B11	2008-07-30_S730PC.J	pc	k64 was excavated in season 2006 as a j4 square and we reached the elevation of 9116@. is defined by markers m3817 and m4301
C1	2008-07-30_S730PC.J	pc	today i decided to start digging in k64 and removing the first accumulation, which is treated as a topsoil, being exposed for two years: it is f77. The purpose of excavating here is to see if there is a continuation of f64 in k74 of the brickmelt. If there is nothing we will stop digging here and continue in k74.
C1	2008-07-31_SZ31PC.J	pC	we stopped excavating in k64, while we concentrate in the western part of J6. we decided to leave this area for next years
C1	2008-07-31_S731PC.J	pc	today i decided to continue excavating here, in order to clear what is east of f64 in k74: we excavated a very hard surface f80, and under it was a line of rough stones, located in a line. This is very similar to J4f84 in k63. Next week we will clear better the relationship with the f64 brickmelt.
C4	2008-07-31_SZ31PC.J	pC	we excavated only in the south-west part of the square in order to go faster and to excavate only in the part in which we expected to find something

B11	2008-07-15_S714PC.J	pC	k65 is a 5x5 m regular locus, defined by the markers m3871, m4301, m4295, m4722, m4723, m3816, m4724, m4718
C1	2008-07-15_S714PC.J	pC	we begin excavating the topsoil f11, which has a lot of roots, dark organic band and stones. after removing the topsoil has been exposed a burnt area in the South-west corner. Tomorrow we will relay it and give a new feature number. It is very recent, being under the top soil.
C1	2008-07-16_S716PC.J	pc	In k65 Shallal and Su'ar are the pickmen. today they were very slow, due probably to the hardness of the soil. We relayed f13, the burnt area under topsoil, which is f13: we did not collected pottery from this feature, because it is only a thin layer of ash. I decided to give a different number because extends in a big area. We reley it and then continue to excavate. The new feature is f14 which has lot of roots, dark organic band and a lot of pottery and stones.
C1	2008-07-17_S718PC.J	pC	In k65 we keep the same feature as yesterday, f14, the accumulation under top soil, but after a pick run I changed feature in f16, which is similar to f14, but harder in consistency.
C1	2008-07-19_S719PC.J	pc	Today we excavated only half of the square and the feature is still f16 q26
C1	2008-07-20_S720PC.J	pC	Today i moved Fahed and Ibrahim from k75 to k65 in order to reach the level of the melted brick surface f22. They continued excavating f16 q35, which is the same of yesterday: is hard when picked and crumble in consistency, has few pottery. After the second pickrun the consistency is much more softer and fine in texture.
C1	2008-07-21_S721PC.J	pC	We continue with f31 which is still soft and has a lot of pottery
C1	2008-07-22_S722PC.J	pC	today we continue excavating f36, which is soft and fine in texture. I decided to stop excavating after breakfast, because the level is too deep to remove the dirt and tomorrow we will remove the baulks
C1	2008-07-23_S723PC.J	pC	today eA and cJC drew the North section
C1	2008-07-24_SZ31PC.J	pC	we decided to stop excavating in k65 while we whanted to concentrate in the western portion of J6, and also because we found in this square only natural accumulations. f36 is the last feature
C1	2008-07-24_SZ31PC.J	pC	we decided to stop excavating in this locus

C1	2009-08-18_T818YM.J	yM	in this square the aim was to level the top layer in the northern portion and to reach the level of the southern part, in order to see if a stone exposed in the north western corner and next to wall f218 is a part of wall f218. This stone has a east-west orientation, different from the north orientation of wall f218. if there are more stones continuing to the east, wall f218 could here change direction and continue to the east. We removed the top soil and then f321 which is eroded and melted bricks mixed with accumulations. By doing that we where able to uncover more of wall f218. but we didn’t find any more stones east of the stone, although we did find another stone underneath of it.

B11	2010-02-15_U125PC.J	pC	k71 is a regular locus 5x5 meters defined by markers m6198 and m6199. It was excavated during season 2006 as a J4 locus with the same locus number. It was decided to continue the excavation here to investigate better the stone structure f218 and f219.
C1	2009-08-02_T804YM3.J	yM	we continued excavating in k71. we removed 2 stones f225.1 and f225.5. we also removed the accumulation pile that was sitting on. Tomorrow we continue with the same strategy of uncovering the wall f227 in k104 and removing the floating stones f225 k72
C1	2009-08-03_T803PC.J	pC	today we continue digging in the southern portion of k71: f223 is a natural accumulation abutting f219; while excavating q351 came out still plastic bags, probably from the animal hole in the western section. We then removed floating stones f225, while was not possible to continue digging with the stones in a small area. We took pictures, relays and then removed them. We then found a feature f230 which is full of pottery and small hand size pebbles. f230 is hard, crumby with some brick pieces. all those features are natural accumulations, therefore they do not show use of this area. The german excavation documents a floor surface on the northern side of f219 (B6-Inst. 32) at the elevation of ca. 9280 abutting f219 and date it to Mittani. On its southern part was found from them any floor surface. Under f230 was found a new feature f238, which was only started to excavate at the end of the day, therefore tomorrow we will dig it all and decide what type of feature it is.
C1	2009-08-05_T804PC.J	pC	Today we found under f238 a sherd floor f240 in the eastern part of the square, instead in the western we were not able to follow it, probably was eroded or cut. We found instead a reddish bricky layer, which we excavated as f238 (f238 was bricky and had some brick pieces). Directly under floor f240 and f238 was found a sloping compact surface which I interpreted as a glacis: f242 starts from wall f219 and in the eastern portion of the locus slopes sharply toward east. This is the glacis we were looking for in k71, which is probably the same as ^glacis1. I decided to remove the floating stone f245 in the south-western part of the square and we found directly under it a lens full of pebbles, which is the same as f210 and f243 in k82, found also under the floating stones f212 (not directly because there was accumulation f241
C1	2009-08-06_T804PC.J	pC	Today we started excavating on the eastern side of f219. I let the workmen clean all the stones and the surface, while it has been exposed since 3 years. I then assigned to the first 30 cm of accumulation f248 which is the topsoil. I then changed feature number into f251 which is the natural accumulation under the topsoil. We found two large stones sitting in f251 which are f251.1 and f251.2. We removed the stones while under them was only natural accumulation.
C1	2009-08-09_T804PC.J	pC	today we finished removing the floor surface f258 which was a hard and compact surface reddish in color, platy in structure when picked and had some ashy pockets. This floor covered a very compact layer, which while we were exposing it in the norther portion of the square, it seemd bricky (a brickfall?). After exposing it all, in the southern part of the locus this layer was sharply sloping towars south, following the same slope as the mittani glacis f242. pC hypothesized that this red compact layer is the third millennium glacis, same as f164 in k84 and k104. Therefore we decided to see the relationship between this red feature, which is f260 and the mittani glacis f242. f260 where the wall f219 takes 90° angle to the north, slopes toward south and goes under f242. At the beginning was difficolt to understand the reason of the complete absence of glacis f242 above f260 in the northern part of k71: at the end of the day, after cleaning and removing stones f263 and the accumulation under them f264, was clear that glacis f260 was still used while glacis f242 was layed. f242 overlays f260 and in the point of the overlayng there are some stones. Other stones came out in the north-east corner of k71, which are f262. Today we were able to expose all the face of wall f218 but we still did not reach the bottom, but I presume it goes still deeper
C1	2009-08-10_T810PC.J	pC	today we did not excavated in k71 while for this year we will stop to the level of glacis f242 and f260

B11	2008-09-02_S902PC.J	pC	k73 is a locus excavated by J4 in season 2006. It is located North of k74. Aim of the opening of locus k73 was the removal of bin a7 and the exposure of ^glacis1. Due to the lack of time this goal was never accomplished
C1	2008-07-30_SZ31PC.J	pC	we decided to clean the south section of k73 while we observed that in the South-East corner there were bricks. Cleaning it we uncovered a wall which has only one row of bricks with mortar. The orientation is North-East South-West. While the piece of the wall is to small we can not decide if belongs to a structure, possibly related to f64 in k74, just next to it or something else.

