the step trench excagations in season MZ6 investigated the time periods that the tell was occupied. As we cleaned and re-aligned the trench in this area (now k10 and k11) it became obvious that there were at least four distinct occupation levels represented. The main view looks north, up the slope in which the various levels have been exposed. v60a focuses on the earliest level, probably early second millennium. It shows a living surface, (wall, floor and tannur). The next phase built over this level, which is best illustrated by the retaining wall, f243, that incorporated the tannur in its foundation. v60b shows the next levels of occupation. Wall, f228, and its associated floors was probably built late in Phase 4 on the level area behind f243. Also in the foreground and on the right side are two pise wall features associated with the early part of Phase 5, Khabur. v60c shows how the early Phase 5 pise foundation/wall cut the earlier wall from late Phase 4. v60d is a foot-level picture of a pit, a29 into which the northern part of wall f225 was dug. v60e shows the same scene from eye level.
