| -daily | -inc | 2008-07-20 | Removed the following baulks today; north k3, east k2, east k12, east k13. The purpose for removing the section after only a meter down was to connect f27 which is present in all 5 loci. The sections will be restrung after photographs are taken. By the end of the day, all the sections were removed with f27 continuing throughout. k2 north section was not removed. This decision was based on trying to understand the relationship between the ashy accumulation f10 and f27. Leaving the north section will profile these features. [Input: S720LR.j] |
| -daily | -inc | 2008-07-21 | Photographed f27, brick melt layer this morning after the sections baulks between the loci were removed. The photograph shows nicely the extent of this layer, linking five loci together. After the photographs were taken, A20 met to discuss how to proceed. It was decided to string two trenches, one in k13 running on west to east next to the north section, and another in k3 running north to south next to the east section. These trenches serve to see what is beneath the brick melt while also giving a sectional view in north k13 and east k3. [Input: S721LR2.j] |
| -daily | -inc | 2008-07-22 | continued to remove f27 brick melt today [Input: S722LR.j] |
| -daily | -inc | 2008-07-23 | Excavated k2, k3, k14, and k15 today. In k2 and k3, excavations were centered on removing the ashy accumulations spread throughout both these loci. [Input: S723LR.j] |
| -daily | -inc | 2008-07-27 | Day off from the field, concentrating on updating the UGR [Input: S729LR.j] |
| -daily | -inc | 2008-07-29 | Proceeded with excavations in k12, k13, and k14. A small trench was cut south of the north section in k12 to understand the bricky material f52. The ashy accumulation f24 was also excavated in k12. In k13, the eastern half of the locus was excavated to see if the wall f41 continued to run towards the east. In k14, the western half of the locus was excavated west of the stone installation/wall and sherd pavement. A cobblestone pavement was found f61. [Input: S729LR.j] |
| -daily | -inc | 2008-07-30 | spent the entire day removing sections today. The south section of k2 and k3 was removed, technically the north section of A18, to provide a horizonatal view of A20 in association to A18. The north section of k2 will eventually be removed tomorrow. In k15, the south section was removed, part of A19 north, but subsumed by A20 and given new feature numbers.. [Input: S731LR.j] |
| -daily | -inc | 2008-08-02 | Removed the majority of the north section of k2 and the east section k13. f58 in k14 was excavated down to the level of f62 and k4 was opened today. [Input: S802LR.j] |
| -daily | -inc | 2008-08-04 | k2, k12, k14, k15, k4, k3 open today. The entire area was photographed this morning in order to remove the latest strata and proceed to excavate to the level of A18 storehouse. Finished removing the east section of k14, excavated the ash in k2 f22, defined the bricks in k12 f52, defined the bricks f40 and f56 in k14 and k15, and continued to excavate in k4 finding a pebble and sherd pavement at the same level as f35 in k3. The sherds and cobblestones pavement, f43 were also removed today. [Input: S804LR.j] |
| -daily | -inc | 2008-07-12 | Met with gB and fAB in the field today to discuss the excavation goals and strategy and layout the squares. Four squares will be laid out with bP adding more over time. Our goals for this season are to link area JP with area A to see the boundary between the Mittani occupation and the plaza to the east. Another goal is for a horizontal exposure of A20, linking it to area A19 and A18. This season we will focus on only excavating to the earliest Mittani level, seen in A18, concentrating on documentation for the UGR. The staff consists of 5 members, lR as primary unit director, lC who will arrive in one week as secondary unit director, and eE, sE, and yM as assistants. [Input: S805LR.j] |
| -daily | -inc | 2008-07-13 | Photographed the area this morning before beginning excavations in A20 and started the day by removing the modern berm in k2 and k3. This feature was created to divert water from A18, creating a raised hump in the southern end of the loci. The berm was relayed, then removed. The topsoil level was then removed in k12 and k13. By the end of the day, a hard compact bricky surface was reached in k13. [Input: S805LR.j] |
| -daily | -inc | 2008-07-14 | Continued to excavate in k12, opened k2 and k3, removing topsoil. In k12, stones began to surface forming a small installation f11 belonging to the latest occupation on the Tell. [Input: S805LR.j] |
| -daily | -inc | 2008-07-15 | Spent the day trying to reach the same compact bricky layer surface in all four loci. K2, k3, and k12 were opened today leaving k13 closed since the compact layer is already present. By the end of the day we exposed this surface. Tomorrow this ly should be completely exposed and photographs expected on S717. [Input: S805LR.j] |
| -daily | -inc | 2008-07-16 | Spent the day working in k2, western half of the locus where stones were found. These were defined today and 15 cm from the western area removed. k14 was opened today, reaching the compact bricky layer by the end of the day. [Input: S805LR.j] |
| -daily | -inc | 2008-07-17 | Excavating in k2, k12, and opened k15 today. In k2 and k12, we proceeded to excavate in the western half of the locus to reach the same elevation as the east, perhaps finding a continuation of the compact layer that is present in the east but the soil here is turning softer and ashy. [Input: S805LR.j] |
| -daily | -inc | 2008-07-18 | Day off from the field [Input: S805LR.j] |
