This ash was found in the entire locus, except for a small patch of f16 then a larger patch of f98 in the northeast corner. The ash is also present in the western half of k12 as well as in A18. In A18, a deep vertical section shows the ash extending down several meters. In k2, we stopped excavating the ash at the same elevation as A18, an arbitrary stopping point. C1 2008-08-04_S804LR.j lR removed approximately 10 cm from the southern end of k2, all ash with several areas containing laminations, patches of brown soil alternating with darker stains of charcoal. The presence of laminations suggests that the ash was not dumped at one time but over a period of time enough for water to pool forming laminations. The ash continues to be clean, meaning few inclusions of pottery and animal bones, quite different from f60 and f62. C1 2008-08-05_S805LC.j lC Today we continued to excavate the ashy layer f22, uncovering in part a harder and compact layer brown in color. Almost at the and of the morning we found a large amount of small bones, according to lR probably pertinent to a bird or to a rodent, and we used a sifter to take all the small bones. C1 2008-08-09_S809LR.j lR On S807 we reached the elevation of A18's pebble and sherd pavement in k12 and decided to stop excavating the ash. We then moved into k2, excavated f22 down 15 cm to reach the same elevation as k12 and A18. By the end of the day, this was achieved. Some small patches remain in the southeast corner that will be removed tomorrow.

In A18, a deep vertical section shows the ash extending down several meters. In k12, we stopped excavating the ash at the same elevation as A18, an arbitrary stopping point as it continues to go down. C1 2008-07-28_S728LR.j lR A total of 15 cm was removed from the entire southeast corner then expanded to the north to level out the rest of the feature.

The ash alternated from some areas showing black stains while some areas are slightly more compact and brown. f52 continues to go down but stopped excavating this feature after breakfast due to insufficient tents for shade.

Large broken bricks are uniformly found within a softer matrix. Approximately 25 cm thick, this feature transitions into compact bricky mass with larger brick components present, some complete bricks forming f41, wall. The brickfall also covered f59, a hearth sitting on bricks from f41. C1 2008-07-28_S728LR.j lR We continued to excavate this feature today, removing 10 cm, thinking that we found the bottom since in the east a nice ash level was found, presumably the end of brickfall. The layer however was only localized in the east, with the matrix towards the east resembling a combination of brick melt and brick fall. The soil is hard, bricky; some lines are present but don't form any structures or pattern. Tomorrow, the area will be scraped and cleaned to see if any more bricks surface. If not, we should consider changing the feature to define it as more compact than the brickfall above.

As a result some of the early templates label f86 as f40. B11 2008-08-09_S811LR6.j lR In the western part of k15, adjacent to the west section, several brick faces emerged, arranged vertically that continued into the western baulk. Within a few days more bricks emerged in the northeast corner, horizontal and different from the vertical bricks but since no definition could be concluded, both these sets of bricks were labeled f40. After we removed the west section of k15, or the east section of k14, the vertical bricks continued under the section and found in k14, labeled as f56. The horizontal bricks found earlier turned into a wall, oriented north to south and we relabeled these bricks as f86. f40 with f56 are included under aggregate 2 (a2) forming a box like structure with multiple courses of vertical bricks, obliquely set, with thick mortar between the bricks. The first course was eroded and removed early in the season so it's difficult to reconstruct the original shape of this structure; it appears that the bricks were set in a manner that created a domed outer shape with a square base. The top bricks were cut back in section to understand how it was constructed with more bricks found below, vertically set and identical to the top course. On the western end, a wall constructed of thin vertical bricks obliquely set abuts a2, given the similarities in construction we are assuming that this wall is associated with a2. The western border also shows some of the bricks collapsed and these bricks were left articulated. It is unclear how deep this structure is, at the moment it appears to be three courses in construction utilizing bricks measuring 36 x 36 x 10 cm. C1 2008-07-23_S723LR.j lR This feature was assigned to the cluster of emerging bricks in the western half of the locus. It is unclear if this is a wall or tomb. C1 2008-08-04_S804LR.j lR Articulated this feature today after the east baulk of k14 was removed. This appears to be a several courses of vertical bricks forming a rectangular shape located between k14 and k15. The eastern portion was cut back to see if a section could be made, exposing the brick faces but only a few faces emerged. The sides were also defined. This is either a wall, using vertical bricks however since it doesn't continue in k14 or k15; it seems strange to be a wall. Another possibility is a grave with several cases at Mozan and other areas showing vertical bricks used in tomb construction. Lastly, this could also simply be a brick pile used for construction that was left in place after abandonment. C1 2008-08-05_S805LR2.j lR Met with gB today to discuss the strategy for excavating this structure. He suggested to cut several sections to understand the size of the bricks, orientation, and construction before the top surface of the bricks are removed. Tomorrow we will begin to do this. C1 2008-08-06_S806LR.j lR The box structure, f40 was cut into two section in order to understand it's construction. Sections on the north and east were cut, showing that both half and whole bricks were used in construction with the east section also showing the bricks stepped up between levels. Photographs will be taken tomorrow before more of the bricks are removed. The western end of the structure was also defined by removing 5 cm from f62 and coming towards the structure. C1 2008-08-09_S809LR.j lR A series of thin vertical bricks set at an oblique angle were found while excavating f87. The bricks are held together with thin mortar forming a wall west of a2, f40, and possibly forming a room bounded by f97 and f63 or a wall for f40. C1 2008-08-19_S818lR.j lR This morning the north section of k101 was drawn. This section is not the true north section of k101, it is actually our cut into k14 but shows nicely the wall f127 which we plan to remove today for the purpose of exposing f40 (a2) which is presumably behind wall f127. After the section was drawn we then photographed the section, including overhead, oblique, and direct north views. The wall was removed in section, beginning in the eastern area working west, leaving a small section to see the horizontal bricks from two sides. We then proceeded to continue removing the bricks to west, then cleaned out the section and photographed it again. What was in view was bricky material sitting on a nice row of horizontal bricks then several centimeters below, a layer of reddish fine clay appearing similar in shape and size to bricks but much softer than brick. Another layer was removed, moving north and this time removing f40 vertical bricks to expose another layer of the horizontal bricks behind. In the west, more stones surfaced to the north, in line with the stones from wall f125. It is unclear if these stones continue north, if so then a2 was built over f125 wall.