B11	2008-08-11_S811PC.J	pC	It was excavated in season 2006 as a J4 locus. We decided to dig in this locus to have more space for the expected wall f130
B11	2009-01-09_SZ31PC.J	pC	k74 is a regular square 5x5 m and defined by the following markers: m4245, m4251, m4243, m4293, m4294, m4299, m4717, m3833, m3817
C1	2008-07-22_S722PC.J	pC	After finishing excavating in k65, I moved the team of k65 in k75 (Ibrahim and Fahed): they removed the first 20 cm f39, which I define as top soil, because it was exposed for 2 years. The second pick run was full of big sherds, stones, pebbles and bricks. I think this was already a new feature and not anymore the topsoil. Tomorrow I will assign a new feature. In the North-East corner was found a baked brick with incised lines q64.1 .
C1	2008-07-23_S723PC.J	pC	today we removed f43 and found a new layer; it is a compact mud irregular surface with some sherds embedded: it is different from the above layer f43
C1	2008-07-26_S725PC.J	pC	today we finished to remove the East baulk of k74 and we finished cleaning all the squares
C1	2008-07-28_S728PC.J	pc	We removed f59, which is an accumulation covering a mudbrick structure, which we are exposing and not fully understood; f59 was soft but with patches of harder soil and was characterized by the presence of a lot of pottery and big sherds. since we found a line of bricks in the Eastern part of the square f64, i decided to change feature number and expose the bricks and excavate in the western part which is f65: it is an accumulation which abuts f64 and is characterized by the presence of big sherds, carbons, brick crumples and pieces of tannur. It is the same as f59 which covers it. In the south part of the square aKarim found a rounded and flat clay object which has in one side the impression of a basket (i2).
C1	2008-07-29_S729PC.J	pc	Today we continued to excavate f65, the accumulation aganist the presumed structure in bricks, which is still brickmelt f64. f65 is a mixture of brick melt, pieces of bricks and lot of pottery. After removing f65 we found an homogeneus layer of brickmelt f72; while excavating was very similar to f65, therefore i suppose is still a mixture of brickmelt and soil. It is very similar to f60 in k85, which presents a similar situation to k74. after a meeting with fAB we decided to remove the top 5 cm of f64, in order to see if there is a brickfall or a wall. It was very useful because we saw a clear line of bricks with South direction. After a meeting with gB, fAB and all J6 staff, we instead decided to keep f64 and to excavate to the west f72 to search for the face of a wall. After removing f72 we encontered in the northern part of the square an accumulation without bricks and sloping west. It is f73 and we still did not excavated. Today mKB analyzed the pottery for f59 and f65 and it is all Mittani
C1	2008-08-02_S802PC.J	pC	We started to remove the brickmelt f64, beginning from East; we removed also the presumed andiron; there were only fragments and not decorated. In the northern part we found a pit that cuts the brickmelt f64: it is filled by a very soft brown soil with few pottery; at the top of the pit there is a thin line of ash. We did not excavated all the pit, being half of it in the northern baulk. Therefore we decided to remove the baulk: it is f88 and the topmost part is very soft and corresponds to f59.
C1	2008-08-03_S803PC.J	pC	Today we finished to remove the northern baulk f88: it was soft and was all accumulation same as f65 and f72. It covered a row of bricks which is very badly preserved and therefore removed and the pit f87. Half of the pit was excavated yesterday and today we excavated the northern part which was in the baulk. It is a round shallow pit, 40 cm high in the northern part and 20 cm in the southern part: this is due to the fact that we missed the top part of it while ecavating f64. This pit cuts f64 and f76, which probably originally belonged to the same structure, which now is melted. The pit cut f92 cuts the brickmelt and was probably a storage pit. when it came in disuse it was filled by earth and at the top by some bricks which sealed the top. The fill f87 was loose earth very fine in texture and soft; it has some rooths and lot of phytoliths, some pottery and stones and a burnt backed brick. There was also q155.1 and q155.2, which are lavorated stones of unknown use. The pottery looks Mittani
C1	2008-08-04_S804PC.J	pC	Today we removed f64, which is still brickmelt: it is red brown in color, due to the presence of the bricks, and is full of pottery, which dates to Mittani (mKB). It has some stones and some pieces of tannur. We checked better in section the pit cut f92 and it is clear that it cuts the brickmelt f64: probably first there was the brickfall, then the upper part of it melted and was excavated the pit in the brickfall, then some brick fall into the pit.
C1	2008-08-05_S805PC.J	pC	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.
C1	2008-08-06_S806PC.J	pC	Today we removed all the brickfall f103 and we exposed the glacis f107, which is the same as f63, f109, f110
C1	2008-08-13_S813PC.J	pC	Today we removed the remaining part of the brickfall above the glacis f107. we assigned a new feature number to this part of the brickfall, being just 10 cm above the glacis: f123 is more compact and bricky, with some charcoal and a lot of pottery. We found at the beginning of the day, in the North-East part of k74, just above the glacis, two Early Dynastic seal impressions (i8 and i9). The pottery is mostly Mittani but with some earlier sherds mixed (mKB). While exposing the glacis, Su'ar found a floor pavement made of sherds. It seems to be just above the glacis and probably was made by people walking by: 2 m to the North there is the bin, which was dated mittani, therefore the floor could be linked to activities in the bin. We are very closed to Khabur and probably the glacis is dated to Phase 5. In J4 was found a floor J4f154, located South of the glacis J4f127. J4f127 is the same glacis as f107 and probably J4f154 is the same floor as in k74. In J4k100 was excavated f121, which was at the elevation of 8996@top a hard surface, which is probably the same glacis as f107 and f63 in k84 (8974@top), considering the slope toward South
C1	2008-08-25_S825CVP.J	cVP	This square is not officially excavated right now but cVP is following the outlines of a structure, possibly a wall, feature number f166.
C1	2008-08-26_S826CVP.J	cVP	In order to more clearly define the nature of the structure f166, a micro-sounding is opened in the broken area of the glacis.
C1	2008-08-26_SZ31PC.J	cVP	We open a small rectangle running along the outer face of the possible wall f166, to be able to understand better its nature. In this micro-sounding the upper part consist in ashy layers but under it, and mixed, we have a brickfall accumulation, with brown soil and pieces of broken bricks.
C1	2008-08-26_SZ31PC.J	cVP	We opened a small rectangular square in the outer face of this structure f166, inside the already existing hole of the glacis, searching down the wall. In the south part is still going down, but in the north end the lower layers of bricks seems to be projected outside, giving the impression of a "glacis"-like or "dyke"-like.

B11	2008-07-14_S714PC.J	pC	k75 is a 5x5 m regular square, defined by the markers m4717, m3833, m4720, m3838, m3813, m4721, m3816, m4722, m3817
C1	2008-07-14_S714PC.J	pC	today we begin to excavate in this square, beginning whith the top soil f5 q4: it has dark organic bands, roots and stones of 10-20cm, and lot of pottery sherds. After a pick run we changed feature in f7, which is a natural accumulation, characterized by the presence of roots, stones and lot of pottery: hB has beeen looking at them and she found very interesting: they are mixed up, but there are Khabur and Mittani. We should find very high Mittani, so we look already from the top features
C1	2008-07-15_S714PC.J	pC	In k75 we keep also the same feature as yesterday f7 (hB: sherds mixed Khabur-mittani), but after a pick run i decided to change, being the clay more clean, fine in texture as f6 in k85 at the same elevation. f9 is the same as f6 in k85: it is fine in texture, hard when picked. There are a lot of pottery sherds. We found one Mittani painted sherd. sMuhammad exposed an area where the surface is harder and has a lot of stones (5cm) and sherds embedded, liyng flat: this is probably due to the presence of water flowing to this area, and probably is not due to human presence. I decided to relay and photograph this area and to give a new feature, f10: f10 sits in f9 and expands in the southern area of k75 and goes toward south in k76. I decided to finish excavating in k74 and move the workmen in k65.
C1	2008-07-16_S716PC.J	pc	in k75 Fahed is the only pickmen for today: he went very fast, even the soil was hard: he removed first the South-east area which is f10 and then continue to remove f9. We forgot to take the bottom elevation of f10, but is only 10 cm thick. Today we keept the same feature because there was no particular change in the soil: f9 is still crumby in consistence and hard when picked. It is fine in texture as f6 in k85. Today from this feature we collected very few pottery. In the center of the square Fahed found an animal hole, which is at the elevation of 9191@ and is 5cm in diameter. After a pickrun the soil is more fine and has patches of softer and harder soil. In the North baulk there is a stone, probably floating.
C1	2008-07-17_S718PC.J	pC	Today we continued removing f9, which is still the same of yesterday: it is hard when picked, has some pebbles (>10cm) and has patches of soft and harder soil and is crumby in consistency. After two pick runs i decided to change feature in f17, because the consistency was softer and very similar to f8 in k85, which is soft when picked and fine in texture and has few pottery sherds.  f17 is characterized by the presence of phytolitics and some rooths. At the end of the day came out the top of some stones.
C1	2008-07-19_S719PC.J	pc	We keep the same feature as yesterday, f17, which is still very soft when picked and fine in texture. f17 covers a line of 5 stones of >40 cm in dimension, which is f21: they are alligned in North eastern-South western direction: theese stones remindes me to the stones alligned in J2 in front of the second apron lJ2f15, lJ2f24, lJ2f27 at the elevation of 9170@ ca. and also f21 is at 9170@: i suppose f21 is the same as theese stones in J2. Probably at the end of Mittani, there was a level surface in front of the second apron and of the staircase, with theese stones associated to it. After removing f17 we changed feature in f18, which was more soft than f12 in k85. this feature is characterized by the presence of some melted brick pieces: after a pick run they exposed a brick melt surface, which is f22. The stones f21 are 10 cm higher than the brick surface f22 and are later in date.
C1	2008-07-20_S720PC.J	pC	Today we took views for the brick crumble surface f22 and the stones f21. I decided to stop excavating here because we needed to remove the Eastern baulk of k85 f30: this was removed and it was created a slope for the wheelbarrow. Then i moved the workmen in k65 in order to reach the same level of k75 and to see if there is also the same brick crumble.
C1	2008-07-22_S722PC.J	pC	I decided to move the workmen from k85 to k75, because there we decided for the moment to stop digging: we want to expose the same feature of k85 f37, being in k75 at the same level. We removed the brick melt f22 and after a pick run we found f39, which is present only in the Western part of the locus. It seems that f22 continues in the Eastern part. We took relays and we decided to clean all expose it and stop excavating. Today dH hQ cJC draw the North and the East section of k75
C1	2008-07-23_S723PC.J	pC	today we removed the North baulk f47 and the East baulk f44. For the east baulk was created a slope for the wheelbarrow. Today eA and dH drew the North section
C1	2008-07-26_S725PC.J	pC	today we cleaned the surface of k75 f42, since was exposed for few days.
C1	2008-07-28_S728PC.J	pc	Today we opened k75 because i get a new team of workmen: they excavated f61, which is an accumulation which covers a surface of melted bricks. We will look carfully tomorrow for the brick, but it seems to be the same as the brick in k85, which are at the same elevation
C1	2008-07-29_S729PC.J	pc	today we continued removing f68, which is a mixture of soil and brick melt, very similar to f60 in k85 and to f65 in k74. It abuts f71, which is the brickmelt. The brickmelt shows no clear shape of complete bricks or walls, therfore i decided to remove the first 10 cm with the big pick, clean and then remove other 5 cm with the small pick and trowel, making a flat surface: this allow us to see the face of the bricks and to see if there is mortar in between.
C1	2008-07-30_S730PC.J	pc	Today we removed only f68, which is a very hard accumulation, characterized by the presence of some brickmelt, some pebbles. Under f68 there is f80, a surface with bricks and small pebbles and some sherds lying flat. We took a view of all the square to see both features. We decided to leave f80 and remove 10 cm of the brickmelt f71: it is still brickmelt, hard when picked and comes out in big chunks; there are some stones and big pieces of bricks.
C1	2008-07-30_S730PC.J	pc	today we removed part of the brickmelt f64, which could be a structure, but melted out. It is very hard and compact, fine in texture and is characterized by the presence of some stones (>15 cm), pieces of bricks and tannur. We removed it with the small pick and trowel, but we still did not found any coherent structure. In k73, in the South-East corner there is part of a brick wall f76. This was exposed two years ago, as we excavated in J4k73, but we left the wall because continued under the baulk and was the end of the excavation season. Now that we reached the same elevation in k74, we can suppose that this wall has its continuation to the South in k74 f64. Therefore today we stopped excavating in k74 and we cleaned the wall f76 and excavated to the East in k64.
C1	2008-07-31_S731PC.J	pc	today we excavated only f71 which covered f82: f71 was the brickmelt, very hard and consisting of an uniform surface of melted bricks; f82, instead is softer, with patches of soil and harder where there are bricks. Being full of brick, partly also complete, this is the beginning of the brickfall, same as f75 in k85
C1	2008-08-02_S802PC.J	pC	Today we removed the brickmelt f82, which is very hard: is still alternig to have softer patches to harder ones and alterns hard surfaces to softer ones, very similar to a brickfall; this is probably due to different periods of exposure to the water and sun, which melted the bricks and then dried it out. To the East there is a part which is different and harder than f82. this is f78, which has some small stones, pebbles and some bricks. I differentiated from the brickmelt, being this more an accumulation than brickmelt.
C1	2008-08-03_S803PC.J	pC	today we excavated the brickmelt f93, which is located under f82. It differentiate from f82 being more soft, but still full of brickmelt and pieces of bricks
C1	2008-08-04_S804PC.J	pC	Today i looked well in the East section and i saw a clear layer of ash under the brickmelt f82. therefore i decided to excavate with the small pick and to find where are the limits of the ash: it covers half of the square and it abuts f82. It is soft in consistence and dark black-brown in color. There were fragments of faience beads. We collected a carbon sample q164.3
C1	2008-08-05_S805PC.J	pC	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.
C1	2008-08-06_S806PC.J	pC	Today we partly exposed the glacis f109, which is located directly under the ash f97
C1	2008-08-09_S809PC.J	pc	today we removed the north baulk f111, which is brickfall
C1	2009-09-01_SZ31PC.J	pc	we decided to stop excavating in k75 at the level of the glacis f109 and to dig only in the western squares k84-k87

