Recovery/Assignment

Roster Date Author Record
Daily notes about recovery of elements 2001-06-12 lR While observing k7, several lines were visible on the Tell's surface. We gently scraped the eroded soil away with a trowel, which exposed that these lines were three mud-brick walls forming a structure, which we have labeled as a3. Currently we are not certain of the width of f18 since we cannot find the edge to the North because of all the brickfall in the area. We do know that the southern face of this wall is very smooth and appears plastered. [Input: L630TR.j]