The wall measures 50 cm in width, constructed of one brick and a half. The length is unknown as the wall is yet completely excavated, at the moment measures 120 cms. Two types of bricks are present, an orange-reddish and gray bricks with gray mortar lines, with two courses currently visible. The bricks run into the west baulk with more bricks visible in the west baulk suggesting the wall turns to form a corner. A parallel wall may be present 127 cm south from f41. Here a large bricky mass is present but no clear brick faces or lines distinguishable. C1 2008-07-28_S728LR.j lR Spent the entire day focusing on f41 and the area to the west. Only the northwest corner was articulated and defined thus far so increments of 5cms was shaved off from the surface to see if these bricks extend to the east. Two more bricks were found but the area is extremely confusing with hard compact material showing no brick lines or faces. The strategy then changed, starting from the south end working towards the bricks, 10 cms was removed to see if the inner face of the wall could be found. The faces were found however more bricks surfaced below, extending the width of the wall by a meter to the south. Either this is a very thick wall or something other than a wall. C1 2008-07-29_S729LR.j lR In the northeast in line with f41 more bricks surfaced indicating that the wall continues to the east, under the baulk. Bricks are also present in k14 east; if this is the same wall then this is either a very large structure or a wall delineating an area, similar in function to a fence. C1 2008-08-09_S809LR.j lR More bricks are beginning to surface south of the defined area for f41. This bricks are the same orientation, found lower in elevation. At this moment we are leaving these bricks are part of f41 and defining it as a thick wall. In the next locus, k14, the same situation is visible with more bricks to the south of f63 wall, also at a lower elevation. One possibility is that these walls are later additions to narrow an associated room or alternatively, these could be two walls that abut each other. C1 2008-08-25_S825LC.j lC We finished removing part of f30, to find a compact surface, visible in section, and to find more bricks of the wall f41. C3 2008-07-28_S728LR.j lR One argument for defining f41 as a pavement rests on the burned area, f59, sitting on one of the bricks of f41, similar to a hearth of some sort. This could be also a reuse of the original wall, setting a hearth over the wall after abandonment and build-up of the area.

The tannur is 10 cm deep, found collapsed in, and shows small broken bricks around the top surface used as props to set the tannur. Ash was found inside, indicating no inclusions such as pottery or animal bones with the fill clean ash. C1 2008-07-23_S723LR.j lR The base of a tannur, found while excavating f29, interface between bricky material and ash, f36. The base is complete with large fragments of the tannur resting on top of the base. The tannur appears to sit on the ash f36 with a cobblestone floor found immediately to the north. C1 2008-07-24_S725LR.j lR Began to excavate f42 today using small wooden spatulas. The fill inside consisted of soft light gray ash, no pottery or bones found only fragments of the tannur and over fired brick pieces. Currently, 10cms was removed with the tannur continuing to go down. Typically at Mozan, tannurs sit on floors with only 5 cms remaining of the base. In the Mittani levels, A18 contained several tannur ovens and cooking installations that are different from the earlier phases. The Mittani ovens found were pedastooled or propped up by bricks allowing the person using the tannur to stand instead of squatting down. If the walls of f42 go down then the tannur dates to the same phase as the Mittani structures in A18 rather than a later phase that built over the earlier ash fills. C1 2008-08-09_S809LR.j lR Excavated f36 ash around the tannur today, exposing the outer surface showing the tannur floating in ash.

This feature is approximately 30 cms below f27, very compact with faint traces of brick lines that do not form any shape. Initially labeled as brick melt for the color, hardness, and texture is similar to f27 brick melt but yesterday we reassessed this feature, finding flat brick lines in section suggesting a possible structure, wall, or pavement. C1 2008-07-28_S728LR.j lR f52 was found sloping down with f24 clearly coming up to f52. C1 2008-08-10_S810LR2.j lR This feature along with f82 continues to perplex us as it is a large amorphous bricky mass with faint suggestions of brick lines that never materialize into complete bricks. Today after meeting with fAB, it was decided to remove 10 cm of it starting from the south. This material was very difficult to remove coming out in large bricky chunks that fail to break with your hands, perhaps secondarily fired from whatever created ash f22 and f24. At the end of the day no resolution was reach for underneath the same compact bricky mass is present. To the south, f82 was also removed 10 cm finding interesting veins of reddish to orange clay. Given all the ash, the artifacts we are finding which include small fragments of flint, lithic blades and samples of minerals, perhaps this area was associated with some type of craft production. Several holes are present on the western side of f52, interpreted as animal holes although it's strange to have so many on the surface and may be linked to a specific function. The largest hole, fill f104 has one corner with brick faces suggestive of a possible door but the other side is rounded, appearing more like an animal hole than a doorway. The fill was partially excavated to see if more brick faces surfaced, these faces were found only in the southern end. C2 2008-07-28_S728LR.j lR This feature is similar to f41 and f58, a hard bricky mass with no clear brick lines present making it difficult to determine an excavation strategy. At this moment, f52 slopes down in the west where it abuts f24 so we know that it continues in depth. Based on this observation, our strategy is to remove 10 cm from the top, first in a test trench, to see if brick lines surface below. C2 2008-07-29_S729LR.j lR The area remains confusing as bricky mass is found everywhere with no clear brick faces visible. A 1x1 meter trench was set up in the north, adjacent to the north baulk, with 10 cm removed to see if bricks are present below. A section was also cut from the sloping bricky mass in the west, revealing nice brick lines. By the end of the day a wall was exposed running west to east, under the east section and likely is the same wall as f41 in k13.

