k 100
dy Today was the last day of excavation for this season. We continued digging f158. After one pick run, at the elevation of m4502 +76 -171, we found a very compact and hard surface, sloping S. We decided to expose it all and to give a new feature number (f160). f160 is very compact and has a platy structure. After a pick run f160 is characterized by the presence of melted bricks, small fragments of chalcite, broken stones (10cm) and phytolits, and seems that has been 'exposed' for a long period to water. A patch of ash (aprox. 50cm in diameter) was very marked (located aprox. at 20cm W from the E baulk of k100). After a brief meeting in the field with gB and J04 staff, we decided to dig a small sounding, reducing the area of excavation in k100 to 100cmx100cm (which has been relayed from r89), in order to reach the goal for this season, i.e., find the steps of the primary Apron here (or, eventually, discover that they are not located here as we where thinking) given that we are, within k100 (in the portion of the locus where f158 has been exposed) almost at the same elevation as the 3rd step of the so called 'moumental staircase' J02f130. We did dug for aprox. 50cm (f160), without exposing any stone. Thus, we decided to do some soundings with a metal stick (long aprox. 50cm) in order to chech if there is any stone within f160, but no stones have been intercepted: this thus indicates that the Apron does not continue in J04 area, and that wall f128 and f129 are the boudary to the east of the Apron. v98 shows that the Apron, as it has been found in J02 unit, does not continue in k71 (we reach in the NW corner of locus k100 the same elevation as the 3rd step of staircase J02f130). We stop digging in this locus, with the aim of re-thinking about the organization of the area east to the 'moumental staircase' J02f130 and wall J02f129, since, the idea that Apron could have had a specular structure, as we suppose at the beginning of this excavation season, turned out to be incorrect.

; U306 there was a mistake and eas written: Today was the last day of excavation for this season. We continued digging f150. 
; I changed f150 into f158 since it is this feature that we were removing
