The secction is complete; vertically, from topsoil to the end of the season bottom line; horizontally, 12 meters of baulk, taking also the area of the North baulks of both loci. From top to bottom, after the topsoil f104, we have a deep accumulation of soft brown, quite sterile and clean (f117), that stops at an uneven line, broken by numerous rodent holes, that separates f117 from the big brickfall f124. Just between meters 9 and 11 that line is very flat, as if it was flatened on purpose for some reason (pit bottom?). Under this the brick fall is quite identifiable in k86 but not so much in k87, where we have a line of pebbles and sherds in the middle of this layer, that brach off in two, with no definite end. In k87 the accumulation above this pebble lines is called f131, and f143 the one below. In k87 now we have a layer of laid down mud bricks, falling on line, that were of a different consistence than the others, more flacky and dark brown. This line of bricks becomes a fine layer of light grey soil in the southern half of the k87 section. Below, in k87 we have a more reddish brown compact layer that sits in the lower greyish layer. This last layer, at the bottom of both loci, is specially full of dark ashes lenses North of k86 and South of k87. In the middle, we have just a light grey layer. 27 e gk74 gf59,64,97,82 The drawing shows the Eastern section of locus k74, being the upper part already drawn in another section, and the lower line as left at the end of the 2008 season. From top to bottom, we have a deep accumulation of soft brown, quite sterile and clean (f59ab) that stops at an uneven line, broken by numerous rodent holes, that separates f59 from the big brickfall f64. At the northern end of the section the brickfall is not so clear as we have the mark of pit f87 (f92 the cut). In the rest of the locus under the brickfall we have a fine line that could be identified as the ^glacis 1, a bricky red layer, almost at the bottom. In the middle of the locus, between the brickfall and this fine layer it seems to be an accumulation of very hard compact, bricky material. .ri pc .rd S911 100 w gk85 gf158,154,148,110,86,90,75,70,37,33,35,12,8,3,4,2 This section shows all the North baulk of k85 excavated in season 2008: the first layers are natural accumulations which are even and all similar in deposition(f2,f4,f8,f12): probably this area was abandoned. At the elevation of f33, f35 and f37 there is a radical change in the stratigraphy, where we have a dump f37 with lot of material and directly under it we have the beginning of the brickfall: f70 is brickmelt and then brickfall f75 were pieces of bricks are visible. The brickfall at the end is mixed with an ashy layer f90 and then stops on top of the glacis f110. Here we have another change in the stratigraphy: under the glacis are natural accumulations interrupted by some ash layers and floors f154: the layers are even. 101 n gk85 gf158,154,148/110,86,75,70,37,12,3,4,2 The drawing of the North section of k8n%?is only 3m wide).

With f154 begins the Late Akkadian period (h33-MZA): we do not have all the intermediate phases from 2200 untill 1600 BC, still puzzling in the stratigraphic sequence. f164 is the h33-MZA glacis which was damaged probably already at the end of the third millennium. 107 w gk84 gf1,32,41,46,52,53,55,63,140,122,142,151,164 The West section of k84: k84 is a small locus, while was the southern part not excavated from J4 (season 2004):#f1 is the topsoil, f32 was the first feature excavated from j6 and treated as a topsoil. f41 was interpreted as a brickfall, even if there are no bricks showing in section. f46 is a floor and under it the big brickfall begins and stops after 1 meter on top of the glacis f63. f63 slopes toward South and under it there are layers sloping South. f140 is a floor, f142 the western end of a larger shallow pit filled with ash and f151 a natural accumulation.

In J6 is the level left at the end of the season at loci k94 and k85. At the North we can see the stone wall (f130) over which the big boulder f100 is reclining. Between the reclining boulder and the wall there are some bricks f99 laid there to help holding the stone. The rest of the deposits are basically a lot of fine bricky layers, some more compact and some more samdy with pebbles. This big layer is just separated by a thin line, maybe a floor (number 6), more reddish and compact, that develops into an ash layer going South (number 8). Also standing out is a layer of light greyish soil (number 10), between two masses of brown multilayered deposits (numbers 9 and 11). At the bottom, abutting the last of the excavated steps of the staircase, we have a pebble floor (number 13). It is very thick and short, just appearing some meter and a half, but with some very large peables. It disappears southwards. The list lf the features is as follows: 0) Red (5YR7/3) and grey (5YR8/1)Rrmicks, 1) Upper surface, sometimes hard, sometimes sandy (7.5YR6/4), 2) Slightly more greyish layer (5YR8/@^k very clear, 3) Thin pebble lens, 4) Softer brown layer, 5) Bricky brown layer that, more to the south, c˧u?lines of more bricky with more sandy layers (7.5YR6/4), 6)A thin reddish layer, harder, maybe a floor ()WCpfter red layer (see number 5), 8) Darker grey layer (10YR6/1), tith ashes, that follows the red floor number 6 ru5F0louth, 9) Another thick deposit of combination of bricky and softer and sandy layers (see number 5), 10) L.q wmey layer (10YR7/2), 11) Combined lines of bricky and crumbly (5YR6/6) with more compact dull layers (7.5YR6/4), 12) Faint greyish line over the pebble floor, 13) Heavy pebbled floor.
