	2001-07-08	jlw	gb and mkb visited to discuss some preliminary ideas on stratigraphy, particularly as pertains to the Khabur period we expect to see in the upper strata. Based on the various building phases and cuts of earlier architecture by later structures they believe that the walls and floors, for example f230, in k10, the lowest level excavated this season could be assigned to Phase 4a. The k11 architecture, including walls, platforms and floor, f247, are probably Phase 4b. The large pit, a29, in the north baulk of k11 and the south part of k21, where we found the first Khabur sherd this season, is probably Phase 5a. The platform a25, the stone pavement f205 in k21, and the wall foundation f225 in k11 and k21 are most likely Phase 5b. To clarify the nature and extent of the platform, gb suggested that we clean k31 to the north of a25, where it may be better preserved. [Input: L708JLW.j]
