-wk Nine assigned workmen reported.  Faji injured his shoulder while shoveling and was sent home for treatment by jW after consultation with Muhammad Omo and the pharmacist, Kamiron.

-sf eA worked at home on the UGR before breakfast.  jW worked on the UGR at home after breakfast.

-sy aAJ took 50 additional relays of the important stonework in the unit.

-dy In k105 we removed the pedestal of accumulation, f289, under the <a href="../MZ/TEXTS/terms/techtrms.htm">shaffat</a>shaffat.  We learned little new about the deposition process beneath the f3 Mittani revetment wall in the process. 
  
f 286
dy ACTION: We finished excavating the exploratory trench, f286.<br>RESULT: We found that the stones of installation, f194, are bonded with the stones of the top four steps of installations, f205 and f257.  The lowest set of stones, f266, appear associated with the line of stones, f276, and appear to form an escarpment above accumulations above the stones of ^esc1.  Their relationsip with f205, f257, and f194 will have to be determined in a future excavation season.
  
f 265
dy ACTION: We finished removing wall, f255, its foundation, f277, and the soil beneath down to the level of the stones of ^esc1, f265, and the pebble floor abutting it to the west, f288.<br>RESULT: It is clear that all of the large, cut stones that we exposed belong to f265 and that there is no pavement of these large stone extending to the west in the north corner of k105.

f 287
dy ACTION: We excavated the remaining floor accumulation, f282, covering the pebble pavement, f287, which abuts the first escarpment, ^esc1, to the west.<br>RESULT: There is some erosion in the pavement's southeastern corner, probably caused by water flow along the southwestern most row of escarpment stones.  Sherds from the pavement and from the floor accumulaion above have been idenmtified by mKB as Late Ninevite V.

f 284
dy ACTION: We finished excavating the accumulation, f287, between the northenmost stones of ^esc1, f188, and the top of an earlier wall, f284, which formed the foundation for the revetment wall, f189.<br>RESULT: We were hoping to find enough ceramics to help date the time of construction of f284, but there were fewer than 20 sherds after two days of excavation in that restricted space (about 20cm), almost all of which were body sherds.  The most mKB could say was that they were earlier than the revetment wall, f189, which was built during the Early Dynastic period.  Because we dug down as much as 20cm we could tell that the stones of f284 were large and dressed.  They formed a smooth face on the top and on the south side.