B11	2009-07-28_T725PC.J	pC	k82 is a regular 5x5 meters locus, excavated in season MZ18 from J2 unit and in season MZ19 from J4 unit. The J4 excavation stopped here excavating while was reached a nice surface wich was interpreted as a glacis wich is J4f77. We decided to continue excavating here to see the continuation of the red glacis f164 in k83, dated to the end of the Third Millennium and to expose it through the north in connection to wall f129 running North-South
C1	2009-07-28_T725PC.J	pC	Today we cleaned k82, starting with topsoil f209, wich is the first 5 cm of soil accumulated in the last 3 years
C1	2009-08-06_T804PC.J	pC	Today we removed a small portion of the northern baulk of k82 to see if wall f218 is the same as the wall in k71 f219. It has been assigned one feature number to all this piece of baulk and treated as a topsoil (f249): we found also a big animal hole full of plastic bags. We then decided to remove all floating stones in front of wall f218 to have a better exposure of the wall which now seems to be the same wall as in k71. All floating stones were photograph before and after their removal to show that they stand above a natural accumulation (see v183 and followings).While they are so high and all concentrated in front of wall f218 we assume that they collapsed in later mittani from f218 or a structure related to it to the north. the foating stones are f212 (which correspond to J2f93) and we assigned to all the accumulation under the stones f250, which is a soft and dusty soil full of pottery ans some plastic (probably due to the animal hole). We assigned another feature number to the stones located under the small piece of baulk f249 which are f244, but the soil under it is f250 as for stones f212.
C1	2009-08-08_T804PC.J	pC	Today we finished to remove all floating stones f212 and now we can see all the southern face of wall f218. Now that the wall has been exposed we can say that f218 is a wall and f219 is the upper part of this wall in k71 building a triangular shape structure, which seems an apron and possibly is later than wall f218. Today we removed all f250, which is the natural accumulation under the floating stones and under it we exposed f257 which is a strip of a natural compacted floor found only in front of wall f218 and which overlays f243. We found an animal hole going under f257. f250 was covering also f243, the pebble lens found in all the northern part of k82. We then removed all f243 and exposed in the north-west corner a series of stones f256 which seems go under the last step of the staircase f255. At the end of the day, after removing all f243, stones f256 seem to build a line running north-south. In the northern part of k82 under f243 was found a reddish layer which seems to be pretty the same red soil with calcite pebbles of f164, but it slopes toward south, therefore we decided still not to remove it
C1	2009-08-09_T804PC.J	pC	Today we dig in the southern part of k82 removing f259 which is a natural accumulation: I decided to follow all features from the northern section of k104 to be safe to find the glacis f206, but while excavating it was found in the western part tannur fragments and in the eastern part an ashy accumulation f261: I had a feeling that we were already digging the fill of the pit a8 whithout finding the glacis. I then decided to stop excavating here and dig in all k82 to have a larger exposure of the feature we were digging. At this moment came fAB and gB: I explained them the situation and fAB looked in the eastern section of k82 and found the glacis, which the pickmen probably missed but probably because was in this part very thin and damaged. We then continued excavating in the northern part of k82 and we removed all f243, which should be the latest event in this square. f243 was found some dayes ago and was a lens of pottery and pebbles. Today we removed the last part of it and we could find that this is resting in a channel probaly due to water flowing from the north, were f243 accumulated. We then removed the accumulation next to f243.
C1	2009-08-10_T810PC.J	pC	Today was removed the accumulation f265 in the northern half of k82. It is a reddish compact accumulation which overlays the probably red glacis f275. f275 was showing only partly and while we wanted to see the red going against the wall f218, we decided to remove the northern baulk of k82 after drowing the section. The baulk was removed as one feature f274 and defined as topsoil while we have a large animal hole just in the middle of it. Also under fAB's suggestion we treated this feature as a topsoil while in front of the wall the soil is very loose and permits the contamination of pottery. The animal hole was full of plastic bags and we empty it with a spoon. floating stones f254.1 and f254.2 were removed and the soil under it is f272, a natural accumulation. Just under stone f254.1 was found a seal impression i26. On top of accumulation f265 in the center of the locus there was a line of bricks and a stone f270. Other bricks were found in front of wall f218 on top of f274. I suppose those bricks could be associated to the bin a7. After removin the accumulation f272 under stones f254 new stones of wall f256 came out and was possible to see that wall f256 is the same wall as f247
C1	2009-08-10_T810PC.J	pC	today I put aKarim and Ali to continue removing the last part of the pit. We removed first accumulation f265 and then the pickman decided to move south and remove first the pit. I looked well and it seemed their strategy was correct while the cut was visible in surface and therefore the pit was the most recent event in this locus. Therefore they started removing the ashy accumulation f261 same as f267 and then I saw that we were in the fill of the pit for the quantity of pottery was coming out and for the characteristics of the soil, which was very loose and ashy. Therefore I put the workmen first removing the small portion of glacis left in the northern baulk of k104, which is not cut by the pit and is f206. Then I changed feature number for all the fill of the pit and I gived the same feature number as for k104 f192 while I could follow it from the northern section. f192 is full of pottery, tannur pieces and lot of unbaked pieces of clay, some of them are sealings whith rope impression and some are jar stopper. We collected in q390 10 of them. One I made an item i25 while I wanted to show the spot where all those were coming from and also because at a first sight seemed to me a seal impression. The northern limit of the pit is still not visible, while on the top are some bricks and a large stone which we will remove tomorrow.
C1	2009-08-12_T810PC.J	pC	Today we removed the presumed glacis f276 which is located aproximatly at the same elevation as the glacis in k71 f242 and has the same charachteristics: is located above glacis f275 (the red escarpment, ^glacis3), is very hard and compact in surface, sloping toward south. It seems to be not the same as glacis f206, while in section f206 is lower in elevation and therefore f206 and f276 are two different glacis. f276 overlays the red glacis f275. We removed it all and under it we could expose in the eastern part of k82 an ashy spot. While exposing it it became larger and very ashy and circular in form: this ash is f278 and it goes 5 cm deep. Behind it, in section are two bricks, possibly related to the fire. Under f276 in th southern part of k82 was found the northern limit of the pit cut f199.
C1	2009-08-13_T810PC2.J	pC	Yesterday we continued to remove te fill of the hollow pit in k82. While removing the northern part of the pit fill was possible to recognize that there is a circular cut inside the cut of the hollow f199. Therefore I decided to give a new feature number to ne circular pit f283 and its fill, even if the fill looks like f192. It is still not clear which pit comes first, whether f283 cuts f199 or f199 cuts f283. Tomorrow I will look better once the fill is completely removed. Once removed f192 was exposed a compact bricky and red surface, not homogeneus and not nice as the glacis f164 (v200). Looking in the north section of k104 I decided that was the same as f200 and I kept the same feature number. f200 is still fill of f199, while is full of pottery, stones and the soil has patches of softer ones. In the south-west corner of k82 were a concentration of stones (>20 cm) and big sherds. I decided to collect all this pottery in a different q-lot q412. While removing part of f200 was partly exposed stones and big sherds next to wall f227: it could be the stones removed from wall f227.
C1	2009-08-15_T810PC2.J	pC	today was removed a small part left over from the previous days while excavating the pit fill f192. This feature is f288 and is very similar to f192, but was more reddish. Then it was removed f192 in the south-eastern portion of the square. When we had in all the pit f200 aKarim and Ali started to remove it from the south where it was showing a large congentration of pottery on the surface. While excavating it there was lot of pottery, pebbles and small stones and a kilin waster. A large amount of sherds where overfried. I thought it was the disacrd/waste of pottery coming from a kilin. I decided to assign a new feature number to the discard of pottery which is f293 and is located directly above stones f227
C1	2009-08-16_T816PC.J	pC	Today was removed f200 which as the previous days was full of pottery (7 bags) and continued to be reddish and soft. It covers wall f227 and just in the center of it there was more pottery (f293). Under f200 came out a very compact sloping south surface which abuts wall f227. This is for sure not the pit cut f199 but is a glacis which slopes down until f227. Therefore the pit fill of f199 is only f192 and f200 is a dump of pottery located under the hollow pit coming from a kilin next to J6 or in J6. It was not possible to recognize a pit cut before f200 and f200 was not cut. In the western section of k82 is possible to see f192 which finishes aproximatly in the center of k82. Above the glacis which is f300, there is an ash spot. In the eastern portion of the square I decided to remove a column of soil left over in the previous days to keep a mudbrick. This feature was excavated at once as f302 and includes f276 and f265, both natural accumulations. aKarim stopped where there is the end of the pit cut, which is located much higher than f200 and at the level of f192. Tomorrow therefore I will take a relay for all the pit. In the westrn portion of the square I removed the western thin baulk left to check the section. It is f295 and is a natural accumulation same as f276. Under it was f298, which is a red accumulation same as f265 which covers stones probably belonging to the northern continuation of f129. While removing the section we were able to see wall f265 which sits on top of stones of probably wall f129. I decided therefore to remove 30 cm of the red accumulation f265, which I always thought was same as f164, but excavating it was mixed with red soil same as for f164 together with a soft dusty accumulation. Therefore I think we still did not reached the same escarpment as f164.
C1	2009-08-17_T818PC.J	pC	Yesterday was removed the top part of f265, which is a reddysh accumulation mixed with soft soil. It abuts wall f218. Under f265 was found f309 which is a brown, wet and soft soil in the northern portion of the square. In f309 was found the seal impression i29 and some roofing pieces. Under f309 was found on the western part of the square f315 which is a gray soft accumulation and in the eastern part of k82 a red accumulation f314. On the surface those two features were good recognizable and the boundary between them was sharp. While scraping f315 was possible to see that it was covering f314 and looking in section I thougt was still the fill of pit f199. The soil was soft and ashy including some pebbles, lot of sherds and some backed bricks. This fill was only 10 cm deep and thinner on the western part. I think it is a part of the fill of the hollow pit, which seems partly be formed by water erosion. f315 covered f314, which then was excavated in all the northern k82 and defined by relays r570 and r571. In the center portion of the square was removed a soft brown accumulation which is f310 with few sherds, probably same as f314. Yesterday we excavated also in the afternoon for 3 hours, removing f315 and then f314
C1	2009-08-18_T818PC.J	pC	Yesterday was the last day of excacation. f314 was removed and under it is f300. f314 was not completely removed while it is very deep in the eastern portion of k82: under it is glacis f300 which slopes sharply to the south-east. This slope gives an indication that the revetment wall f227 should change direction under the bin in k73 and goes toward north. The northern section of k82 was drawn and all the rest of the morning was removed the northern baulk of k82 f322 which is a mixed feature. West section of k82 and k104 was fotographed and removed (f323)
C1	2009-08-26_T827YM.J	yM	today are excavating the bricks that we think are a foundation box in north western angle in k82 between wall f129 and wall f218. We started by removing 10cm of these 33 by 8cm oblique bricks f324. then we removed other 10cm, but then we stopped because they might be going deeper then we thought, there for it will be dangerous to proceed without supporting the wall on top f256, and also because its very clear that the bricks goes under wall f218 there for we know now that its not a foundation box but rather a part of an earlier structure. so we decides to excavate a small 80 by 75 square that we enlarged later on to 1.1m square next to the bricks so we can understand the situation better and see how deep the bricks go and if the stone walls f218 and f129 continues down. So we removed f328 which is an accumulation layer that was the stopping point for the season , then we removed f327 below it which is a compact surface that had colored lines in it ranging from yellow to gray to red and that runs west east before changing its cores towards the south. Inside this feature there where some bricks and a lens type a f330 that consists of dry crumbly material that we also removed. The stones of wall f218 seems to continue down, but we couldn’t find any more stones continuing down in wall f129. Tomorrow we will continue excavating in this square to understand better the situation.
C1	2009-08-26_T827YM.J	yM	today we continued excavating f327 some more, finding more bricks inside. and we also did a nail test to be conclusive about weather it is a foundation box or not. We did not find an empty space behind the bricks, which would have been  there if it was a foundation box. So we decided to stop and leave this situation as an open question for next years excavation because In order to understand better we have to excavate a larger area which is not possible this season due to the lake of time.
C2	2009-07-28_T725PC.J	pC	We decided to dig in k82 because we want to see first if glacis J4f77 is the same as ^glacis1 found in J6 last year. We want to see if under this glacis is the third millennium glacis f164, wich rises up to the north and should be very high in k82. Therefore the third millennium features are higher to the north then in the south. We found a floor surface in k104 f204 just under the stones f201: we presume this floor is the ^glacis1. We will then finish to remove the pit f192, but first we have to remove the stones f201, which we thought were the revetment wall: while the pit goes under those stones, now we can assume that there is no wall.
C2	2009-08-16_T816PC.J	pC	Today we were able to remove a large part of dump f200 and to expose a glacis f300 which abuts wall f227. On the other hand was exposed more of wall f265 and came out under wall f265 a row of stones which are in line with wall f129 and probably are the same wall. Those stones seems abut f218. While glacis f300 seems to be a nice surface and a good seal to what is underneath, we will reach this level. We then will remove all f200 and also to the north f265, which is the red escarpment phase h33-MZA, but still not so clear as f164. We will remove it all and reach everywhere in k82 glacis f300. This will aloud us to see a connection between walls f218, f129 and f227: this will show that in a phase those walls where connected and contemporary used. If there is time we will go down to the east to see if wall f227 continues lower, while glacis f300 seems sloping toward South-East. On the other hand we would like to make a small sounding behind wall f227 and east of wall f129: this will give us more information abouut walls f129 and f227, whether they bound and giving us a date to it: f200 is still mixed mittani with h4-JPA and f300 should be the seal for the Third Millennium.
C3	2009-08-26_T827YM.J	yM	faB assumes that the reason we couldn’t find any stones continuing down in wall f129 is because the wall was built on a slope.

