-dy Today we finished to remove the west baulk of k85 f98, which is brickfall and we continued to take views from West. In k74 we changed feature from f64, the brickmelt to f103 the brickfall. Under the brickfall there is a hard surface sloping South. In k75 we removed all the brickfall f93 and we expose everywhere the ash f97. We decided also to open a new square to the South k86, which is a very narrow square, only 1m wide: it will allow to open the view to the south of the wall f130, and also to remove the East section of k200, which is too high and dangerous.

k 85
dy Today we finished to remove the west baulk f98, which is the brickfall same as f86. We found i3, which is a small arryballos probably to keep some kind of oil or parfums. dM took 2 views of the removing of the baulk v48.

k 86 
dy Today we begin to excavate in k86, which is a narrow locus, being to the East of k200. It is 1m wide and 4m long. Removing this part of earth will allow to have a better view from the South of the wall f130 and the staircase and also to remove the dangerous high section of k200. The top soil is f104 and the accumulation under topsoil is f105

k 74
dy today we removed all f64, which is still brickmelt. It covers f103, which instead is brickfall, characterized by lot of broken bricks and by a brown reddish color. There are 5 stones f106 sitting in it. We found also a large piece of kilin waste q173.1 from one spot.

k 75
dy Today we exposed all the ash f97, which is located under the brickfall f93. It is a soft powderly soil full of ash and some carbons. There are few sherds. It seems that it slopes toward West and possibly is the same ash as f90 in k85, being both located under the brickfall. 

-sg We are getting closer to remove all the brickfall in k85, k75 and k74: in k85, under the brickfall, there is a thick layer of ash, which is also present in k75 under the brickfall but at an higher elevation (ca 50 cm higher): this could mean that there is a slope towards West, following the slope of the glacis f63, which is located under the brickfall and the ash. In k74, under the brickfall there is a hard surface sloping towards South, probably a later glacis. Probably first was bilt the glacis f63 which covers the wall f130 and slopes toward South-west and is dated to the beginning of the second millennium. The glacis was built in the same time as the memory stones f127, located above the wall f129 and f130; something burned to the South and left the ashy layer f90 and f97. Then we have a large brickfall which comes from the East and covered the ash and the glacis. This happened at the end of Mittani and the structures are dated to Mittani (a large amount of pottery was found in the brickfall). The strategy for the next week is to find the glacis in k85, k75, k74 and then leave the glacis in k74 and k75, but go down in k85 and k84 and expose f130: f130 continues at least for 1 m to the East, but then we still do not know whatever makes a turn or stops.
