud that clearly coats some of the stones around the circle. This mud face is extremely smooth, but possessing clear vertical striations, as if it were deposited vertically, perhaps by mud pouring down the face of the stones. In some of the examples, drip marks, like those made by wax candles, are visible on the surfaces. If the mud ledge face is the same as those, however, it stands to reason that the mud ledge was created by the same process, that is, layers of mud dripping down the face of the stones, rather than the accumulation, as we have previously argued. It seems to me that such a smooth face could only have developed if there was a space in between the mud layer and the accumulation. gb has suggested that it was perhaps the face of a cut, if they were cutting pits within the accumulation, but then one wonders why it goes around the whole circle, rather than being limited to areas of small pits, and one wonders how it happened in different layers. gb's argument is that two different processes can result in very similar appearances, more specifically that the extremely smooth face of the mud ledge is not visible in all locations around the circle. Therefore, it is possible that the ledge itself built up as we have hypothesized previously, and the mud face along the stones was made as I hypothesized above. Then, they cut the shallow pits, and this cut face developed the same smooth, runny surface because of the moisture from the wall. For this to be correct, however, I think that the extremely smooth surface would have to line up with the small pit, which it doesn't exactly do. On the other hand, the other explanation, that the mud ledge was created by layers of mud running down the stones rather than the accumulation, is equally unsatisfactory, since it cannot explain any of the earlier evidence which led us to our prior conclusion. B99 2003-08-21_N825jl.j jl The question regarding the smooth, striated face on the northern ledge (see v271a, v271b, v272, v212a, v213) has perhaps been answered. Such a surface could only be created if it was exposed, i.e. it was not pressed against soil. It had to have been created by mud running freely down the face of the stones or the mud layers, on account of its smooth surface and the striations, which are most likely drip trails. The fissure has always had air pockets; perhaps this smooth surface is what formed when mud entered one of the air pockets and could flow freely down the stone face. Conversely, when the fissure was without an air pocket, the process which we have outlined earlier occured, namely, that the new soil stuck in the fissure became muddy and, since it could not flow away, it accreted to the accumulation within the circle and created the rough, upside down faces which we have observed in most of the mud ledge. Since it was created by a different process, we have made the smooth, striated face a new feature, f450.

Like most previous accumulations in the circle, it has large red bricky (melted) chunks, and black and white inclusions. It also has scattered laminations, a lot (relative to the previous layers this season) of pottery, small stones and bones, and occassional black seed patches, which are so small and scattered that we did not decide to make them separate features, since we could not follow them separately from the rest of the accumulation. In consideration, however, these seed patches may mark separate occassions of the ritual associated with the api. There was one small patch (about 10 centimeters across) of white material, which we also did not make a separate feature because of its small size. If f445 is indeed a pit cut, then f443 is also mixed in with the fill of this pit, which we could not dig separately because we could not see the outline of the pit or any other indicator of its boundaries. It is very difficult to discern separate layers at this elevation (if any exist) because of the wetness of the soil. Since we presume that any fill within the pit was to some extent the soil removed from it when it was dug, it is not surprising that the colors would be indistinguishable.

Because k30 gets more sunlight and was therefore drier than k29 or the southern trench, it was possible to distinguish laminations in the top layers in certain locations (see v260, v261). The scattered seeds may mark instances of the performance of the ritual associated with the api; however, it was impossible to follow them as separate layers because they were so small and scattered. f448, the fill of a38, is mixed into f444 at its top layers, since we found the cut f447 as we were digging f444 and did not immediately recognize it as a pit cut. B99 2003-08-26_N827jl.j jl It is clear that, in places, f444 had a series of rough, dirty laminations (see v260, v261). These laminations were neither expected (since they were not glimpsed in the trench excavation) nor continuous (they were only seen in scattered places around the circle). Given that our trench cut the laminations in the south-east, it seems likely that the laminations were in the area of f436, but that the soil was too wet and gummy for us to detect them. In that case, that same argument may be applied across all of f444 and f443, although we can't be certain because, as mentioned previously, we only found them in a few scattered locations.

It is probably a cut for one of the small pits which mkb has argued are associated with the ritual in the api. However, unlike f447, it has shown no sign of a bottom, and stops on both sides, rather than curving around. If it was a pit, then the fill of the pit has been mixed in with f443, since we have not observed any distinction between the materials; however, it is possible that f434/f435/f441, the black seeds scattered around the locus, were possibly the top layer of the pit fill, sealing the pit and ending the ritual. B11 2003-08-25_N825jl.j jl A smooth, sloping surface in f433. It was mostly straight (following a NE-SW axis, except at the southwestern edge, where it bent outwards, to the west. We interpret it as a small pit cut, based on our interpretation of f447; the two features are essentially the same in appearance. However, f445 was much larger than f447, and continued below the level to which we excavated this season, so we have not found a bottom (if one exists). If it indeed was a pit, then this pit was much larger than a38. B99 2003-08-26_N827jl.j jl We did not separate the fill of this presumed small pit from f443 because we could not; there was absolutely no distinction between any pit fill and the surrounding accumulation into which the pit had been cut, other than f445 itself (see v262).

B11 2003-08-25_N825jl.j jl A smooth, curved surface in the north of k30. It appears now to be a small pit cut; however, when we first discovered it, it seemed more like a sloping layer within the soil. As we tried to follow it down, we discovered that it eventually sloped back upwards, creating half of a bowl-like space. Because it is only the south half of the bowl, and not the north half, it suggests that the pit was dug only from the south side, and when they reached an appropriate size and depth, they stopped digging, since no face was created on the north side. Following this interpretation, the smooth face is the result of either the shovels (or other tool) that they used to dig, or some sort of smoothing of the face after the pit had been dug. The extreme southern edge of the pit face had been removed previously as a part of f433 in k29, since we did not notice it as we excavated this feature. B99 2003-08-26_N827jl.j jl This smooth, curving face, presumably a pit cut, originally appeared to be a sloping layer. On account of this, we believed that the soil on above it was part of the f444 accumulation layered on top of it. It wasn't until we discovered the opposite face that we realized that we were probably dealing with a pit cut. The distinction between regular accumulation and pit fill was never visible in the soil, i.e. the two accumulations were indistinguishable (see v265, v266), hence our need to use f447 as a guide.

It consists partly of brown material, similar to the rest of the accumulation within the circle, but also partly of reddish-white material, the same material as the best laminations f405 on the northern edge of k27, and a layer of black seeds at the top. This material is harder than the brown, slightly grainy in places, and is often laminated. The question of laminations within the small pit is one that must be discussed, since gb has hypothesized that they were filled as soon as the ritual was completed, not left open to form laminations, nor were the laminations across the whole pit, but were isolated in the northern portion. It is possible that the black seeds were part of the end of the ritual, the closing of the pit, hence they were on the top layer (see v265, v266). Before we realized that a38 was a pit, we thought that f448 was simply part of the f444 accumulation on top of it. Therefore, the earlier sherds from f448 were actually included with f444 material, and could not afterwards be separated. Only the later material from the pit fill is separated out as f448. B11 2003-08-25_N825jl.j jl The fill within the presumed pit a38. We did not realize that a38 was a pit until we had already excavated within it; therefore, much of the pit fill was included in an f444 q-lot. This feature only covers the second half of the excavations within a38. B11 2003-08-26_N827jl.j jl This soil was indistinguishable from the regular accumulation surrounding it (into which the pit a38 was presumably cut). Our identification of it as pit fill was based on our identification if f447 as a pit cut, not on any quality of f448 itself. Hence, our early confusion of f448 with the f444 accumulation around it.
