-dy Today k13, k14, k101 were open. In k13 we continued to remove a small part of f60 uncovering a compact layer, maybe a floor. In k14 we finished to remove the vertical bricks of a2 exposing the stone pavement f132. Today we have concentrated our efforts in k101 where we removed the floor f144, the accumulation underneath f145 and the accumulation f146 on top of the pavement f108. In the southern part we finished to uncover the floor f142, and after some picture were taken of this floor we started to remove it in its northern part, to see the continuation toward west of the stones pavement of a5. The north sections of k12 and k13 were drawn today and tomorrow we will take the photos of it.

k 13
dy Today we removed part of f60 just south of the big wall f41, uncovering a sloping hard compact layer, that could be interpreted as a kind of floor.

k 14
dy Today we finished to remove the vertical bricks of a2 uncovering almost completely the stone pavement f132, that appears to be surrounded by a narrow band of hard clay that also could be a layer under the stone pavement. Tomorrow we will define better its northern edge, still not really clear and the western edge, where today we left about 20 cm of f131 to excavate, so tomorrow we can have a clear understanding of the link between the two features and to define the east face of the wall f92, not easily recognizable.

k 101
dy Today we concentrated our efforts in k101. Some photos were taken, then we removed the floor f144 and the accumulation underneath it f145. About 10 cm above the pavement f108 we made a new feature for the accumulation right above the pavement. Removing this f146, we uncovered other stones belonging to the pavement, but also a strange row of mud bricks, just 10 cm on top of the pavement that seems to be slightly semicircular in shape. This row is constituted by two rows of thin vertical bricks with in the middle flat small bricks for a total thickness of about 40 cm. Then in order to have a clear face for the mud brick wall, f126, we removed some broken bricks we thought to be part of the wall, but that later revealed just as fallen broken bricks so we removed about 40 cm of accumulation f120 south to the wall f126 that now appears to be closer to the north section of k101. In the southern part of k101 we finished to uncover the floor f142 removing the accumulation f119 between the f138, the wall f115 and the south baulk. Then we started to remove part of this floor in its northern half in order to reach the level of the stones f148 inside a5.
