k 33
dy We continued excavating the eastern half including the eastern baulk of this locus, so we removed the rest of the compact natural accumulation of f124.  Below the last mentioned accumulation there was another compact layer, f127, which formed by a lamination full of nodules, Mittani style pottery sherds, animal bones, and teeth for different kinds of animals (probably donkey and rodent..).  The lamination of f127 covers a layer of natural accumulation, f128, which appears in the western section of k23.  It also abuts the stones of f126 in the eastern baulk.  In the northern part of the baulk we found traces of new stones in the same line as the stones of f126.

dy We continued excavating the soft natural accumulation, f129, which is overlayed by a group of big limestones, f130, in the southwestern part of it.  Among the collected pottery from the accumulation of f129, q185, we found a Middle Assyrian style base, which is relatively thick with a string cut, flat bottom.  In the middle of the southern edge of the last mentioned accumulation, f129, we noticed an ashy soft spot coverd a big stone.  At least five big limestones are scattered among the soil of f129, but we didn`t label them as a new feature because we don`t know the extent of them.

k 4
dy We continued ramoving the soft chunky topsoil, f118.  Under the topsoil there was a soft powdery natural accumulation, f131.  We excavated part of the last mentioned accumulation without finding any stone installations.  The collected pottery was mixed( ED, Khabur, Mittani..).  Also we found a part of Islamic style bracelet.  There are few  plant roots in this feature.

f 127
ds Compact lamination, in the eastern half including the eastern baulk of k33.  The pickman noticed that it`s softer than the previous natural accumulation, f124.  It was formed by grains, nodules, sand and pebbles.  It`s full of Mittani style pottery sherds.  Also we found some animal teeth and bones for different kinds of animals (prbably donkey and rodent..).  This feature lay below the compact natural accumulation of f124, while it covers a layer of natural accumulation, f128, which appears in the western section of k23.  It also abuts the stones of f126 in the eastern baulk of k33.     

f 128
ds Compact laminar natural accumulation, which appears in the western section of k23.  It`s covered by the compact laminations of f127, in the eastern half including the eastern baulk of k33.  It rests on the laminar accumulation, f135.

f 129
ds Soft natural accumulation in k13, overlayed by a group of big limestones, f130, in the southwestern part.  Among the collected pottery from this accumulation, q185, we found a Middle Assyrian style base, which is relatively thick with a string cut, flat bottom.  In the middle of the southern edge of this feature, f129, we noticed an ashy soft spot covering a big limestone.  At least five big limestones scattered among the soil of this layer, but we will not label them as a new feature untill we recognize their extent.

f 130
ds A cluster of limestones overlaying the southwestern part of the soft natural accumulation, f129, in k13.  The cluster sits below the removed stone feature, f120.  It comprises of five big limestones and small co-located stones( between 12-23 cm length) among the big stones.

f 131
ds Soft powdery natural accumulation under the topsoil, f118, in k4.  We excavated part of this accumulation without finding any stone installations.  The collected pottery from this feature was mixed( ED, Khabur, Mittani..).  Also we found a part of Islamic style bracelet.  There are few plant roots in this feature.