To the north of the vertical bricks, there are also flat horizontal bricks that extend east into k15. At the moment we are keeping both these sets of bricks as f56 in k14 until the area is better defined. Presumably the bricks also run west under f34. B11 2008-08-09_S811LR6.j lR f40 with f56 are included under aggregate 2 (a2) forming a box like structure with multiple courses of vertical bricks, obliquely set, with thick mortar between the bricks. The first course was eroded and removed early in the season so it's difficult to reconstruct the original shape of this structure; it appears that the bricks were set in a manner that created a domed outer shape with a square base. The top bricks were cut back in section to understand how it was constructed with more bricks found below, vertically set and identical to the top course. On the western end, a wall constructed of thin vertical bricks obliquely set abuts a2, forming a wall oriented north to south, given the similarities in construction we are assuming that this wall is associated with a2. The western border also shows some of the bricks collapsed and these bricks were left articulated. It is unclear how deep this structure is, at the moment it appears to be three courses in construction utilizing bricks measuring 36 x 36 x 10 cm. C1 2008-08-04_S804LR.j lR Articulated this feature today after the east baulk of k14 was removed. This appears to be several courses of vertical bricks forming a rectangular shape located between k14 and k15. The eastern portion was cut back to see if a section could be made, exposing the brick faces but only a few faces emerged. The sides were also defined. This is either a wall, using vertical bricks however since it doesn't continue in k14 or k15; it seems strange to be a wall. Another possibility is a grave with several cases at Mozan and other areas showing vertical bricks used in tomb construction. Lastly, this could also simply be a brick pile used for construction that was left in place after abandonment.

The stones were found under f44, west of f46 wall (outside of a1) and under f55, accumulation inside a1. The stones vary in size, averaging between 5-30 cm in length. Pottery inclusions are visible between the stones in some areas suggesting either the pottery became embedded during use or were used in the construction of the pavement.

However, current removal of f55, accumulation inside a1, is beginning to reveal that the stones continue into the structure, perhaps forming a pavement for a1. The northern section of the pavement appears to continue around the wall f38, following the corner and also showing signs of continuing into the walled structure. Further excavation will soon reveal the extent of the surface boundaries.

The wall is constructed of 2 bricks and a half, forming a portion of the large wall that spans from k12, k13, k14, and k15 (see f64 and f41). Another mud brick wall was found at a lower elevation, f106, that either abuts or bonds with wall f63 to the south, forming a thick wall that measures approximately 200 cm in thickness. The depth of this wall is unknown as it is only partially excavated but from k12, we see that this wall continues down at least a meter to the current excavated level. In A18, a stone pavement was found at elevation 9185, perhaps the floor surface associated with this wall. If this is the case, then the wall would measure 2 meters in depth. C1 2008-08-09_S809LR.j lR More bricks are beginning to surface south of the defined area for f41. This bricks are the same orientation, found lower in elevation. At this moment we are leaving these bricks are part of f41 and defining it as a thick wall. In the next locus, k14, the same situation is visible with more bricks to the south of f63 wall, also at a lower elevation. One possibility is that these walls are later additions to narrow an associated room or alternatively, these could be two walls that abut each other.

This feature represents a portion of a large wall found throughout four loci, with this portion forming the western end, extending 300 cm to the west then ending with f24 ash abutting the wall. The first two courses of bricks were removed to see better brick faces below, finding the walls constructed utilizes both vertical and horizontal bricks. The horizontal bricks are half bricks set lengthwise in one row with a set of vertical bricks to the north. This construction appears only in the northwest half of the wall with the eastern portion appearing to be only horizontal bricks with the same construction as f41 and f63 wall. One possibility is that this wall was reused at a later phase, making it into a bin similar to f79 and f71 wall in k4. Soft fill was found between the vertical bricks labeled f88 and partially excavated. To the south of this wall, f52 either abuts or bonds with f64 wall. Currently this wall continues down for over a meter in depth. C1 2008-08-04_S804LR.j lR The extent of the wall is unknown with hard, compact, bricky material to the immediate south of the defined bricks of f64. Today we removed the soft material above the compact layer to see if we could articulate the brick fall or bricks. Several brick lines emerged, as well in the section with the area to the south becoming less compact and more like brick fall. New feature numbers will be assigned to these two areas since f52 was defined as brick melt and may be a wall. C1 2008-08-07_S809LR.j lR This wall continues to go down. We are currently approximately 2 meters down in the the ash with the bricks from f64 jutting out in section. Small rodent holes are present along with a large hole without bricks that may be a doorway. C1 2008-08-09_S809LR.j lR sE made an interesting observation that the bricks of f64 have a set of horizontal and vertical bricks, whereas it was assumed the wall was constructed only of horizontal bricks that are visible in the north section. The area was further articulated finding an area where a brick was missing, thus forming a probe into the area under the bricks. A new feature was created, f88 defined as fill between the bricks, showing a soft ashy soil with a few vertical bricks sitting on this ashy soil f88. C1 2008-08-14_S816LR.j lR A pavement, f117, was found under f52 and f82 (seen in the eastern border) forming a thick highly compacted floor surface with pottery sherds underneath serving as leveling material for the floor. f117 does not extend north under f64, appearing localized under f52 and f82. This would suggest that f64 is earlier in construction.

The pavement was on the bottom of this kind of channel in the middle of k4. It was constituted of small sherds and few pebbles, but with a considerable number of bones. Then, uncovered the pavement f73 to the north of it, we assumed that these pavements were the same and we will use for the moment f73. It seems strange a correspondence between the pavement of k3 where three different layers have been uncovered, because the second one that should correspond to f72, is too much better built. C1 2008-08-05_S805LR2.j lR This feature was assigned to the first pavement that surfaced, under f70. To the north, another pavement was found f73 with the connection unclear between the two pavements and thus assigned two discrete features. After excavation today, it appears that both these pavements are the same with f72 possibly representing either an earlier level that was added to forming f73 or that this pavement simply slopes down to the south. Given the pavement's irregular surface, understanding if f73 is on top of f72 is impossible. At the moment, we will use f73, assuming that the features are the same pavement.

