p 63
ds Plot showing the excavation area as arranged on 20th August of 2008. On the left is visible the narrow and long trench and then k126 and k127. Many markers are indicated on the plot. Important are the absolute elevetions recorded in the different corner, to compare the J1 excavation to the general stratigraphy.

p 64
ds Plot showing the location of the loci excavated during MZ22. k127 was excavated from prevoius season but a deeper level was reached. The other four were open for specific reasons: k129 to enlarge the excavation ot the West; k130 to check the deepness and the stratigraphy of a8; k131 to see the interior face of a8 and the accumulation behind it; k132 to make safe the section on top of Revetment Wall.

p 65
ds Plot showing the extension of the preserved Early Escarpment f196. On the right it was cut both in antiquity and from us for excavation strategy. To the South the escarpment was eroded by water flowing from West. The three stones f307 are interpreted by us as a kind of water barrier.

p 66
ds Plot showing the extent of Secon Escarpment (f239-f272) built to protect the base of the wall from water seepage, after the early escarpment was highly damaged.

p 67
ds Plot showing stone structure a8 constituted of two bonded walls (f259, f288). It was found at the base of the Revetment wall and it seems to date back to Ninevite 5 or even Late Chalcolithic period. The collapse f336 is probably coming from these two walls, but in a later (EDIII) moment.

p 68
ds Plot showing the stone structure a8 and the Ninevite 5 pavement f268. Probably they belong to the same phase, the use of the structure, but the spatial relationship was removed by the later EDIII cut, made to build the Second Escarpment.

p 69
ds Plot showing the stones of f328 (one in section and so not relayed) interpreted as a barrier against water coming from West.

p 70
ds Plot showing the curtain wall a7. It runs almost parallel to the Revetment wall, but going to the west it gets closer to it and less compact with fewer stones. It was probably protecting the base of the Revetment wall both from water and from people walking too close.
