we started working in k100 first by removing part of f26 to level the floor. f26 covers all the square except f23,f24,f25. f26 is a soft soil with chunks and some thick plant roots. Then we started digging f25 to level it with f26 and f24. f25 abuts wall f24; it is a dark brown soft soil with a lot of sherds. Then we started following the wall from its corner northward. we dug 1 meter by 1 meter squares above the wall surface; after we expose the wall we clean it to be phtographed and measured.

Last Friday we had a stratigraphical review to the site with gB: he explained about a wall located in area C2 Stratum 16 (Schicht 16-German excavation area). This area will be incorporated to J6; probably this structure is related to J6 area and temple terrace. gB pointed out that the structure may be is related to wall f129 in J6: we decided to rediscover this wall which is f24. We want to show the relation between this wall (f24) and f129 because both of them date back to EDIII and are made in the same kind of stonework and similar type of construction. We want also to see if the wall continues towards North and if it is possible to see the relationship between the wall (f24) and the temple terrace. [Input: S720CJC.j] |

all the soil removed in k100 was backfill, except for a small part above wall f27: we found palstic bags of the german excavation and mixed pottery; we found also some seal impressions, but this can be explained by the presence of a dump in this area and found by the german team. Looking at the fotos of the german excavation we can assume that they excavated deeper the us, expecially south of wall f24. f27, instead was excavated partly by the german team and this year we uncovered probably all the wall. We will excavate it completly next year, being this area very delicate, both for statigraphy and presence of lot of seal impressions. [Input: SZ31.j] |

k100 was not defined by markers, therefore there is no plot for this locus and we do not have the measurements. This was done in purpose, because we did not want to excavate and draw sections, but only to clean it. The dimensions of the locus are approximately long as the wall f24 and f27. [Input: SZ31.j] |
