a32 uk V13d1054 k22 mkb mentioned that the pottery that was washed from the excavation of f307 and f308 appeared to be very early, Early Simple Ware. That would place this accumulation in Phase 1, Sr 18, the pre-palace phase. This is very interesting because it indicates that the apsidal structure a22 might not have been in use in the palace period because the accumulation pre-dates the AK occupation. It should be noted that this is a preliminary consideration because the pottery sample wasn't large enough to be conclusive, nor was the processing finished. We spoke about this with gb, and he suggested that the structure might not have been visible during the AK occupation. This morning jl, lr, ed and I spoke about all of these possibilities, and lr thought that it was unlikely that this structure wasn't visible because structure W was so close to the surface, and the brick fall and gully wash dip into the apsidal structure.
