We start by removing few cm close to the S baulk of k83, where on thuesday, a plastic fragment was noticed in a little area which was 5cm higher in elevation respect the square (50cm N and 40cm W to the NE corner of N baulk). Once we reached the same elevation of the square, we start digging f78 (q237) in front of the line of large stones exposed in the square last week (i.e 100m N and 400m W to the NE corner of N baulk). f78 is as noticed before, characterized by very compact layer, light grey in colour, soft once removed. By digging in this small portion of the square, we started exposing three different surface, approximately every 5cm, all flat and characterized by a compact surface, that once removed it is soft in consistence. These surfaces are characterized by the presence of pottery sherds and little pebbles (<4cm in diameter). At the elevation of m4408 +116 -138 in the S area of the square, close to the S baulk, we noticed a change in the surface: a small area characterized by a very fine texture and which is dark brown in colour. This is the same of f79 in k84. Two stones have been partially exposed, one close to the S baulk of the square. Tomorrow we will continue to dig in k83. We want to investigate whether other stones are located here. [Input: Q909SC.j] |

Today we continued digging in the S portion of k83 (i.e. 70m N and 360m E to m4409). Yesterday, at the end of the day we expose a very compact surface, fine in texture and dark brown in colour. Today we assigned a new feature number to this accumulation, f119, and start digging it (q246). Few pottery sherds have been collected, and, among these, some Habur sherds. f119 is the same of f118 in the N area of k84. At the bottom elevation of q246 a ash layer has been noticed in the NW corner of the excavated square. [Input: Q910SC.j] |

Unlucky there are no photos showing k83 before we start digging in this locus in the 2006 excavation season. J2t61 shows the mentioned square at the end of the 2004 excavation season, showing the different elevations that characterize this locus. [Input: U315SC.j] |
