Reddish layer at the bottom of the trench in k2. This material is the same kind of packing that characterizes all structures dating to the 3rd millennium BCE. It's called "bakkaya" and we have found it also in connection with the temple and the palace. It was carried here intentionally and used as filling. Presence of white material which at a first sight seems plaster but it's actually organic material. The top elevation is m3647 + 46 - 141; the bottom is m3687 + 20 - 164. As we reached this level we stopped the excavation of the unit.

Recovery/Assignment and the Record

Argument	2008-3-6	pC	possibly this bricky material belongs to the melting of a mudbrick structure, like a platform. pC is of the opinion that it is the melting of the mudbrickterrace, which was excavated from the german team and was exposed in this place. Due to its long exposure, it melted.
lack of information	2010-8-9	yM	hardness was not recorded