B11	2008-07-13_S707PC.J	pC	Is not a regular square, but a trapezoidal locus, due also to the trench k200 to the West. Is defined by m3821, m3824, m4245, m3828, m3829, m3820, m3830
C1	2008-07-13_S707PC.J	pC	k84 is a locus already excavated in J4 in season 2005 and in season 2004 as J2. It is a half square being excavated in J4 for the southern half as k84 and the northern half as k100 together with k83. k84 was excavated until the elevation 9150@. The features in k84 in J4 were J4f87 for the top soil, J4f88 for the accumulation under top soil.
C1	2008-07-13_S707PC.J	pC	today we begin removing the first 50 cm from the west baulk in k84, left by the J4 excavation 2006. This baulk is important because it is showing the eastern side of the trench excavated by the german team in season 2000. We want do draw all the section: the first 2 meters will be drawn from k84 and the rest, once collapsed this first part of the baulk, will be drawn from J2 k100 to the west (k200). After removing the 50 cm hB, eA, hB, dH draw the section. The section shows the top soil and the accumulation for 1m. It is clean from pottery and stones (very few). In J4f88 we have already Khabur pottery
C1	2008-07-19_S719PC.J	pc	Today we removed the West baulk, which is f1: it has all features of k84 (see J4) and therefore has no stratigraphic importance.
C1	2008-07-21_S721PC.J	pC	Today i decided to move Su'ar in k84 and begin excavating here: being the removing of the dirt difficult from the top of the baulk, i decided to remove the east baulk of k84 (which is a half baulk, partly removed in season 2004 as J4), which is f34.
C1	2008-07-21_S721PC.J	pC	k84 was excavated in season 2006: it was separated in two loci: k84 North and k84 South. The southern part was left higher and the Northern part was dig together with k83 south; from this two half squares we made a new square J4k100 which was a deep sounding into the temple mound.
C1	2008-07-22_S722PC.J	pC	Today we removed the first 10 cm of soil: I consider it as a topsoil, being exposed for two years. This feature is f32, which is very dusty and has few pottery. after the first pick run Su'ar found f38, which is the same of f37 in k85: it is limited only in the South-East part of the square. in the North West part there is a surface of brick melt: it is f41 and some bricks are visible. I decided first to excavate f41 and then f38. In season 2006, when k84 was excavated as J4 locus, was not found this feature: this means that it did not extend in the northern part, where it was excavated deeper.
C1	2008-07-23_S723PC.J	pC	we removed f38 which is the same feature as f37: has a lot of pebbles, sherds and bones. Once removed it was very similar to f41, which instead had melted bricks. f38 was soft and dusty and had a lot of sherds. After removing it, we went down for 30 cm; Su'ar looked in the South section of k84 and found a nice compacted surface; he removed the layer above f45 and exposed f46: f46 is a highly compacted floor surface, with some sherds laying flat (a khabur painted sherd was just above it); atop f45 was a seal i1: we relayed it, took pictures and stopped excavating.
C1	2008-07-24_S725PC.J	pC	today we removed the floor surface f46, which was found the day before. It was very compact and hard to remove and came out in big chunks, and once removed we found a lot of pieces of bricks and brick melt. This surface covered another compact surface with bricks and some ashes and few carbons: this is f52, which is the beginning of the brickfall at elevation of 9023@ top. I decided to remove the first 10 cm of this, to see if under this there is a structure. It continue to be bricks and the surface was full of bricks located in different direction, building any kind of organized surface. I decided to change feature, being this different in quantity of brick, and more clearly a brickfall. It is f53, and is characterized by a slope going to North and at least 10 bricks of different dimensions and color (mostly are red, but there are also grey bricks). We took views of this surface v28 and relayed it. we went down for two other pick runs and the brickfall continued. This means that we are above a kind of a mudbrick structure that collapsed. The pottery is all mixed, some khabur, mittani, phase 23 sherds.
C1	2008-07-26_S725PC.J	pC	Today in the early morning I looked in the section to check if the brickfall slopes; it is clear that the surface is flat, and Su'ar probably excavated for mistake as a slope. We continued removing the brickfall f53 which is still full of bricks but building any coherent shape, as a wall. hB analyzed the pottery coming from f53 and it is Phase 33. Before breakfast fAB came to see the brickfall and he looked in section showing us that there are some bricks with mortar in between. Also the brickfall is much more full of bricks than before. We have the feeling that we are reaching a sructure. I decided to change feature number, relay it and photograph, which is v29. The new feature is f55: fAB suggested to dig in a trench large 50 cm and long 2m along the West section, going down for 30 cm: in this way we should see a wall from the section. We proceeded like this but we found only the end of the brickfall after 20 cm. Under it there is a mud surface, hard and sloping south. This remembers me to J4f121 in J4k100, which is also sloping South and was orange-brown. We did not remove it and today we did not expose it all.
C1	2008-07-28_S728PC.J	pc	Today we finished removing the brickfall f55: it is full of red and grey unbaked bricks, crumbly and is hard when picked, it has not much pottery; After removing it, we found a hard surface which is sloping towards South-West f63. This is an indication that there is a boundary to the west that stopps the slope. This slope could be a glacis which covers the ancient mound of the temple terrace and was covered by this glacis to protect it; it probably ends aganist the wall f130. this situation reminds me to J3, were a series of glacis were uncovered: they are the coating of the temple mound, finishing in behind the revetment wall (J3f150 is the glacis). We covered the glacis and we started removing the western baulk. I decided to excavate it stratigraphically, following the accumulations which are f66 and then the floor f46 which in the baulk is f67. this floor was relayed and then removed together with the brickfall. The brickfall coveres wall f127, which is the memory stones of the wall f129. In the baulk was found a jar stopper i2
C1	2008-07-29_S729PC.J	pc	Today we finished removing the West baulk of k84, which is f69: it is the brickfall, same as f55, and it covered partly wall f127, the memory stones of f129. The brickfall covered also the glacis f63, slopeing towards South-West and has a hard surface with some small calcite pebbles. It is very similar to the late mud glacis in J3.
C1	2008-08-02_S802PC.J	pC	today was removed a small piece of the western baulk f69, which was left over to keep the stones of f127: today we decided to remove it because the stones are not in danger to fall down. Removing this piece of brickfall f69, was clear that the glacis f63 ends on the lower stones of f127. Probably the glacis continued also for some cm to the west, because it seems cut by the trench k200: this part was excavated as a trench by the german team of Tübingen; it runs Sud-North (see introduction to J6 and MDOG 134 2002 for more information). In the Eastern section of k200 is possible to see the continuation of the glacis to the south: the indication is that on top of this presumed slope seen in section sits the brickfall ^bf2. Under this line the stratigraphy changes drastically.
C1	2008-08-06_S806PC.J	pC	today we removed the northern part of the East baulk of k84, which is f108
C1	2008-08-16_S816PC.J	pC	today we removed the glacis f63, which has a very hard surface but when removed was platy in structure and reddish in color. It is the same as f107 in k74. Under f63 we found f132, which is another glacis, probably the grey one same as f110 in k85. We decided to remove part of the backfill in k84 North, which is J4k100: this was a deep sounding made in 2006 in J4: we decided to remove part of the backfill to see the limits of the sounding and to see better the East section: the first feature we see in section is J4f150, which was a red accumulation sloping sharply towards South. It is very important because we will find the same feature to the South in k84. It is also one of the reasons to belive that there is the wall f130 in k84 and it falls into the South baulk of J4k100 which is now the North baulk of k84.
C1	2008-08-17_S817CVP.J	cVP	After diggin the "glacis" f132 down the NW corner, it dissapear showing a strip of pebble floor running NS-SW, not even a meter wide, called f140. This also disappear so the NW corner of the square is filled by a soft brown soil called f141. Cutting the glacis and also a part of the pebble floor, an elongated pit filled with ashy soil has been found. The cut is not very deep, some 15 cm, and the bottom is also brown soil. In its interior the ashy filling contained one sealing, a piece of inlaid and a small miniature vessel
C1	2008-08-18_S817CVP.J	cVP	After cleaning all the surface of our area in this square is seen more clearly the dark spot that would be the continuation of the ashy layer f142 in this square. Of course it is just visible in the strip of earth left as a baulk after south of the deep sounding J04.
C1	2008-08-18_S817CVP.J	cVP	Today we clean eveything and make photos of the pebble floor f140, as we are going to remove it. The photos also relate this floor with the one on k85, f135.
C1	2008-08-19_S819PC.J	cVP	First in the morning we clean and photo the situation of the ashy layer f142 in relation with the upper brown one f141. Then we dig f141 trying to find the grey in the SW of the square. We identify the edges of f142 as a round area (maybe a dump?), that we relay and photograph, and later excavate almost completely.
C1	2008-08-21_S824CVP.J	cVP	Still excavating f151. We draw the North section. Tomorrow the workers will come to remove the backfill in k83 so that next Saturday we will be able to remove this N baulk.
C1	2008-08-23_S824CVP.J	cVP	We remove first the North baulk, and then we began to remove the upper part of the East baulk. For the Noeth baulk the workers had already removed the bakfill of k83 (J4) Saturday afternoon, so we have some meter and a half of freed North baulk to dig. We gave one feature number for the baulk but we differentiate the samples coming from the ash shallow pit (f142), 2 q-lots, and one q-item (a bead). We leave the baulk at the level were the backfill still remains. The East baulk we dig by feature, even if considering the upper part, until the first pebble floor, as one feature number, f156, with the first two glacis. The remains of the pebble floor that in k84 we called f140 here we called f157. We clean it, make a photo, and the surveyors relay it. The brown soil is f160, equal to f151 in k84.
C1	2008-08-24_S824CVP.J	cVP	We begin excavating f161. And then we have to give up work because of the weather and come back to the office to work in the UGR.
C1	2008-08-25_S825CVP.J	cVP	Still digging the E baulk. Now the reddish accumulation is considered another feature, f162, and the more red underneath f164. At the beginning of f164 a big stone is found in the north border of the baulk, precisely also under the earth left that supports the stones of f101. It seems to be the wall that we were looking for, the equivalent of f130 from the German trench. Once we reach in the E baulk the level left at the rest of k84 we stop the digging of the baulk and began to work again inside the square. We also draw the small North baulk and take photos.
C1	2008-08-25_S826PC.J	pC	removed the West baulk following the stratigraphy: the top feature is the glacis f156, same as f63; underneath we found a floor surface f157, characterized by a compact surface and many sherds lying flat: probably is the same as f135 in k85 and f140 in k84; under it were only natural accumulations f160, until we get to a red-brownish layer more wet and compact, which is f164: this layer is the same as J4f150 and is a intensive red-orange bricky layer, with sharp boundaries on the upper and lower part. There are some ashy thin layers and all f164 is sloping South-East. we found it also in k84 and we give the same feature number. f164 was covering a stone f163, which is a nice smooth stone and seems in its originary position embedded in f164. f164 was difficult to find, because the accumulation above it, same as f151, is very wet and similar in consistence to f164; therefore we missed part of it, expecially while excavating f151 in k84. We looked in the north section and was clear that we cut the first 15 cm of it. We decided to dig a trench in the eastern part of the square to see it from the section. f164 slopes towasrd South and stops in the northern part of k84. In the East section of J4kf150 (same as f164) is 1 meter thick and slopes sharply South, and were is this sharp slope it became thinner and then disappears in k84. This layer is probably a kind of fill or escarpment located east to the wall f129 in order to protect it and it abuts it (we do not see this contact, but it is obvious that f164 starts on the eastern side of f129). The pottery analyzed from f164 was mostly phase h33 with some sherds phase h23
C1	2008-08-26_S826PC.J	pC	Today we removed f101, which is a concentration of stones in front of the wall f130. Before removing it, there were only 3 stones visible, but when we removed the west baulk of k84, came out other stones belonging to the same feature. f101 is not floating stones but is a wall consisting in 13 stones of different dimensions and quality, which join to each other; we decided to make 3 q-items for 3 stones (stone f101.2, f101.3, f101.4) q276.1, q276.2, q276.3, because this stones were very smooth in one side. We decided to remove f101 because we were removing the west baulk of k84, and doing this we saw that this stones were a kind of 'memory stones' of the wall f130 and covered it. To understand if the wall f130 continues to the East and what kind of construction is, we had to remove f101. Was also useful to date f101 and to understand that is a mittani wall (the pottery between the stones was mixed but mostly mittani). Under the stone f101.9 we fond a nice stone Early Dynastic II seal i17 (v102). we removed the stones with the help of Mohammed Omo and of the crane. some of the stones were partly broken and therefore when they collapsed they broke up in many pieces. We decided to have two different feature number for the pottery: f170 is the pottery found between the stones, and which dates wall f101, instead the pottery found in front of it belongs to a mixture of features and is f169. in front of stone f101.13 there is a floor surface f171 (v108) Once removed all the stones of f101, we found two stones, probably not belonging to f101, therefore we decided to leave them and check tomorrow. One of theese stones is oblique and has a white bluish color. The other stone is layed flat and is in front of f130. Could probably belong to a structure South of the wall f130, to which belongs also the oblique stone f100.
C1	2008-08-27_S826PC.J	pC	Today we first removed f176, which is the remaining part of the accumulation under the stones f101 in the west baulk of k84. We then expose f171, a floor in front of stones f177 and f100, which abuts them; it is located at 8851@top. We found a bronze pin i19 and a bronze spatula i21 in this floor. We remove it all to expose all the stones in front of wall f130 and to expose the floor surface f183. f183 was covered by f174, which is a brown reddish accumulation, mixed with f164, which gives an orange coloration to the feature. f183 is a compact surface sloping south with some sherds lying flat and was found just under f174. We expose it exerywhere in k84. While removing f174 in front of wall f130, we found directly on the stone a bronze nail i20. To expose the East face of wall f130 we decided to cut back the west section of k84. We remove it in feature: first we removed the brickfall f179, then we exposed f180, which is the same as J4f121. at the top elevation of f180, was found a thin layer of ash, which slopes toward South, following the slope of f180. We then removed f181, the top of the equal to J4f150. It is reddish and has patches of the orange of f164. It has two top elevations: the Western is 5 cm higher then the eastern part. Under it we removed f164, the reddish orange fill aganist wall f129, dated to phase h33 by the pottery. We decided to make a small trench in front of stone f177 and f100 in order to expose as much as possible of the two oblique stones. This trench is k102
C1	2009-08-10_T810PC.J	pC	Today I put Hussein and Massuud in k84 removing the natural accumulation f266 which covers the gray brown feature under glacis f164 and also covers a sherd floor which was found in front of obelisks f184 (v114). This accumulation was thinner in the center of the square and in the northen part was not found but only the gray brownish layer under f164 which is f280. At first I thought f280 was the escarpment before f164 but while scraping it with gB and fAB we could say that it is too loose and sandy to be an escarpment but rather an accumulation.
C1	2009-08-10_T810PC.J	pC	Today was finished to remove natural accumulation f266 and under it was found floor f271 which is the same as f184. f271 is a nice floor with sherds liyng flat and while removing it with the small pick was found another surface very similar to the upper one but with fewer sherds. I give one feature number to all this floor even if has many different layers, but while the soil is all sandy and has the same characteristics I keep the same feature number.
C1	2009-08-12_T810PC.J	pC	Today we removed all the floor f273 and under it was exposed a nice sherd pavement (is it the same as the german excavation C2-Inst.879-880?). It is located in the southern portion of k84 and goes against the obelisks f100 and f177. It is mostly composed by sherds and some pebbles (>5 cm) and the soil is sandy garysh. On the surface are visible some bones. It stops at the level of the wall f130 and overlays f280, which slopes toward south. Today we were not able do take a nice view of the pavement and therefore we covered it with plastic and moved in k105.
C1	2009-08-13_T810PC2.J	pC	f277 was all removed to collect all pottery. mKB looked at the sherds in the field and could tell us that was mixed with some painted sherds. This floor is under the level of f164, therefore should be third millennium. After removing f177 we decided with gB and fAB to go down only in front of the obelisks. The new locus is k106