This pavement is the second found in k4 after the pavement f72. The two pavements are really similar, and the only difference clearly visible is a little difference in level. But it is possible that the two pavement are the same, with a sort of later rearrangement of the first pavement f72. Now we consider them as the same pavement. The surface is irregular with many bones and sherds lying flat and vertical in a clay soil. C1 2008-08-04_S804LR.j lR this pavement began to emerge today with small pebbles and cobblestones present, similar to f35 and at the same elevation likely a continuation of this feature into k4. The pavement appears to have multiple phases of use with another pavement below, seen in the middle of the locus, labeled f72. The same situation is present in k3, with multiple levels of f35 pavement. C1 2008-08-05_S805LR2.j lR Spent the morning articulating the pavement f73, exposing many fragmented animal bones embedded in the pavement.

This material was very difficult to remove coming out in large bricky chunks that fail to break with your hands, perhaps secondarily fired from whatever created ash f22 and f24. At the end of the day no resolution was reach for underneath the same compact bricky mass is present. To the south, f82 was also removed 10 cm finding interesting veins of reddish to orange clay. Given all the ash, the artifacts we are finding which include small fragments of flint, lithic blades and samples of minerals, perhaps this area was associated with some type of craft production. Several holes are present on the western side of f52, interpreted as animal holes although it's strange to have so many on the surface and may be linked to a specific function. The largest hole, fill f104 has one corner with brick faces suggestive of a possible door but the other side is rounded, appearing more like an animal hole than a doorway. The fill was partially excavated to see if more brick faces surfaced, these faces were found only in the southern end. C1 2008-08-14_S816LR.j lR A pavement, f117, was found under f52 and f82 (seen in the eastern border) forming a thick highly compacted floor surface with pottery sherds underneath serving as leveling material for the floor. f117 does not extend north under f64, appearing localized under f52 and f82. This would suggest that f64 is earlier in construction. C1 2008-08-17_S818lR.j lR In k12, 5 cm was removed from f82, noticing several brick lines but not enough to define a wall. We then began to excavate the vertical section of f82, to see if good brick faces surfaced and to investigate if f117 curls up towards the bricks suggesting an outside floor surface or if the bricky mass sits on the floor. After following several good brick faces we resolved that f117 goes under the presumed bricks, finding a series of pavements at different elevations. This suggests that f52 and f82 were reused over multiple periods of time, laying down new pavements. It also suggests that the bricky mass is not technically a wall due to these multiple pavements underneath but that bricky material was periodically placed over the pavement during use. All 3 pavements are similar in type, color, and hardness labeled f123 and f124. C2 2008-08-06_S806LR.j lR To best define f52, the area to the south, f82 will be excavated coming towards f52.

The drain has a probable semicircular shape running from north-west to east. It is built with hard gray clay, small stones and vertical yellow/orange bricks. The drain is still in part to be excavated so its shape is not yet completely clear. It is related to the pebble pavement south of it and to the installation f96 to the north. It doesn't seem to have a sharp slope but is slightly oriented towards the east. C1 2008-08-06_S806LR.j lR The cobblestone pavement was removed after breakfast today with another pavement found below, f80. While cleaning the pavement, a possible drain surfaced f83 constructed of reddish clay with large white inclusions, similar to packing material found under houses and often associated with drains. fAB mentioned that this clay is water tight and thus used as a sealant. The area is still undefined, with only a small portion with a channel exposed. Another pavement is surfacing next to this drain, possibly associated with it with f80. C2 2008-08-10_S810LR2.j lR Discussed with fAB the possibility of removing the drain installation in k13, including f80 stone pavement and f81 accumulation over the pavement. Today we relayed the drain to create a template for a drawing. The advantages of removing the drain would be to expose the next phase below while coming towards the south of f105 and f41 wall. We are under the assumption that the drain is a later phase associated with the tannur f42 and pavement f35 which was removed yesterday. We plan to discuss this strategy with gB at the next meeting.

The wall was very badly preserved in the upper part so we cut it for few cms in order to have better preserved bricks. The bricks are gray in color and they don't appear to be of good quality. The wall is constructed of a brick and an half for about 70 cms in width and in the eastern portion of it, at least four or five courses are still preserved. C1 2008-08-06_S806LR.j lR Finished excavating the southern baulk of k15, coming down to the southern wall of a1, f84. This wall was noticed earlier, at a higher elevation but the bricks were in such poor condition that it was difficult to tell whether it was a wall or brickfall so it was removed. The bricks below are nicer and we were able to articulate it in A19's north section, noticing that the bricks go down below the stone pavement f57, three courses deep. This suggests that the wall was built first, before the stone pavement. C1 2008-08-17_S817LC.j lC In the northern part of k101 we continued to remove the brickfall f94 in order to find a good face of wall f84 that seems to continue towards the west. At the beginning we thought that the mud bricks belonged to structure a2, but after rethinking the situation we realized that the bricks are horizontal (not vertical like a2) and thus pertinent to the wall f84. So it seems that the structure a2 abuts in part the wall, but the situation is still unclear. While cleaning the north sections, looking for the face of the wall f84, we found some courses of mud bricks above two courses of stones that could be the foundation of the wall, but only in the eastern part of the wall for about 100 cms in length. Towards the west only three courses of bricks are preserved and they seem to be lying above different layers of accumulation, ashy layer and red/orange soil, maybe bricky or burnt material. C1 2008-08-18_S818lR.j lR Wall f127 appears to abut f40 on the southern end, these are a series of horizontal bricks that go down several courses then ends approximately 15 cm then f126 wall emerges underneath. At first we assumed that wall f84 continued to run west, so that f127 and f84 was the same wall. This however is not the case. While removing f120, stones emerged, west of f85 wall. These stones continue to go down; at the moment are 3 stones deep but stop to the west. A thick vertical line is also visible where the stones end which would then make f84 a discrete wall with stone foundations at its western edge and another wall, f127 built in the west that abuts f84. C3 2008-09-13_S916LC3.j lC The wall f84 in its western portion shows a big stone substructure with stones of medium and big size (to 45-50 cm). Above this substructure are preserved just few courses of mud brick. The wall finishes exactly where the stone pavement f108 (el 9149 @top) starts going toward west. Next to the western part of the wall f84 there is the wall f85 running north to south that abuts it. We don't know how far the stone substructure is continuing toward east, because when the wall f84 is again visible in its lower part, next to the wall f116 the stone substructure is not any more visible. Probably there isn't or with more difficulty is lower. Toward east we don't have the substructure but it is preserved (very badly) with a high elevation (el 9330), about one meter above the level of the stone pavement f57. So the wall f84 probably was a big wall constructed and used in the same time of the stone pavement f108 and the stone pavement f57 (that abuts the wall) with a higher elevation, showing a stepped organization of the structures.

