| Description (summary) | 2008-08-17 | cVP | first discovered while digging up the glacis f132, in a elongated spot running NE-SW, along the pebble floor f140, at the beginning it seemed to cut f132 and f140. It is an ashy grey soft soil. We realyed the zone opened today, that was not very deep, some 15 cm, and at the bottom there was a brown soil. The filling today gives a sealing, a piece of inlaid and a small miniature vessel. [Input: S817CVP.j] |
| 2008-08-19 | cVP | the ashy spot is composed by a group of different layers running almost horizontally, but slightly sloping down from the NE corner, alternating lenses of ashes, grey soil and brown soil. It contains a big quantity of pottery sherds and animal bones. The pottery seems also to be Khabur and possibly h23. [Input: S819PC.j] |

| Daily notes about recovery of elements | 2008-08-18 | cVP | The spot of ashes detected yesterday in just a small area seems to be different layers of ashy accumulation that runs down pc f140, and also under the brown soil f141. It slopes down in the south and SW area, where we still have to remove the remains of f141. [Input: S817CVP.j] |
| Argument | 2008-08-19 | cVP | The fact that it is found in a round area, going down to the center, and resting and abuting the brown soil around, along with the quantity of discarded sherds and bones, make us consider the possibility that it was a kind of dump. [Input: S819PC.j] |
| Procedures | 2008-08-20 | cVP | We excavate the rest of this feature, the ashy layers, that goes deeper in the centre of the shallow pit or dump. Reaching the bottom, we relay and photograph. [Input: S820PC.j] |
