Overview

The excavations in A12 began with seven 5x5m loci from A10 (k13-k19) transferred to A12 and numbered k1-k5, k7 and k11). An additional 12 loci were added to these, through k22. There were an additional 13 loci over the next four seasons, through MZ16. These were primarily inside of Building W and dictated by the shape of the abi.

Loci k100 an k101 were assigned post-excavation.

The estimated contributions from the above are:
  k1 thru k5 and k11 thru k15 - (25sqm) x (2m) x (10loci) = 500 cubic meters
  k91 thru k94 - (12.5sqm) x (1m) x (4sq) = 50 cubic meters.
  loci 100 and 101 - nothing.
  loci 21 thru 25 - nothing.

The total volume of soil removed was 550 cubic meters.
