k 5
dy continued to excavate the far northern part of the north baulk, which directly abuts the palace walls.

k 4
dy extended operations in k5 east to the corresponding region of this locus.  Surface is a mixture of loess and loose soil remaining after excavations of the AK wing of the palace.

ns Mixture of rims and bases from Phases 6,4 and 3 in q456.  Therefore we conclude that the material we are encountering is still gully wash, confirmed by finds of plastic sheeting and other modern material over 100cm beneath the surface which is covered with vegetation.