B11	2008-07-13_S707PC.J	pC	k85 is defined by the markers m3813, m3836, m3834, m4719, m3835, m4717, m3830, m3820. k85 is a trapezoidal locus located East of k200. The trench k200 was excavated before and does not follow the excavation grid, being excavated from another team (see k200 for further information)
C1	2008-07-13_S707PC.J	pC	we begin to excavate the top soil which is f2. Then we change number in f3 for the natural accumulation under the top soil, which is 30 cm thick. It is a natural accumulation crumby and soft in texture. It has dark organic bands and roots. The pottery collected has been looked and thrown away, being the first 40 cm.
C1	2008-07-14_S714PC.J	pC	k85 was relayed because it is not a regualr locus but is trapezoidal. Today we excavated f4, which is a natural accumulation with stones >10cm, few pottery sherds. It is soft when picked and fine in texture; in the southern area is more hard and aKarim exposed a part of it. We took the elevation and we decided to change feature number, since the surface expands in all the locus. The new feature is f6, which at the top elevation I defined mud: this surface is irregular and has few pottery sherds and some stones (>5cm). This surface has been photographed (v6 and v6a) and relayed (4 points in the limits of the feature, which corrisponds to the limit of k85: r2, r3, r4, r5). The difference between the feature above, f4, can be seen in section, where f4 is more soft, instead f6 is more compact, fine in texture and clean from pottery sherds. This feature at different levels is characterized by more compact surface, due to the exposure to water. hQ has been looked to the sherds in k85 and her first impression is that there is no interesting sherd, instead in k74 there are more interesting sherds.
C1	2008-07-15_S714PC.J	pC	Today we continue excavating in k85 and in k75. We keep f6 because is still the same accumulation. Then i decided to change the feature number, not because we see a change in the feature, but because we went down for at least 40 cm with the same feature. f8 is very similar to f6, but is darker in color and is more wet. It is characterized by the presence of patches of harder and softer soil, due to the exposure to water. We changed feature in f12, which is the same clay, fine in texture, but has a platy structure when picked. aKarim exposed a small area with the small pick: this feature has a lot of phytoliths and some ashes. This was probably exposed to water and was compacted naturally. Tomorrow we will expose more this area but I don' t give too much importance, because it seems natural: the clay is very clean and with few pottery sherds.
C1	2008-07-16_S716PC.J	pc	Today we keept all the day f12, which is always the same clay, very fine in texture and very soft. It has still very few pottery or stones. The soil comes out in chunks when picked and leaves color on fingers. In the Western area there are some small carbons, and there are still roots. gB observed this feature and finds it very interesting because of the texture and that is so soft. In k85 we expect to find a brick fall at the elevation of 90.00@ or even higher. At the end of the day we cleaned all because we reached the elevation of k84. eA and cJC draw the North section and then Diadin photographed it. Tomorrow we will take down the North section.
C1	2008-07-17_S718PC.J	pC	Today in k85 was removed the North baulk: it is f15 but it includes all features in k85 (f2, f3, f4, f6, f8, f12)
C1	2008-07-19_S719PC.J	pc	Today cJC and dH draw the West section of k85, because we want to remove the baulk. Afterwards we took the view of the section. In k85 we stop excavating, while we remove all the baulk.
C1	2008-07-20_S720PC.J	pC	All the day was removed the West baulk f19: it has all features of k85 and in the Southern part is larger than 1 meter.
C1	2008-07-21_S721PC.J	pC	Today aKarim and Táer finished to remove the West baulk f19. Then he removed f33, which was still very soft when picked and fine in texture, very dusty when removed. They exposed a nice surface of compacted soil with some patches of softer soil: this surface had some sherds liyng flat, some pebbles, ashes and brick crumbles. I decided to expose all and to make a picture, which is v19: a big smooth and flat stone came out under f33. The new feature is f35 and has a lot of pottery and is soft and dusty when removed: there is no clear interface between f33 and f35: the difference is that f35 has more pottery and pebbles and is more reddish.
C1	2008-07-22_S722PC.J	pC	Today we excacated only few cm, because we found a level with a lot of pebbles under f35, which had also lot of pottery and some pebbles. f37 presents a hard surface, with a lot of pebbles, sherds and some animal bones. This is also characterized by the presence of brick crumbles, baked bricks and melted bricks. There are also some ashes. In the South part of the square there is a big stone f40.
C1	2008-07-23_S723PC.J	pC	today we removed the eastern baulk of k85 which is f30 q73: it was left only half of it because was created a ramp for the wheelbarrow.
C1	2008-07-26_S725PC.J	pC	today we cleaned the surface of f37, since was exposed for few days.
C1	2008-07-28_S728PC.J	pc	Today we removed f37, which was exposed since last week, but we decided to leave it since we removed all baulks. In one pickrun were collected 7 bags of pottery in f37, which is Mittani (mKB). f37 was also full of bones, brick crumbles and pebbles. We found several pieces of ancient cement q105.1 in f37. We removed the stone f40 which was resting on top of f37. Probably f37 is a dump coming from the structures in k75, k74, which we are exposing today. f37 covered f60, which is a soft accumulation full of pottery and pieces of gypsum: f60 covered a surface of melted bricks, that today we did not excavated and tomorrow we will give a new feature number.
C1	2008-07-29_S729CJC.J	hQ	we started digging f70 which was not covering the whole locus. Part of the western part of k85 is f60. f70 is divided into 3 parts, the nothern part consists of completed bricks. The eastern part of f70 is divided also into the southern part which is very compact but flat and smooth (probably because of the stone f40 which we removed); and the nothern part is a brick melt.
C1	2008-07-29_S729PC.J	pc	Today we continued to excavate f60, which is an accumulation with some brick melt and is soft when picked. It abuts and covers f70, which is the brickmelt located in the northern and eastern part of the square. We decided to remove the first 10 cm of the brickmelt f70 to see if there is a clear brickfall or structure under it, but in the East part disappeared and continued in the northern. We removed also the northern part and under seems to be a mixture of f60 and f70. This is probably due to the fact that the brickmelt mixes up with other accumulation. Therfore all k85 at the end of the day was uniform of red melted bricks and patches of softer soil. In the southern part of the square there is a complete grind stone, probably still in situ.
C1	2008-07-30_S730PC.J	pc	today we removed only f75, which is the brickfall same as f53 in k84.
C1	2008-07-31_S731PC.J	pc	today we removed the North baulk: i decided toexcavate it in different features, following the stratigraphy we encontered in k85: the first 40 cm are accumulations f81, then there is the brickmelt and brickfall f83. We tried to find f37, the dump with a lot of pebbles and sherds, but we did not find it, therefore i decided to excavate it as brickfall, being all the feature brickmelt and brickfall, same as f75 and f53 f52.
C1	2008-08-02_S802PC.J	pC	Today we removed the upper part of the western baulk f85, which is soft. We decided still to keep the remaing part of the baulk because shows nicely the brickfall. We excavated the brickfall f75 and f86. f75 is the same of f53 and f86 is the same as f55, which covers the glacis f63. At the end of the day we uncovered some large stones.
C1	2008-08-03_S803PC.J	pC	Today we excavated f86, which is the brickfall: it is a soft brown wet soil with big chunks of red and grey bricks whith some carbons and stones. there are some stones f91 sitting in f86: they are 5 stones of >50cm located in a line South-West East-North. Because they sit in the brickfall they come probably from the presumed structure which created the brickfall; we also found two door socket in f86 q153.2. In the Southern part of k85 there is a lens of ash f86, which sits in the brickfall f89. This is characterized by the presence of carbons, brick cumples and vegetal inclusions: we made a sample of this q153.1
C1	2008-08-04_S804PC.J	pC	Today we begin to remove the western baulk: the topmost feature is f94, which is an accumulation full of pottery and pebbles and some stones, same as f37; after removing it we changed feature in f98, which is the brickmelt f70: it is harder and compact. Today we had a camera taking views every 50 cm of the removing of the baulk. This will allow us to see the sequence of the removing and the discovery of the glacis f63 and the wall f130. We also removed part of f90, which is an ashy accumulation under the brickfall. We started to remove it because we thougt that was a lens inside the brickfall, but the East section of k200 shows clearly the relationship between the brickfall and f90, which overlays it
C1	2008-08-05_S805PC.J	pC	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.
C1	2008-08-06_S806PC.J	pC	Today we removed all the brickfall f86 and the ash f90. They cover the glacis f110, but the brickfall overlays the ash. f90 is the same as f97 in k75 and the ash is visible in the East section of k200, where is located under the brickfall.
C1	2008-08-09_S809PC.J	pc	today we finished to remove the East section f114, which is brickfall
C1	2008-08-14_S815PC.J	pC	Today we started to remove the glacis f110 and we found under it a floor surface characterized by sherds lying flat and some small pebbles
C1	2008-08-17_S817CVP.J	cVP	the only operation that has been done in this square today has been the drawing of the West section, in order to be able to excavate the western Baulk tomorrow
C1	2008-08-18_S817CVP.J	cVP	Today we remove the E baulk
C1	2008-08-18_S818PC.J	pC	today we removed the west baulk f145 which is in The upper and northern half brickfall same as f86, in the Southern and lower part is the ashy layer same as f90. It was decided to remove it all as one feature, since the ash was mixed to the brickfall in the middle and was difficolt to distinguish them
C1	2008-08-19_S819PC.J	pC	Today we started in k85: we removed the floor f135 and then the glacis which is located in the western part of the square (f110). Then in all the locus was found a soft brown accumulation with few pottery f148
C1	2008-08-20_S820PC.J	pC	Today we excatated in all the square f148, same feature as yesterday: it is a brown soft accumulation, wet and with lot of organic material, bones and few pottery. Under it we found a surface compacted naturally, where some sherds were lying flat and some small pebbles were on the surface. We called it floor but excavating it was the same accumulation as f148, only was more compact.
C1	2008-08-25_S826PC.J	pC	removed the west baulk f161 which consists in natural accumulations (f148, f154, f158)
C1	2008-08-26_S826PC.J	pC	we removed the north baulk in all one feature f168, which consists in natural accumulations. This baulk was very important because the layers are flat in opposition to the northern portion of k84 were the layers are at 45° slope (see f164). This section marks the beginning of the change in the stratigraphy and therefore we took several pictures of it showing the difference with the West baulk of k84 and J4k100.

