k 71
nl The unexcavated portion of the locus is 58cm W from m4254 and 300m N from m4254 (r1).

k 100
nr v90 shows that the Apron as it has been found in J02 area does not continue in k71 (we reach in the NW corner of locus k100 the same elevation as the 3rd step of staircase f130 in J02). We did some soundings with a metal stick long aprox. 50cm in order to chech if there was any stone within f160, but no stones have been intercepted; therefore, the Apron does not continue east to wall J02f129 and thus in J04 unit, and we may thus now think that walls J02f128 and J02f129 are the boundary, on the east, of the Apron.

v 90
ds This view shows k100 after we finish digging in this locus. We did a sounding in order to check whether the Apron continues also in this portion of the Tell mound, since, in the NW corner of k100, we reached the same elevation as the 3rd step of staircase J02f130 as exposed in J02 unit. The sounding consisted in inserting a long metal stick (aprox. 50cm in depth) into f160 in order to chech whether there was a stone below (we checked every 10cm for the whole lenght of f160), but no stones have been intercepted therefore, it was clear that the Apron does not continue in J04 area, and that wall f128 and f129 can ben considered to be 'the boudary' to the est of the Apron.

f 127
ds This is a very hard and compact layer that slopes sharply toward east and slightly toward south. We recognise this feature to be the glacis layer (i.e., a coating hard surface done with mud mixed to small calcite inclusions and small sherds) that it has been already exposed in J03 area in the previous days. In the south portion of the locus (toward walls f161, f162) f127 is slightly eroded, and there a sherd floor (f154) has been exposed. The glacis layer is very hard and compact; the very topmost surface flakes off after exposition, although it is very compact, and comes apart in chunks; sometimes, the top surface flakes off just by walking on top of it.
co light brown with some dark reddish inclusions
; NB f127 SLOPES OF THE LOCUS FROM THE n TO THE s PORTION!!!!!!
nr f127, as already said, slopes sharply toward the East portion of the locus. The glacis layer follows as well the slope of the tell surface, which, in this locus presents a discrete difference in elevation between the top elevation in the north portion of the locus and the top elevation in the south portion of the locus (there are approximately 20cm of difference between the top elevation in the north respect to the top elevation in the south portion of the locus). The elevation of f127 given as main, has been taken in the north portion of the locus.

f 77
ds f77 is a very hard and compact layer sloping toward the south portion of the locus. The feature is not well preserved in the whole locus (in the top part comes apart in chunks). It is light brown in colour with some dark reddish inclusions, which are visible throughout the whole (top) surface. We recognise this feature to be a glacis layer (i.e., a coating hard surface done with mud mixed to small calcite inclusions and, sometimes, small sherds, which usually, lying flat) as it has been already exposed in J03 unit. In some small areas of k82, f77 is badly preserved, in particular where f77 abuts some isolated limestones located in the N and W portion of the locus and where it abuts wall J02 f129; we have noticed that some Baqaya is underneath the glacis layer (below some of the isolated limestones, as visible in v53).

k 61
dy Today we assigned a new feature number to the natural accumulation in k61, f45, and start digging it in this locus (q94, q96, q97, q98). f45, which is spread uniformily in all the unit, is very compact in consistence: once picked, it has a platy structure and, once removed, it is crumble and loose in texture. It is greyish in color and rich in pottey sherds. I move more workmen in this unit and at the end of the day we reach the bottom of the German trench dug in 20001 (N and E to [?]) and thus finishing digging in k61. We stop digging in this locus at the elevation of m3817 +45 -150.