This wall is composed of small vertical bricks (about 5x32x30 cms). These bricks measure only 5 cms in thickness are slightly oblique. We are uncertain if f92 functioned as a wall or bench. It could be part of the eastern structure a2, also because its relationship with the other walls f106 and f97 is still to be clarified. Pavement f93 seems to continue underneath this wall. The construction of this wall differs in technique when compared to the other adjoining walls of a4, making this wall an anomaly possibly reflecting a different function. C1 2008-08-09_S809LR.j lR A series of thin vertical bricks set at an oblique angle were found while excavating f87.

The south end of the section, k101 however does not show these bricks and perhaps are simply collapsed bricks. B11 2008-08-16_S816LC.j lC Initially this feature was labeled as a mud brick wall, but after some attempts to find a regular brick faces failed by removing 5 cms of soil at a time, this feature has been relabeled as brickfall. It is composed of large quantities of broken gray mud bricks with an irregular shape. Some of these bricks appeared horizontal in section thus our original definition of a wall however while excavating the surface, these horizontal bricks resulted in only broken bricks and were removed to expose the southern face of f40. C1 2008-08-10_S810LR2.j lR attempted to find a good surface for f94 by first removing the softer fill around the broken top bricks but this only showed a jumble of collapsed and broken bricks. We then cut the top layer, removing 10 cm to see if better bricks surfaced. Another 10 cm was removed, concluding that f94 is not a wall C1 2008-08-16_S816LR.j lR In k101, the area south of a2 was excavated, continuing to remove f94. This feature has been redefined as brickfall and not a wall. While excavating, broken bricks were noted in large pieces however these were not organized and thus removed. A patch of reddish thick clay is present in the eastern corner, we are unsure if it continues west. C1 2008-08-17_S817LC.j lC In the northern part of k101 we continued to remove the brickfall f94 in order to find a good face of wall f84 that seems to continue towards the west. At the beginning we thought that the mud bricks belonged to structure a2, but after rethinking the situation we realized that the bricks are horizontal (not vertical like a2) and thus pertinent to the wall f84. So it seems that the structure a2 abuts in part the wall, but the situation is still unclear. While cleaning the north sections, looking for the face of the wall f84, we found some courses of mud bricks above two courses of stones that could be the foundation of the wall, but only in the eastern part of the wall for about 100 cms in length. Towards the west only three courses of bricks are preserved and they seem to be lying above different layers of accumulation, ashy layer and red/orange soil, maybe bricky or burnt material.

This feature is not considered brickmelt because it is softer than other examples of brickmelt in the area and retains an ashier appearance than f27. It is also deeper than brickmelt which normally forms a thin layer. When compared to f52, also a bricky mass, it is much softer and easier to scrape with a trowel. It is very compact with a sharp edge in the western side where it seems that some bricks can be recognized, particularly on the top surface, just to the north of the ashy layer f103. C1 2008-08-09_S809LR.j lR Removed the ash f22 which abuts f98 in the west, exposing the western border of f98, approximately one meter in height. This vertical surface was brushed today with several flat bricks noted. The ash from f22 makes it difficult to distinguish components for the ash obscures the color. One strategy is to shave off 10 cm from the outer surface to create a better vertical section, perhaps exposing brick faces. At the moment we are defining this feature as bricky mass for no brick lines are present with only a sharp distinction between the ash and this hard compact mass. This feature extends north into k12, labeled as f82 and f52. C1 2008-08-10_S810LR2.j lR Initially assigned to the more compact bricky mass in k2, east of ash f22 that overlays and abuts this feature, under the assumption f98 ran along the entire eastern half of the locus. Today while brushing f98, it was discovered that the southern end, approximately 150 cm x 150 cm was still f22 ash and was removed. Furthermore, while scraping f98 we found an area of burning, with white ash, black stains, and larger inclusions of charcoal, pottery, and tannur fragments bounded by bricky material to the north. We thus redefined f98 to run from the north to the south, forming a border between a pink compact bricky mass and f103 ash accumulation.

The matrix appears identical to f35, a gray granular bricky soil but mixed with ash, presumably from f36 that is visible underneath in section.

Some areas are really soft while others are more compact, but with the same ashy texture. In general it looks like a very incoherent layer. C1 2008-08-10_S810LR2.j lR Yesterday we stopped excavating f22, leaving the area at the roughly the same elevation as A18 to the immediate south. Today we spent the morning cleaning k2 to define f98. More ash was noticed on the surface of f98, assuming it was f22 that partially covered f98, we began to remove 10 cm. The area then shifted from ashy to concentrated areas of burning with larger inclusions of charcoal, white ash, black stains, pottery, and tannur fragments bounded by f98 presumably bricks or bricky mass in the north. This new feature, f103 was photographed today and 5 cm removed.

