v 1a
ds This photo shows the position of loci k71, k72, k73 before the beginning of the excavation in these squares; it is similar to v1 but the general view is slightly wider. Looking N.

v 2
ds Overhead view of k72 and k71 before the cleaning and the beginning of the excavation in this square. As cleary visinle, k71 is partially already exacavated since it was investigated in the 2001 excavation season by a team of the university of Tubingen, directed by Prof. Peter Pfalzner (the missing portion of the square falled within the German trench T14). The photo shows the small portion of k71 left to our investigation, in the SE corner of the square; the extension of the unexcavated area to the W is given by r1. We assigne f1 to the topsoil in that corner, while f2 to the topsoil in k72. Looking N.

v 13
ds This view is intended to show primarily the N section of k82 together with the W portion of k92; in the photo is visible as well the south portion of k83. The photo has been taken after a general cleaning of these loci. The purpose of the view is to show these loci before we start digging in these loci. k92,k82 and k83 have been already investigated by mH in the 2004 excavation season as J02 loci, and k83 is partially interested by a W-E running trench, which was dug by a German team of the university of Tubingen, directed by Prof. Peter Pfalzner, during the investigations of the tell mound (T10 is partially visible in the lower portion of the photo, where k83 is visible a small portion of the German trench, T10). It is visible as well T15, the trench dug within k81, N to k82. The photo shows as well various floating limestones in k82 and the surface where they sit (f51). Among these, there is f73 (a floating stone) and f74 (the pedestal of f73); this stone, as showed by J02v61 taken by mH in 2004, was still on top of its pedestal. v13 shows as well the N section of k82 and the small preserved portion of the N section of k92 (which was cut by a N-S German trench dug in 2001). Tide photos of the N section of k82 is given by v19 and related subviews.
