-dy today we removed f64 in k74, f82 and f97 in k75 and the upper part of the West baulk of k85: f94 and f98. After breakfast dH and eA stayed at home doing object description. We took several views (v48) to show the removing of the west baulk of k85 from J2: this will show the sequence of the removing of the baulk and showing at the end the discovery of the glacis f63 and of the possible wall f130

dy Today we begin to remove the western baulk: the topmost feature is f94, which is an accumulation full of pottery and pebbles and some stones, same as f37; after removing it we changed feature in f98, which is the brickmelt f70: it is harder and compact. Today we had a camera taking views every 50 cm of the removing of the baulk. This will allow us to see the sequence of the removing and the discovery of the glacis f63 and the wall f130. We also removed part of f90, which is an ashy accumulation under the brickfall. We started to remove it because we thougt that was a lens inside the brickfall, but the East section of k200 shows clearly the relationship between the brickfall and f90, which overlays it

dy Today we removed f64, which is still brickmelt: it is red brown in color, due to the presence of the bricks, and is full of pottery, which dates to Mittani (mKB). It has some stones and some pieces of tannur. We checked better in section the pit cut f92 and it is clear that it cuts the brickmelt f64: probably first there was the brickfall, then the upper part of it melted and was excavated the pit in the brickfall, then some brick fall into the pit.

dy Today i looked well in the East section and i saw a clear layer of ash under the brickmelt f82. therefore i decided to excavate with the small pick and to find where are the limits of the ash: it covers half of the square and it abuts f82. It is soft in consistence and dark black-brown in color. There were fragments of faience beads. We collected a carbon sample q164.3
