Description (summary) 2008-08-10 lH Soft natural accumulation in k13, overlayed by a group of big limestones, f130, in the southwestern part. Among the collected pottery from this accumulation, q185, we found a Middle Assyrian style base, which is relatively thick with a string cut, flat bottom. In the middle of the southern edge of this feature, f129, we noticed an ashy soft spot covering a big limestone. At least five big limestones scattered among the soil of this layer, but we will not label them as a new feature untill we recognize their extent. [Input: S810LH.j]
