.bk A09 .fl L620jlw.j .fd report on cleaning activities in MZ13 .ei jlw .ed L620 .rd K724 .ri jlw -sg we want to remove the backfill and covering from the open portions of the palace courtyard (k3, k4, k5 and k6) to facilitate the palace survey project and to prepare the entire excavated portion of the palace for aerial photography, which could not be accomplished at the end of MZ12. -sg we also need a good drawing of the entire A9 excavated area. This was not accomplished in MZ12 either. It should identify all features. We could also use a good drawing of the major features and aggregates, for example both doorways. -wk Suliman and 2 others in support began on K723. Later joined by Faris and 7 others for the rest of that day through K724. -dy work proceeded routinely without incident. All covering and backfill removed. Removed a one cubic meter residual platform from the north edge of the western extension of the major east-west wall, f125, between sectors B and F. It was located 7 meters west of the west face of stub wall, f172. See drawing A9w29. Removed small pillar of residual accumulation from the north side of wall system f125/f172, to expose brickwork.
