-wk All assigned workmen reported.  Ghandi and Ramadan worked in house for Muhammad Omo.  Legzine sent to replace Ramadan.  Mahmud worked in house for part of the day.

-sn  aA and iI drew the north section of k31 with a string elevation of 9205.

-sf  jW worked at home for part of the morning preparing the Global Record.  bL worked at home part of the time after breakfast entering data.

dy We removed north baulk to the exavated level of accumulation f147 in k23.  We measured the elevations of the floor, f170, and the top and bottom of the tannur in the locus adjacent to the east, k12.  The floor was at elevation 9200, the tannur top at 9268, and the bottom at 9213.  This establishes a tentative stratigraphic equality between the two.  Because the floor was not recognized when the locus directly to the south, k108, was being excavated. we cannot establish a more definite link.

dy We began to carefully excavate accumulation, f151, in k23 from north to south to find the north limit of floor surface, f173, found in the north part of k22.  We found that what we first identified as a thin ashy lens in the north half of the locus, f150, was actually a layer of ashy accumulation covering most of the locus to a depth of 10cm or more.  It was under accumulation, f151, and above the the temple mound surface packing, f152.  With regards to the relationship between the baqaya packing in k13, f109; in k12, f50; and the packing in k23, f152; relative elevations indicate that f152 in k23 is 16cm lower than f109 in k13.  Furthermore, although k109 is packed baqaya, k152 is packed mud.  We will carefully remove the east bulk to establish the precise relationship between k107 and k152.
