dy Today we are excavating in f75, the accumulation above a floor surface. We followed the brick apron f85 down to the bottom and found large stones and then a large pebble and sherd pavement, f86. We are continuing to excavate in this accumulation to uncover the whole extent of the floor. Right now there is a patch of f71, probably the same floor in k12, and a large patch in k11 that are not yet contiguous. There might also be a connection to the north in A16 where there is a compacted floor surface with very small pebbles and sherds.

dy Today we excavated a small area in the E baulk of k1, where the end of wall f7 was particularly unclear. We cut back to the perceived line of the wall, but then saw that it did seem to continue further southwards. This wall continues to the line of the wadi bed, f40. It also has a single brick which forms a corner to the east.

sg The initial strategy in this area is to excavate the accumulation in the doorway and to excavate the ac south of wall f43 until the level of the floor f71 and floor f53. We also will take a picture of f67, the compacted mud above f70, and then excavate it. This should clarify whether f70 is a drain or a stone foundation of a compacted mud wall or installation. 
dy We began excavating in f44, south of wall f43 and within 10 cm found a floor surface. There is also a door socket that is embedded in wall f42. Although this appears to be a door socket, it has quite a large hole and appears to be very similar to the one in the floor f71 that could also be a basin. We excavated f67, the compacted mud, and found a row of large stones beneath it. It is unusual that beneath this feature there is a single row of large stones, whereas to the south (the portion of f70 which was visible before) there is a double row of smaller stones with a space between them that looks very much like a drain. We also excavated in f78 to find a floor surface associated with walls f31 and f13. In 10 cm of excavation there was no floor yet found.

sg To continue excavating the accumulation in this square and find the extent of the hard layer continuing westwards from k4 and the stones below.
dy After excavation in this area, it is clear that the hard accumulation covers half of the square diagonally, from the NE corner to the SW corner. Beneath this ac is a patch of sherd pavement and then the large stones which continue from the south, excavated as A12.
