ph This is the final photo of k11.  It shows the western end of A12 in the foreground.  The main focus for k11 (and k1) is to understand the relationship between the api (A12) and the platform (area X), as well as between A14 and the wall of palace AP.  v97a is a view looking diagonally across the locus to the northeast, to better show its lower, southern part (which is partly obscured in the main view by the southern baulk of the locus).

ph This is the final photo of k89.  k89 was originally opened to explore the relationship between A14 and the southern wall of the palace AP.  Most of the material that we removed from this locus this season was modern, deposited over the course of excagation in AP and A12 in previous seasons (a major dirt-remogal path originally led through this area).

ph This is the final photo of the small structure, a11.  We still don't know what the purpose of a11 was.  It is apparently a small central platform with a clay object, perhaps a hearth, on it (f132), surrounded on at least three sides by a clay brick wall.  Hopefully, future excagations will clarify its purpose.

ph This final photo is a closeup of the while layers in the northwest of k1 (f161)/the northeast of k2 (f160).  Although it is difficult to see any trace of the white in this photo, each of the layers of soil in this mass had a layer of white material on it.  Presumably, the white is still preserved in the areas still covered by soil.  We still don't know for certain what the cause of the white layers was, but gb has hypothesized that they are the remains of a series of reed mats associated with the platform area X.