B11	2009-01-11_SZ31PC.J	pc	k86 is not a regular locus, but has a trapezoidal form and is very narrow; its shape is due to k200, the trench located West of it. k86 is defined by m4719, m3813, m4807, m4763, m4809, m4762
C1	2008-08-05_S805PC.J	pC	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
C1	2008-08-13_S813PC.J	pC	today we reached the level of the brickfall which is f124. The first pickrun collected a lot of pottery, also big sherds (a mittani conical cup).
C1	2008-08-14_S815PC.J	pC	Yesterday we removed the brickfall f124, which is the same as f86 and f75 in k85. There are fragments of tannur and a lot of stones
C1	2008-08-16_S816PC.J	pC	Today we removed the brickfall f124 and after two pickruns we changed feature in f136: f136 is the same as f124 but there are 14 floating stones sitting in it and the brickfall is more full of bricks. It is the same as f86 in k85. The stones are f137 and are mostly grinding stones and door soket (q218.4, q184.5) but also there were kilin waster. This was coming with the brickfall and the same kind of situation we found in k85 in f86 (stones f91 and in k75 in f82 (stones f96)
C1	2008-08-17_S817PC.J	pC	Today we continued to remove f136, which is the brickfall same as f86 in k85. It overlays the ashy layer f139, which is the same as f90 in k85; both overlay the glacis, same as f110 in k85. We found q218.2 which is a small stone plaque with the inlay of two lions: it seems Early Dynastic
C1	2008-08-17_S817PC.J	pC	Today we finished to remove f131, which was an accumulation full of pottery and pebbles. It is very similar to f37 in k85, which is 50cm higher: it is probably the same feature which slopes toward south and was find mostly in k85, some in k74 and k84 (f38, f42, f43) in k75 and in k86 only in section; from k86 was collected a lot of pottery at the beginning of f124. I belive that is a kind of dump coming after the brickfall: it was found everywhere above the brickfall. under f131 we found the brickfall f143 to the South, instead to the North still f131. the brickfall slopes also towards south, as all the accumulations in j6, probably following the slope of the mound. After removing all f131 we were able to see everywhere the brickfall f143. We removed the big stone f133 and in the southern part of the locus, in the corner came out what seemed to be a mudbrick wall with East-South North-west orientation. We removed the brickfall aganist it and we saw 3 lines of bricks. The probable wall is only 1 meter visible and the remaining part was removed by the excavation of 2002 in the trench operation, which is now k200 (see introduction to J6).
C1	2008-08-18_S818PC.J	pC	Today was removed all the brickfall f136 which overlayed the ashy layer f139. Once removed all it was compleatly exposed the glacis f138, which is similar to the glacis f118. We then begin to remove the northern baulk after drawing it. It is f146 and is the brickfall same as f136. We had at the end of the day another shaffat in k86 to remove the dirt coming from this area.

