Introduction
A total of 15 loci were excavated in one seasons (2006). Three of these loci were placed in the location of previously excavated trenches dug by the German team of Tübingen University. k71 covering a portion of T14, k81 covering a portion of T15 and k72 covering a portion of T10.

Loci of MZ19 excavation season
Out of the 18 loci that constitute unit J4, 13 loci were excavated during the season of 2006, K61, K62, K63, K64, K70, K71, K72, K73, K74, K80, K81, K82, K83, K84, K100. The remaining 4 loci, K60, K92, K93, K94, were not excavated.
The loci were laid followed the natural sloap of the Tell and were positioned in an orderly sequence north- south.
The scketch represents only 12 loci out of the 18, because the plan was laid initially to excavated these loci, while the others were added later on, and where only illustrated by hand drawings on the daily scketch.

Special Locus K100
This locus was intorduced in order to investigate the continuation of the J2 apron in J4. To achieve that, the southern part of k83 and the northern part of k84, were excavated as k100. And while this excavation revealed that the apron does not continue in J4, it also revealed an intersting depositional situation of 3rd millennium material right below Mittani deposits.
It is important to mention that the excavations of K100 reached the deepest level excavated in J4.
