Notes on time sequencing 2004-07-29 jw Now that the north minibaulk and the east baulk of k5, the east baulk of k4 and the north baulk of k14 have been removed, it is clear that this feature, which slopes down from north to south and was at least partially contained by the southern mound of reddish accumulation, f244, in k14, was formed by the immediate use of the surface of the residue from remodeling of the AK wing of the palace during Phase 3b. Initially there does not seem to have been any attempt to level the surface and jw's notion that a number of jars and cups rested on a floor after a temporary abandonment must be carefully re-examined. It seems equally likely that the surface was in use for an extended time and that the jars were either being repaired (several piles of bitumen were found along the north side) or that they were individually left over this large outdoor area after being broken in use and were subsequently covered by loess carried in by the wind.