C1	2008-08-06_S806PC.J	pC	today we started remove the first 1.50m: we remove it with the big pick and by pushing the dirt into k200. We treat it as a baulk, therfore we assign one feature each 2m.
C1	2008-08-14_S815PC.J	pC	Yesterday we removed the North baulk of k87. We decided not to draw it, but only to make a good view and template it. It is only natural accumulations.
C1	2008-08-16_S816PC.J	pC	Today we removed f116 and we found under it f131 which is a soft accumulation full of pottery: could be the same as f137 or f135 in k85.
C1	2008-08-18_S818PC.J	pC	Today was removed all the brickfall f143, except for the presumed wall f144. Under the brickfall was found f147, which is a compact surface with some sherds and small pebbles. Tomorrow i will check it better.

B11	2008-07-19_S719HQ.J	hQ	k100 is located in area C2(Schicht 16-German excavation area). It belongs to J6, being the structures related to J6 area and temple terrace.
B11	2008-12-31_SZ31PC.J	pC	k100 is a locus located in area C2 and was already excavated in previous years by the german team directed by Peter Pfälzner (see publications in MDOG for further information). This part of the tell is residencial, except for a stone structure, which in our assumption (gB and fAB) belongs to the temple area. Therefore we decided to better explore the stone structure this year. Being this area statigraphically connected to area J6, and located a few meters south of it, was decided to be documented under J6 book and supervision.
C1	2008-07-19_S719HQ.J	hQ	we started working in k100 first assigning to all the area one feature which was the top soil f20, which had lot of sherds; after removing the top soil we assigned in k100 4 features which are f23,f24,f25,f26. After removing the top soil f20, we started with f23. f23 is located in the south west edge of k100 and is a natural accumulation of a soft brown soil; in this feature we found seal impressions. Then we started cleaning f24. f24 consists in a wall running from east to west and abuts wall f23 from the south and f25 from north. We moved to f25 which is a dark brown soft soil which contains some stones touching f24 in some points. Then we moved to f26 which is a soft soil with some sherds and plant roots and is covering what it last from k100.
C1	2008-07-20_S720CJC.J	hQ	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.
C2	2008-12-31_SZ31PC.J	pC	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.
C99	2008-12-31_SZ31PC.J	pC	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.

The first f107 is red and hard, then there is a grey hard layer, which is probably the same as f110 in k85. under this we found a baqaya layer, but still to confirm. We give no feature number to all this layers, because we still do not understand the stratigraphy: in the next days we will give a number. In the northern part of k101 there is a layer softer and full of pottery. we hypotized that was a pit and it is f126. In the North-West corner there is some baqaya

C1	2009-07-25_T722YM.J	yM	Today we started by cleaning the erea and then we took pictures of the k104 section because we are planning removing the stones f197 of the bin a7 and also excavating the pit f192, located under it. In order to remove the stones we removed first the back fill behind them; then we removed the stones and gave them a feature number f197 and continued removing the back fill. We excavated the soil around the stones together with some of the soil under them and kept the same feature number, which is f196. During the second work period we took pictures to show the situation after the stone removal, and then we started excavating the pit f192 that contained a big amount of pottery, but we did not reach the buttom of it yet. This work will be continued and probably finished tomorrow.

In order to remove the stones we removed first the back fill behind them; then we removed the stones and gave them a feature number f197 and continued removing the back fill.

This work will be continued and probably finished tomorrow.
C1	2009-07-26_T725PC.J	pC	today we continued to remove the pit fill f192 and we found a new feature in the same pit f200: f200 is located in the latest 20 cm of the pit and is characterized by the presence of ash lenses and some red lenses wich are probably pieces of feature f164, into wich pit cut f199 was dug. In the fill of the pit we found other tannur pieces and a lot of pottery, which was sended to mKB to analyze. The pottery dates mostly Phase 4 but there are several Mittani sherds which date the pit to Mittani. This means that the pit was dug directly into 3rd Millennium strata f164. f164 in this area is very high, while is sloping.
C1	2009-07-27_T725PC.J	pC	today we removed accumulation under stones f203, which covers a compacted surface which was interpreted as a floor f204, probably same as glacis f63 or floor f140. This surface covers the pit f192. We removed f204 and we started removing the remaining portion of the pit fill f192, which is always the same as the previuos day: is full of pottery, bones, tannur pieces, lot of objects, two sealings and some bricks.
C1	2009-07-28_T725PC.J	pC	today we continued to remove the fill of pit f192. As in the previous days we removed one stone of the bin f197 and we found a natural accumulation 5 cm thick and then floor f206, wich is the same as f204. directly under the floor f206 we found the continuation of pit f192. f192 is full of pottery, tannur pieces and some ashes. After removing this part of the pit we could see that the pit conutinues under the stones f201 to the north. Therefore we decided to change strategy and to continue excavating to the north in k82.
C1	2009-08-01_T722YM.J	yM	Today we continued excavating the pit f129 which we are approaching from the south to the north very sloly in an atempt to follow the red layer that runs under it f164. we also found a broken tannur f220 within the pit fill, that was removed after taking a picture of it. pC and sD drew the north section of k72 before we started removing the baulk to its north to try and uncover the line of stones runing north of it and forming an angle under the west part of the baulk and which we presume its the continuation of the revetment wall as m Omo suggested. this change of strategy is going to give us the chance also to follow the glacis layer that was discoverd last season. it will also allow us to find out if this presumed wall is in fact the eastern boundary of temple terrace. during the second work period, the excavation of the pit f192 continued in k104 until reching f200 which is also fill. on the other hand in k71 we started removing the surface of the baulk f223 which is a natural accumulation. in k73 we leveled the northen section which is actually a mud brick wall and sD and yM drew it because we are planing on removing the mud brick wall soon and the whole bin a7 eventually.
C1	2009-08-02_T802PC.J	pC	Today we removed the last 5 cm of f200, which should be the bottom of the pit f199. Directly under f200 I reconized a bricky lens f226 in the northern corner, abutting wall f129. I scraped it ad was melted brick material. I decided to change feature number because was not similar to f200, even if f200 has also some pieces of bricks. f226 is a red bricky soil, compact and wet which comes out in chunks with brick fragments. It is still unclear if f226 is inside the pit f199 or under it: tomorrow we will finish to remove f226 and clear if it is part of the pit or not. In the northern portion of the locus, while removing f226 came out a line of stones f227, perpendicular to f129, but almost 1 meter deeper than wall f129. It is located also 70 cm under the line of stones f201,which we thought was the revetment wall.
C1	2009-08-02_T804YM3.J	yM	Today we are starting by moving the baulk around the floating stones f225 that we are going to relay in order to be able to remove them. while we continued excavating in k104 we came arose a brick layer in the western part of the locus and covering the red material f164. while removing this layer f226 approaching it form the south to the north. we found two rows of stones on top of each other that could be part of the presumed continuation of the revetment wall. the difference in elevation between the top row of stones f197 that we presumed at the beginning that its the continuation of the revetment wall and this new rows of stones f227 is very big (72cm) compels us to keep in mind the possibility of this not being a wall and that f197 stones are not memory stones. further excavations will give us the ability to clear. we excavated also the north east corner of k104 where we had accumulations until we reached the wall f227, but we didn not see any sign of stones in the eastern section.
C1	2009-08-03_T803PC.J	pC	Today we continue to remove f226 and reached the bottom of the pit. Yesterday a thought that the bottom of the pit was f200, but today I recognized that under the bricky layer f226 there is f164 which is still cut. Therefore f226 is still part of the pit cut f199. f226 had some patches of ashy soil in the center of the square and characterized by the presence of some white small pebbles (>1 mm). We excavated also the eastern portion of the square f231, left over in the previous days because we thought that the pit was cutting some feature in this part of the square, but after removing f231, which was a bricky melted layer, I recognized that was the same as f200 and still the fill of the pit. In fromt of wall f227 was found under f226 a new feature which is not the glacis f164. After observing it well at first with fAB we thought that it was the foundation trench for the wall f227, while it seems that f164 is cut to put stones f227 and f232 should be the filling. after looking well the south section of k104 I could recognize that f232 is the same feature as the one under f164 (same as J4f158, excavated in J4k100 in season MZ19), which slopes gently to the south and therefore should reach the wall f227. If we will continue to dig in k104 we should know if this is the same feature. whith gB and fAB we decided to stop digging in k104 and instead level the southern section of k104, which is still irregular from the excavation of MZ19. We decided to dig it in features while the piece to level is 40 cm whide. f235 is the grey glacis under f164, which should be the same as f232. It is a grey soft layer with pieces of melted bricks. After circa 30 cm there was a change, visible also in section and therefore I decided to change feature number: f237 is under f235, probably also a glacis, as f164 and f235 with the function to protect walls f129 and f227. It is a reddish bricky layer, wet and soft.
C1	2009-08-16_T816PC.J	pC	Today we started the sounding east of wall f129, which is almost 1 meter whide. first was removed f164, which was very soft and dusty on the top and after 30 cm became chuncky and very red. Under it was f296 which is the same as f235 (excavated in the north baulk of k104, and under it was found f297, where stones f299 sit. f297 is a mixed ashy and soft accumulation. Wall f299 is composed by 2 large sones in line perpendicular to wall f129
C1	2009-08-18_T818YM.J	yM	today we continued excavating the tow remaining features in k104 which are f318 the red layer full of inclusions and f320 which is a compacted floor surface type b. by removing these tow features we now reached the level of the late calcolithic sounding.After a discussion with gB and faB we decided to scrape underneath the last stones that we see in order to find the rest of stones of wall f129. by scraping back the section under the stones we realized by doing a nail test that the stones are very deep so we stopped and gave up on the idea, for reasons that has to do with the safety of the wall and conservation issues.

I99	2009-07-27_T725PC.J	pC	The pit was cut into f164 and probably dates to the same period as pit f140, which is located a meter to the south and is also a shallow pit filled with ashy soil. The two pits are located under the stones of the bin f201. They are probably related to some activities north and east of the staircase: the fact that f199 contains a lot of phase4 sherds let me thing that next to J6 there is a Phase 3 structure.