The fill is very soft, gray in color, very similar to the ashy layer f24 that could be the same. Inside this soft ashy soil there are also some more compact pieces, probably part of broken mud bricks. We excavated just few centimeters inside the hole and not a big amount of pottery came out. The sherds inside the fill lie both vertical and horizontal. C1 2008-08-10_S810LR2.j lR Several holes are present on the western side of f52, interpreted as animal holes although it's strange to have so many on the surface and may be linked to a specific function associated with all the ash and bricky mass. The largest hole, fill f104 has one corner with brick faces suggestive of a possible door but the other side is rounded, appearing more like an animal hole than a doorway. The fill was partially excavated to see if more brick faces surfaced, these faces were found only in the southern end. C2 2008-08-10_S810LR2.j lR Continue to remove f52 in 10 cm increments, leaving the east section in place to aid in understanding the stratigraphy. We will begin by removing f82 first then approach towards f52 since f82 is softer and easier to remove.

In its northern part and in the eastern half it is built with medium sized (15x20 cm) and big sized (25x40 cm) stones. The eastern edge of the pavement forms a sharp straight line, with just a small semicircular lacuna in the middle, instead the southern edge is not really clear with the co presence of both big stones, small pebbles and numerous sherds. The western half is constructed of small pebbles (5-10 cm), and noteworthy is the gradual passage from the big sized stones in the eastern part to the small pebbles of the western one. The edge to the west has been uncovered only in a small part and it is formed by a regular line of pebbles. The northern portion is built with big stones, but the edge is marked by a line of small pebbles. Small pebbles are found also between the big stones to make the pavement more regular. In this pavement have been used different kinds of stone: basalt and limestone, but also reused broken pieces of grinding stones or mortars, and also a big kiln waste. The pavement has a surface almost flat and regular, sloping slightly toward west. In its south-eastern corner it is built with a different technique, forming a sort of circular platform with the biggest stones of the pavement and slightly higher in level, perhaps due to a secondary reconstruction. Can it be interpreted both as a roofed room or as open space (courtyard)?.

It is constituted of pottery sherds, mostly body sherds averaging 5-6 cm in size with some sherds until 10 cm. Between these sherds just few show a painted decoration with horizontal bands. Numerous also the pebbles, usually 1-3 cm in length, and bigger pieces of stone, between which some fragments of basalt grinding stone, reused secondarily in the pavement. Numerous also the bones, particularly a skull of a small animal and a horn. It is a well built pavement of type c. better than the pavement f35 that was above it. It seems to abut the mud brick wall f99. C1 2008-08-16_S816LR.j lR In k4, we removed several centimeters to come towards the bricks of f99, exposing the faces from the west. Immediately, pavement f112 was found, west of f99. This pavement is under f90, forming a much nicer and more compacted surface than f35 pavement that was found in the same area but 10 cm higher in elevation. Lots of animal bones are sitting on this pavement, including a horn, mandibles, several long bones, and a skull of a smaller animal, perhaps a dog. C1 2008-08-17_S818lR.j lR In k3, we photographed the pavement f112 this morning after consolidating the animal bones with diluted wood glue. We then removed the bones from the pavement to protect them from getting crushed. fAB made a good point yesterday about the animal skull sitting on the pavement. He noticed that the skull was not crushed, a strange thing if the skull was left sitting on a pavement for a long period of time. Another point is the presence of a horn tip, a valuable piece that is often reused thus rare to find complete. We then removed the rest of the eastern baulk between k3 and k4 to connect pavement f73 with f112, which are two different levels showing that f73 covers f112.

C1 2008-08-17_S817LC.j lC Today we continued to remove the baulk between our k101 and the old A19k99, looking for the continuation of the vertical mud brick wall f115. After removing f119, considered as a fill inside the structure, we found more vertical bricks just above the bricks already exposed, in the northern part of the baulk. Towards the west we didn't find more bricks and tomorrow we will continue to excavate f119. C1 2008-08-17_S818lR.j lR We continued to remove the east section which we are very close to the level of the walls f115 and f85. Vertical bricks were found in the southern end of the baulk, oriented east to west and look very similar to the bricks that f115 is constructed but at a higher elevation (one course higher). These are only 4 bricks with no more vertical bricks found in section. The section on the eastern face was scraped well today, showing faint lines of vertical faces as well in section. It is unclear if f115 forms the cross wall closing the structure to the east, f116, or if f109 wall closes the structure. f116 is constructed of horizontal bricks which would suggest that the cross wall would also be horizontal bricks. f109 are horizontal, so if this is the case then why is a wall made of vertical bricks immediately east of the outer wall. Perhaps f115 forms a bench.

The floor is below the bricky material of f52. This floor is made of hard compacted clay with numerous small inclusions of pottery. It is quite thick, about 5-7 cms, but could be more because it is not yet completely exposed in depth. So it seems to be an important floor, maybe the principal floor related to the wall f64 right north to it. Numerous sherds lay flat on top of this floor. C1 2008-08-14_S816LR.j lR A pavement, f117, was also found under f52 and f82 forming a thick highly compacted floor surface with pottery sherds underneath serving as leveling material for the floor. f117 does not extend north under f64, appearing localized under f52 and f82. This would suggest that f64 is earlier in construction. C1 2008-08-17_S817LC.j lC After the meeting in the field of this morning with gB and fAB we decided to go down to the floor f117 showed in the western edge of the f82 and f52. Because of the difficulty to find a good face for the bricks that are visible on top of the f82 and in its western edge, the best thing seemed to go down to the only sure thing, that is the floor. But looking for the pavement f117 we decide to try to find a good face of the bricks and after removing about 20 cms toward east we found a quite good face. So we decided to follow this face in depth until the pavement, but after about 20 cms we found an almost horizontal layer, very compact. It could be a sort of floor, and it seems that it has been exposed because just above it there are some traces of laminations. It could be in relation with the bricks uncovered today, if they form a wall, or with the bin, still to excavated, in the eastern part C1 2008-08-17_S818lR.j lR In k12, 5 cm was removed from f82, noticing several brick lines but not enough to define a wall. We then began to excavate the vertical section of f82, to see if good brick faces surfaced and to investigate if f117 curls up towards the bricks suggesting an outside floor surface or if the bricky mass sits on the floor. After following several good brick faces we resolved that f117 goes under the presumed bricks, finding a series of pavements at different elevations. This suggests that f52 and f82 were reused over multiple periods of time, laying down new pavements. It also suggests that the bricky mass is not technically a wall due to these multiple pavements underneath but that bricky material was periodically placed over the pavement during use. All 3 pavements are similar in type, color, and hardness labeled f123 and f124.

