Description (summary)	2009-08-13	yM	floor under top soil f281 in k105. It is a very compact surface that has a very strong brown color. Once was removed the soil came out in very big chunks that crumble to very fine soft but wet sand. It also contained a lot of phytoliths and gypsum; we also found a seal impression i28. This feature was overlaid in the southern part by an accumulation layer f285. by removing this accumulation layer we uncovered the surface of f284 that slopes down in the southern part towards the south.

Recovery/Assignment

Argument	2009-08-10	pC	Probably this surface as well the following surfaces characterized by a sharp slope toward south-east, are the temple mound for following reasons: 1) these surfaces are very hard, compact and characterized by a sharp slope, reflecting the possible morphology of the 'temple mound' in this area; 2) the surfaces are located under wall f129, which is built on top of these (f317 and f284?), while wall f129 slopes up (see v206) [Input: U125PC.J]
Argument	2009-08-13	pC	f284 is layed for a purpose and is obviously not a natural accumulation. I labeled it accumulation b, while has a clear shape, but while we are digging in a small portion we can still not identify if it as an escarpment, since it reflects the same slope as f164 we can presume it s a previous phase of f164. It is in the other hand to low to be the escarpment for wall f129, therefore shoul be for some structure under f129. It is tempting to say that is the escarpment for the LC wall. [Input: T810PC2.J]
