we opened the day to take the relays of the new locus k23 corners; r538 to r541. Then, Ali and Tariq removed the top soil,,f274, c#10YR6/4, co light yellowish brown. About 20 cm under the top soil, it was possible to know the same accumulation in the East half of k23, f274, and in the south of the West half, c#10YR6/3 co pale brown. In the NW corner we found a very interesting layer of clean ground, c#10YR7/3, co very pale brown, within stones and sherds, pb, f278, looking like the f196 of k22. We decided to take both the elevations to compare them. Then Ali and Tariq cleaned all the locus. [Input: L707VP.j] |

we took the relays of the perimeter of f278 in the NW corner of k23. Then Tariq and Ali removed that feature, where found a very big quantity of pottery, 5 q-lots. We saw that all the pottery from here shows a white very thin film on the surface. We tried to see if the pottery flat on the ground in the f196 ,NE corner of k22, shown the same film too. It was possible to see that film. We decided to ask Prof. Castelletti, the botanical specialist, to investigate. Ali and Tariq removed all the f278 and cleaned the area. They left some stones between the W section and the locus. [Input: L708VP.j] |

Ali and Tariq started to dig with the big picks the accumulation f276, under the top soil f274 of k23. The whole locus shown the same accumulation c#10YR6/3 co pale brown, middle hardness, enough clean. At the end of the day, it was possible to see some bricks running NS in the NW quadrant of the locus, visible on the N section too, f288. jlw and vp decided to wait the new day for a better test of them after they dried out.

Ali and Tariq dug in k23; they started to dig the a f276,in the south half of locus and continued in the north half too. About 10cm down they found two different groups of bones; the first one, just animal bones q773 was in the SE quadrant and the second one, bones and fragments of cooking pots with traces of firing q776, north of the first one. vp took the elevation of both. In the same time, after an in-depth test of f288, vp and Tariq decided that there weren't bricks, but just a very hard accumulation. The whole locus shown the same accumulation. [Input: L712VP.j] |

resumed excavating in this locus in accumulation, f276. Uncovered a new accumulation, f303, beneath it in the eastern half. [Input: L923JW2.j] |

at the beginning of the workday, jlw noticed that there was a N-S line in the west part of the locus that seemed to demarcate the darker accumulation, f304 , from the lighter material associated with wall, f288, which appears to be a late, one-brick-wide addition to an earlier, more substantial structure. Tariq excavated carefully and may have exposed the west face of a badly deteriorated wall, or a foundation. In addition, he found regular, alternating patches of red and gray brick-like material in the south along the span of the wall. [Input: L716JLW.j] |
| Strategy (projected or implemented) |
2001-07-07 |
vp |
we will start to dig the new locus, k23. Ali and Tariq will dig there. [Input: L707VP.j] |
| 2001-07-08 |
vp |
we will remove the pb, f278, in k23. Ali and Tariq will dig there. [Input: L708VP.j] |
| 2001-07-10 |
vp |
we will continue to dig all the locus. Ali and Tariq will dig here. [Input: L712VP.j] |
| 2001-07-11 |
vp |
we will continue to dig on k23, to look for some new evidences about the bricks on the NW quadrant f288. Ali and Tariq will dig there. We will open a new locus on the east, k15. We will draw two sections of the NE corner of k11: Castro will draw them. [Input: L712VP.j] |
