Introduction

Typically, two baulks are drawn for each locus that is a square. In J5, we generally drew the north and east baulks unless special conditions dictated another arrangement. The baulks are drawn prior to removal. Squares were excavated in the first season, 2008 and all but one drawing was made then. Since the baulks were drawn before they were removed they documented only 4 of the 5 meter span. There is one template that documents the continuous span of three loci. Loci in 2009 were tailored to follow the Mittani and EDIII wall systems. Templates rather than formal drawings were used to document portions of the north, south and west baulks of k105 and the west baulk of k106.
