-sg based on analysis of accumulations in Area 2 to the west and the limited amount of remaining excavation time we are going to focus our attnention in the last three weeks on A9k1 and A9k2 as well as the region to the immediate south that was partially excavated as part of A6. Working with A2 we hope to find the reception areas associated with the fomal entrance to the far west being excavated by A7.  As a result, we will level A9k3 to an elevation of about 8537, then suspend work there in favor of concentrating on full excavation of A9k1 and A9k2.