In the northern portion, next to the north section of k12, we cut the layer for some centimeters. In some points it is very soft, other points are more compact, moreover there are still lenses of ash, all because is an interface .It is also contains small pieces of charcoal and few burnt small pieces of clay.

A thick vertical line is also visible where the stones end which would then make f84 a discrete wall with stone foundations at its western edge and another wall, f127 built in the west that abuts f84. C1 2008-08-25_S825LC.j lC today we removed the accumulation f120, south of the mud brick wall f126, uncovering the floor f144. Tomorrow we will take photos of f144 and then we will excavate the floor trying to go down to the level of the stone pavement f108, to understand the link between it and the pavement f132. In the south of the locus we removed the vertical bricks f137 uncovering more oblique bricks belonging to the f138. We also continued to remove f119 in the southern part of k101 between f115 and f138. C1 2008-08-25_S825LC.j lC we uncovered the floor f144 below f120 and tomorrow we will take photos.

It appears the same of f124, just a little thicker (3-5 cm). It is sloping down sharply toward south, arriving until the south section of k12. It has a gray surface, very compact, with small inclusions (about 0.5-1cm) of pebbles and ceramic fragments. On top of it there is a thin layer of black ash. C1 2008-08-17_S818lR.j lR Found this pavement today while excavating the vertical section of f82 to the west to see if good brick faces surfaced and to investigate if f117 (the first pavement noticed) curls up towards the bricks suggesting an outside floor surface or if the bricky mass sits on the floor. After following several good brick faces we resolved that f117 goes under the presumed bricks, finding a series of pavements at different elevations. This suggests that f52 and f82 were reused over multiple periods of time, laying down new pavements. It also suggests that the bricky mass is not technically a wall due to these multiple pavements underneath but that bricky material was periodically placed over the pavement during use. All 3 pavements are similar in type, color, and hardness labeled f124 to the highest in elevation, followed by f123 that slopes at an angle, then f117 which was the first pavement noticed, the lowest and thickest.

It is constructed of gray and red mud bricks (10x35x35 cm). In its eastern face seems to be plastered with a thin layer of gray clay. It is preserved for about 120 cm in height and about 130 cm north to south, but we don't know its original length because probably it has been in part removed during the excavation of A19. Its width is not clear, but probably is around 70 cm, that is the measurement of two bricks side by side. The wall is only in part on top of the stone pavement f108 for which it should have been the western edge. On top of the wall there is a row of medium sized stones, probably pertinent to some other structure. C1 2008-08-18_S818lR.j lR In k101, another 15 cm was removed from the north section, finding a wall f126 running west to east. Wall f125 was further defined, this wall is located in the western edge of k101 running north to south, possibly the cross wall for f126. Wall f127 appears to abut f40 on the southern end; these are a series of horizontal bricks that go down several courses then ends approximately 15 cm then f126 wall emerges underneath. At first we assumed that wall f84 continued to run west, so that f127 and f84 were the same wall. This however is not the case. While removing f120, stones emerged, west of f85 wall. These stones continue to go down; at the moment are 3 stones deep but stop to the west. A thick vertical line is also visible where the stones end which would then make f84 a discrete wall with stone foundations at its western edge and another wall, f127 built in the west that abuts f84. C1 2008-08-19_S818lR.j lR While removing f127 and f40 from the south, more stones surfaces from wall f125. It is unclear if these stones continue north, if so then a2 was built over f125 wall.

It is preserved for about 200 cm east to west and 70 cm in height. The south face of this wall, the only one visible for us, was difficult to define. At the beginning we left many more bricks that in a second moment were revealed to be just broken collapsed bricks. So we defined the face following a clear line visible on the surface, and the soil was coming out following exactly this surface, but then in the vertical section we were not able to identify bricks, even if the material is clearly bricky clay. Perhaps it is due to the presence of some kind of plaster. The wall seems to be the north edge of the pavement f108 and just to abut the wall f125 and probably also the wall f84 with its stone foundation. C1 2008-08-18_S818lR.j lR In k101, another 15 cm was removed from the north section, finding a wall f126 running west to east. Wall f125 was further defined, this wall is located in the western edge of k101 running north to south, possibly the cross wall for f126. Wall f127 appears to abut f40 on the southern end; these are a series of horizontal bricks that go down several courses then ends approximately 15 cm then f126 wall emerges underneath. At first we assumed that wall f84 continued to run west, so that f127 and f84 was the same wall. This however is not the case. While removing f120, stones emerged, west of f85 wall.

This wall seems to be linked with the clay layer f150, surrounding the pavement f132, and abutting the wall itself. This wall is very low preserved, with three courses of horizontal bricks visible. The bricks are gray in color and are not easily recognized. It is preserved for about 180 cm east to west, and 15-30 cm in width. Below the lower course of gray bricks there is a layer of reddish fine clay that could be part of bricks but much softer. So it is not clear if it is part of the wall of something else, like a sort of preparation level for what above. C1 2008-08-18_S818lR.j lR Wall f127 appears to abut f40 on the southern end, these are a series of horizontal bricks that go down several courses then ends approximately 15 cm then f126 wall emerges underneath.