C1	2009-08-13_T815YM.J	yM	today we continued going down in the eastern part of the locus trying to reach the level of the late calcolithic sounding. In order to do that we removed f289 which is a floor surface under f287. this floor surface is highly compacted and breaks off in big chunks that crumbles in to soft wet soil. This feature like the one previous to it is also sloping down in its southern part towards the south. After finishing the removal of this feature we removed the feature below it f290 which is so similar to the previous one but contains ashy material and lots of roots, phytoliths and pieces of carbon that w collected. This feature has a very strong brown color, and by removing it we now reached the level of the late calcolithic sounding. The last step we did to day was removing the remaining part of the eastern part of k105 which is a small baulk north the LC sounding and south of the northern section in k105. we removed it also to the level of the LC sounding as one feature f294 and we collected the pottery as a mix.
C1	2009-08-16_T816PC.J	pC	Today we did not excavated in k105 but on the top of it which is still k104
C1	2009-08-16_T817YM.J	yM	yesterday we decided with gB and faB to cut the safety baulk in k105 east of wall f129 in order to see the other face of wall f129. so we started removing 80cm starting from the southern section in k104 and going south. First we removed the red glacis layer that was ranging between drays and grainy on top and compacted close to the bottom. Then we removed the second layer which is f296 a soft ashy accumulation layers. Then we removed the following feature f297 which was an ash mixed with accumulation in the middle layer. Stone f299 that was visible before we began this removal was cutting along with the new found stone next to it (also f299) the accumulation layer inside the ash but resting in the ash layer. After a short discussion with gB and faB we decided to enlarge the cut that we made a little bit more to be able to excavate around the stones from the south to see if we find more stones but we didn’t so continued with our plan by removing the stones f299 and the ashy layer under f297. Tomorrow we will continue on until reaching the level of the late calcolithic sounding.
C1	2009-08-17_T817YM.J	yM	today we picked up where we left yesterday by removing the fourth layer of the safety baulk which is an accumulation layer f305 that is a very soft sandy loam. Then we removed f307 that was under it which is also a bricky ashy mixed layer of accumulations. As going down uncovering the other face of the wall, it was very noticeable that the stones of the other face sticks out more then the stones in the rows that where previously uncovered during this season, this is maybe done on prepuce. But will have to excavate more in order to have a clearer perspective about this issue. We continued with the removal of f308 that is under f307 which is a wt strong brown compacted layer. The next layer that we removed was f311 which is a thin compacted accumulation layer on top of a hard floor surface f313. when we reached f313, in the north western corner next to wall f129, we came across a small pit or a foundation trench f316 as we hypostatized at the beginning. By excavating it we where able it tells that it are just a lens. So we carried on with the excavation removing the following layer f317, a thin hard surface that consist of clay loam. We stopped here for today and tomorrow we will remove the last few layers uncovering the entire face of wall f129. due to the fact that under the 3 rows of wall stones that where uncovered today there was no more stones we are going to think about cutting back about 10cm under the last stones to uncover the unveil the rest. Because we where able to tell that there are more stones under there by inserting a long nail in the section under the last stones. Tomorrow we will be able to determine.

B11	2009-08-13_T810PC2.J	pC	k106 is a small locus located in front of the obelisks f100 and f177, located where k102 was. We changed locus number because we did not know where excacly the old locus was. k106 is defined from relays r557, r558, r559, r560.
B11	2009-08-13_T810PC2.J	pC	k106 is located in the souther portion of k104 (old k83) and continues the deep sounding of J4k100. The goal in k106 is to find the Late Chalcolithic levels. in J4f160 were mixed sherds with LC pottery
C1	2009-08-13_T810PC2.J	pC	Yesterday after removiang in all k84 floor f277 we concentrated excavating only in k106 in front of the obelisks. The goal here is to reach the salmon colored floor found in all J2 in front of the apron. This floor is seen in the east section of k200 and we srill have 40 cm to reach it. Under f277 is f286
C1	2009-08-13_T810PC2.J	pC	Yesterday we continued excavating in k106 strating with f281 which is the first 5 cm of accumulation probably contaminated by exposure and assigned also to the cleaning of the sections. f285 is a natural accumualion, soft, wet and dark gray in color; a seal impression i28 was found in this accumulation. Under f285 was exposed the first sloping surface which is f284. f284 slopes sharply to the south-east and in surface was compact and with phytolits. f284 was fotographed and removed. while picked it has a blocky structure has some pieces of gypsum and bakaya. Under f284 was exposed at the end of the day another feature f287, which has the same slope of f184 and is at the highest point from m6218 +102-140 and the lowest is from m6218 +77-140 high.
C1	2009-08-13_T815YM.J	yM	in k106 we went down further more removing  an accumulation layer f291 which was hard, flaky and dry. It was a thin layer covering the next layer of accumulations f292 which is a much softer layer that broke I to fine sand ones hit with the pick. This layer was much thicker then the previous one f291 but still a part of the many living floors that we have in that area. Tomorrow we will continue going down until we reach the salmon layer that we are connecting to the staircase and apron constructing period. We should reach that goal by tomorrow.
C1	2009-08-16_T816PC.J	pC	today was finished to remove natural accumulation f292 which is a soft accumulation and covers f303, a compact flacky surface f303: this should be above the salmon floor seen in section.
C1	2009-08-16_T817YM.J	yM	we started working today in this locus by removing accumulation layer f292 in which we found many seeds that we took as samples to be analyzed. This feature contained many layers due to the fact that it’s a living floor. It was soft on the top and got slightly harder on the bottom. This feature removal took all day because we removed it very slowly and carefully using the small pick and the brush in order to be able to notice any changes.
C1	2009-08-17_T817YM.J	yM	today we removed in this locus the feature that follows f292 which is f303 a floor type d. it’s a hard compacted layer that softens slightly as going down an then it becomes very hard  but easy to flack right on top of the salmon layer f312. after having removed this layer we finally reached the salmon layer f312.
C2	2009-08-13_T810PC2.J	pC	The goal in k106 is to find the Late Chalcolithic levels. in J4f160 were mixed sherds with LC pottery, therefore we should be not far from LC strata
C2	2009-08-16_T816PC.J	pC	Tomorrow will be reached the goal for k106, which is to find the salmon floor in front of obelisks

B11	2008-07-20_S720CJC.J	cJC	J6k200, extending from the large open area excavated by the germans in the south to the bottom of the staircase in J02 in the north
B11	2009-01-11_SZ31PC.J	pc	k200 is not a normal locus and belongs to J6 only because we decided to clean it and the pottery and earth was collected from J6 team. k200 corresponds to the german trench which was excavated by the Team of the University of Tuebingen in years 1998-2002; Pfaelzner MDOG 131, 1998). It is located directly west of J6 unit and is a long trench 2 meters wide and several meters long (for more exact location and measurement see the above publication)
C1	2008-07-20_S720CJC.J	cJC	fAB and gB decided to have J6k200 cleaned out and so it was assigned to area J06 with the locus k200. This locus was given to keep the area seperate from the k100 area. gB and fAB suggested that all of the dirt removed be assigned to one feature (f29) which will be defined as topsoil. Fifteen new workmen were assigned to the area. mO removed all the dangerous stones and loose dirt from the sides of the trench for the workmen's safety. Because the trench is so deep a zambil chain was formed to move the dirt from the bottom out to where it could be placed in the wheelbarrows. There was a shortage of shovels and so fAB bought us 3 new shovels which we recieved after breakfast. About 1/3 of the trench was cleaned before breakfast. After breakfast the workmen had moved too far north in the trench to maintain the zambil chain and so mO installed a shafat. An oblique angle was cut into the east side of the trench to accomodate the shafat. Another large stone was also removed. The installation of the shafat took awhile and slowed down work in the area. After the installation of the shafat not all the workmen were needed in k200 and so 4 were moved to clean the area in front of the revetment wall in J2. Some large stones at the bottom of the trench were moved to make room for the workmen to work.
C1	2008-07-21_S721PC2.J	cJC	Today worked continued cleaning k200, J6k200. Two of the 15 workmen were given to the main excavation area of J06 and so only 13 continued work in k200. In the morning there were some problems with the shafat and so work in the morning was slow. fAB came to J06 to discuss the work for the workmen. He assigned 3 workmen to remove the dirt pile from k100. Two workmen (Abdullah and Muhammed) were assigned as pickmen in the bottom of the trench to level the area. Three other workmen served as shovel-men, with 2 working bottom of the shafat and the other 1 \shoveling the dirt towards the shafat. The remaining 3 workmen did assorted jobs, relieving the shovelmen occassionally and cleaning the area in front of the revetment wall in J02. There were also 2 wheelbarrow-men. It was decided that the area closest to the stairs would not be cleaned today due to dangerous overhanging stones and because there were other workmen working near the top of the section.
C1	2008-07-23_S723EA.J	cJC	Today there were 13 workmen and they continued cleaning k200. They are still picking the bottom to level the bottom all off. By breakfast they had reached south to where the shafat is. After breakfast they continued to work south of the shafat to make it all level. When they reach the southern opening of the trench they will stop. They have also removed all the dirt pile left over from J2k100. Work continues at a steady pace. Today they had a tent after breakfast.
C1	2008-07-26_S727CJC.J	cJC	Today we had 12 workmen. They continued leveling and cleaning the bottom of the German trench. Before breakfast they finished cleaning the south part of the trench. The workmen uncovered a tannur. This means we have reached (and passed) the bottom level of the German excavations. I consulted with gB and we stopped work in this area until we can decide what to do with the tannur. Right now there are no markers with which to take relays or elevations so we left the tannur in place until bP can install some markers or control points. After breakfast the workmen began clearing the northern part of the trench near the staircase but the shafat was not working and we had a shortage of wheelbarrows so the work was very slow. After 12pm 3 workmen moved to the main area of J06 to help finish removing the baulks. Today's q-lot was q86.
C1	2008-07-28_S728HQ.J	cJC	Today the goal was to finish cleaning the area of the trench. Near the north end of k200 was a large pile of stones buried under some dirt and mixed with plastic and other modern materials. These stones are presumably backfill from the previous excavations in the trench. I consulted with fAB in the morning and he suggested they be removed and piled in the J02 area so they could be removed at a later date. The stones were removed and the rest of the dirt was moved out of k200 via the shafat. The workmen finished cleaning right before the end of the day. In the morning bP came and made measurements of the tannur in the southern end of the trench so that it would not need to be relayed. The tannur will probably be added to the J07 book instead of J06 when J07 is opened. Tomorrow I think we will stop working in k200.
C1	2008-08-14_S815PC.J	pC	Yesterday we removed the dirt which was coming from k86 and k87, but also from J7. We had the shaffat and the crane which carryed a big zanbil. We had Ahnuar who supervised the work and 7 workmen in the trench, whith 4 on the top of k200.
