removed a large pile of stones and soil contained in a two meter square area in the NE corner of the locus, f242. It contained a large quantity of pottery and a door socket, i116. Towards the end of the day we found bricks, f244, several courses high in the far SE corner of the locus in the E baulk. [Input: L701JLW.j] |

jlw inspected the bricks in the SE corner of the east baulk, f244, before work began. Although they are organized vertically, there are pockets of accumulation that cut into the north side. There is no evidence of the bricks in the south baulk. The accumlation in the entire locus, f237, is the same throughout, alternating soft and firmer patches. We have often seen this in portions of A9 already excavated to the south and west and have attributed them to a combination of material brought down from higher elevations by water and mixed with loess carried in by wind. At the end of the day, a substantial patch of brickwork was discovered in the SE corner. We will inspect it carefully in the morning. [Input: L702JLW.j] |

we uncovered about a 2 meter square patch of bricks, f255, in the SE corner of the locus. Continued excavation throughout the day helped to clarify its extent but no more architecture was revealed. [Input: L703JLW.j] |

jlw |
carefully excavated about 20 cm of accumulation from around brickwork, f255. Anwar and Mizer found a line of bricks, f263, extending west from the NW corner of f255. [Input: L704JLW.j] |

Anwar and Mizar finished all but about an hour's worth of excavation, which focused on the NE corner of the locus. Work proceeded slowly because there were tantilizing hints of organized brickwork that proved to be rubble. The line of bricks, f263, shows several courses on the south face. However they do not extend even one brick-width to the north. [Input: L705JLW.j] |

Mizar finished cleaning. One well preserved upper third of a jar, i128, and two bones that may be human, q735, were found. [Input: L707JLW1.j] |

2001-07-01 |
jlw |
now that the locus is leveled, we will begin to excavate uniformly to look for evidence of walls, which from the architecture in A11 immediately to the south, we should soon begin to find. [Input: L701JLW.j] |
| 2001-07-02 |
jlw |
we will continue to dig down uniformly in the locus until we encounter architecture, which should appear before the day is done, base upon the results in surrounding loci. We will use large picks and clean and inspect after each pick run. [Input: L702JLW.j] |
| 2001-07-03 |
jlw |
we will inspect the brickwork exposed at the end of the day on L702 to determine its extent and evaluate the possibilites of finding more evidene of structures before moving up the tell to the east. [Input: L703JLW.j] |
| 2001-07-04 |
jlw |
continue to dig in the northern half and the SW quarter of the locus to expose more architecture. [Input: L704JLW.j] |

jlw |
smooth out excavated area in preparation for moving to new locus. [Input: L705JLW.j] |