C1 2008-08-19_S818lR.j lR This morning the north section of k101 was drawn. This section is not the true north section of k101, it is actually our cut into k14 but shows nicely the wall f127 which we plan to remove today. After the section was drawn we then photographed the section, including overhead, oblique, and direct north views. The wall was removed in section, beginning in the eastern area working west, leaving a small section to see the horizontal bricks from two sides. We then proceeded to continue removing the bricks to west, then cleaned out the section and photographed it again. What was in view was bricky material sitting on a nice row of horizontal bricks then several centimeters below, a layer of reddish fine clay appearing similar in shape and size to bricks but much softer than brick.

It is a quite irregular plan sloping toward south, and initially we thought it was part of the pavement f80. Now it seems that the pavement f80 is set out on a very soft ash layer that is on top of this compact clay layer. To the north, just next to the pavement f80 it is built with numerous small pebbles and sherds (about 2-4 cm) embedded in the clay. Toward south is sloping down quite sharply, but its southern edge has not been excavated yet. The layer seems to be about 3-4 cm thick, just on top of a softer layer, constituted probably of ashy soil.

It is preserved for about 150 cm east to west and about 100 cm north to south including the southern bricks. The bricks are red and very badly preserved. The lowest course of brick is instead gray in color. The bricks measure about 35x35x10 cm.

The pavement is about 260 cm in length (E-W) and 140 cm in width (N-S). It is built with quite big stones of 20-30 cm in diameter. It is very similar to the pavement f 57 right to east of it, both for the size of the stones and for its irregular aspect. Moreover the walls forming a6 with the pavement f132 are orientated exactly like the walls of a1 so this could be contemporary both to the pavement f57 or to the secondary use of it. Between the stones of the pavement there are also small pebbles and sherds. C1 2008-08-23_S823LC.j lC Today we continued to remove the vertical bricks of the a2. The bricks in this part of the structure are badly preserved, damaged from numerous animal holes. Some bricks seem to be broken already in antiquity and it is a little bit more difficult to find their faces. Removing these vertical bricks, the cobblestone floor f132 continues to be uncovered.

Probably covers part of the pavement f134 and it is possible that below this clay layer the pavement f134 continues toward north, also because some pebbles are visible under the clay of f135.

In this installation are clearly visible two stone alignments, one north-south of about 160 cm in length, and one east-west of about 70 cm. These alignments form two external faces, one to the west and one to the north. In the internal part there are a series of scattered irregular medium sized stones. Toward west, outside the stone face, there is a cluster of bigger stones. It doesn't seem a pavement, probably it has had a function of some kind, perhaps as a very low bench or as working area.

It is preserved for about 100 cm south to north and 180 cm east to west. On top of some stones in its western edge there is also a big stone of about 70 cm in length. At the beginning we thought it was a stone pavement, i.e. the continuation of the pavement f93 in k14. But then, because of its irregularity and the substantial difference from the pavement f93 has been labeled as stone installation. Toward east the feature presents a cluster of 7 medium sized stones, very well built together, also with a door socket that could be in situ or reused in a secondary context. It is also possible that these more eastern stones belonging to the pavement f93. C1 2008-08-23_S823LC.j lC Almost at the end of the day we uncovered in k13 a series of stones labeled as f141. At the beginning I thought it could be the continuation of the stone pavement f93 of k14 to the west in k13. But after a better analysis the stone installation f141, it is evident that this pavement differs in size and construction from pavement f93. The stones are bigger and, to be a pavement, it is very irregular and the stones don't create a flat surface. We have labeled this feature a stone installation rather than a pavement due to its irregularity. Moreover the big stone, already uncovered some days ago appears to sit on other stones. It could be a tomb. Very similar tombs were discovered in the Khabur level in area C2 from the German excavation utilizing several large elongated stones for a cover with smaller stones set between forming a cist type tomb. C3 2008-08-23_S823LC.j lr These stone appear too irregular to form a pavement and contrasts sharply with the cobblestone pavements found in A20. One elongated stone overlays more stones that are partly visible in the small cracks between the stones. The shape almost appears to form a cist type tomb with elongated stones used as a cover however this is all speculative as we only have one human tooth from a1 and portions of a skull in k101 and this season we don't have time to investigate this possibility. These stones may also form a drain or other type of installation.

C1 2008-08-23_S823LC.j lR This floor appears lined or plastered and was first noticed while scraping the section where thin multiple layers of white material flaked off in section. The floor surface appears to be a living floor or a floor that was used inside the structure a5. Given it's height in elevation with another floor surface and stones below (approx 25 cm) and the continuation of the bricks from wall f116, this floor likely belongs to a reuse of this structure at a later phase when the floor was raised.

It seems rather a quite irregular and non homogeneous structure. Between these new stones there is also a door socket, perhaps in situ, linked to a doorway, or in a secondary use inside the pavement. Then we remove part of f30 still covering the wall f41, looking for more bricks.

This layer is slightly sloping toward the center of the room.

The clay layer is clearly abutting the west wall f92, the southern f127 and the eastern f152, but only partially the north row of vertical bricks. Between the stones of the pavement f132 there is a sort of mortar made of clay really similar to f150, but that could be put at the same time of the stones. It is also probable that there was a repair in a second moment because in the west part of the room, next to the wall, the clay covers the stones, and in the north part this layer is less compact and constituted of a more reddish soil, similar to the baqaia. This clay layer is also present in the passage between the walls f86 and 152, perhaps a doorway.

Neither the relationship of the wall f154 with the wall f63 is clear, because between them there is a gap, fill with softer soil, so we don't have a physical contact. Moreover for a room like a6 we should expect a wider wall, even if also the wall f92 is quite narrow, and they could belong to a secondary reuse of the room. This wall doesn't have a link with the wall 86 from which is separated by a gap, and it doesn't start in line with the last vertical brick of the wall f86, next to the doorway, but about 20 cm to the north.