| -daily | -inc | 2008-07-19 | k12, k2, k15, k13 are open today. Today we began to remove the east baulks of k12 and k13, providing a continuation of the compact brick melt surface between the adjacent loci. f27 was assigned to refer to this compact brick layer, tell surface at abandonment, that subsumes the four discrete features in each locus. In k12, the latest occupation phase was removed; these include f23 sherd pavement and f11 stone installation. The western area was then excavated down 20 cm, finding patches of f18 compact layer however mixed with ash and different from the east side of the locus. In k2 the western half of the locus was excavated down 10 cm finding patches of compact brick melt but mostly ash. The topsoil was completely removed from k15, with abandonment accumulation containing brick components within a softer matrix was found below. A small cluster of stones surfaced along a piece of an andiron, i3. [Input: S805LR.j] |
| -daily | -inc | 2008-07-25 | Day off from the field [Input: S805LR.j] |
| -daily | -inc | 2008-07-24 | k13, k14, k15, and k3 open today. We are now removing the compact bricky layer f27, starting with k13. In k14, pavement f33 was removed with another pavement found below, f48. In k15, the day was spent defining the outer surface of the brick structure. In k3, the fill inside the tannur f42 was excavated, along with excavating f31 today, an interface between brick fall and ash, resulting in exposing several vertical bricks. [Input: S805LR.j] |
| -daily | -inc | 2008-07-28 | k12, k13, k14, and k15 open today. The western half of k12 was excavated, removing the ash to see if the compact brick material in the west, f52, continues to go down or if the ash and bricky layer abut. f52 continued to go down, perhaps forming a wall. The northeast corner of k13 has several brick faces emerging. Today we spent the morning defining these bricks to see if they continued to run to the east, forming a wall. At the end of the day bricks were found, but still unclear and not as well defined in the east. In k14, we focused on defining a series of vertical bricks found in the southwest corner, f56, to see if they form a wall. Vertical and horizontal bricks were found throughout the entire locus, on the eastern side, perhaps a burial structure. In k15, the last accumulation inside the structure a1 was excavated. Several stone tools were found inside. Stones began to surface west of a1. [Input: S805LR.j] |
| -daily | -inc | 2008-07-31 | continued to remove the south sections of k2, k3 and the north section of k2. The east section in k101 was partially removed, this is area A19 and in very poor condition making excavation dangerous. An attempt to remove it in levels will be made, currently we removed the topsoil. [Input: S805LR.j] |
| -daily | -inc | 2008-08-01 | Day off from the field [Input: S805LR.j] |
| -daily | -inc | 2008-08-03 | finished removing the north baulk of k2, cleaned the west section of k2 and k12, finished removing the east section of k13, started to remove the east section of k14. In k2, the area was leveled again after the sections were removed since the shovels tend to bowl the area after dirt removal. In k4, a patch of brick melt was removed, with a soft gray fill running east to west found in the center of the loci along with more compact surfaces to the north and south. The fill was removed f70, finding a rough pebble and sherd pavement f72, associated with f35 in k3. [Input: S805LR.j] |
| -daily | -inc | 2008-08-05 | k2, k3, k4, k15, k14 was open today. A new shade cloth was finally brought in, giving us more shade to excavate. This morning we started removing the accumulated dirt in A19, which was left deep in the square after removing part of the east baulk in A19. The shafat was used for two hours, removing most of the dirt but will continue tomorrow. It is best to remove the dirt in small intervals for lots of dust is produced within a small confined space. The south baulk of k15 and the corner of k14 were excavated, finding a possible corner between a1 and bricks to the south however very unclear at the moment. f50, the cobblestone pavement in k13 was removed today exposing another surface underneath; different from the pavement found under the same cobblestone pavement in k3. In k4, pavement f73 was exposed further indicating a well used space with fragmented animal bones, pottery sherds, and pebbles. The bricks in the south side of k4 were articulating, finding a possible bin f79 with no bricks inside and browner soil than f71 wall. k4 was closed after breakfast and will be photographed tomorrow. [Input: S805LR.j] |
| -daily | -inc | 2008-08-06 | Began the day by photographing the area the started to remove the east section of k12 to articulate the bricks visible in section. The box structure, f40 was cut into two section in order to understand it's construction. Sections on the north and east were cut, showing that both half and whole bricks were used in construction with the east section also showing the bricks stepped up between levels. Photographs will be taken tomorrow before more of the bricks are removed. The western end of the structure was also defined by removing 5 cm from f62 and coming towards the structure. The rest of the cobblestone pavement was removed today, these include f61 in k14 and f50 in k13. Under k13 we expected a pavement to surface similar to the one under f43 however what is emerging is a dain installation. Nothing was found under f61. We decided to close k2 for the moment and move into k12 removing the same ashy accumulation f24. Here the soil alternates between ashy, pink, darker gray, and black. The area was cleaned then covered for photographs tomorrow. We then moved into f82, a softer accumulation south of f52 and f64 wall, removing 10 cm from the area. [Input: S806LR.j] |
| -daily | -inc | 2008-08-07 | k12, k3, k14, and k13 open today. Spent the day excavating f24 ash to the west of f52, to reach the same elevation as the pebble and sherd floor in A18; this is not the end of the ash, with the wall f64 continuing to go down but for now we are stopping at this elevation. The ash continued to slope down, alternating between pink and gray. In k13 and k14, we removed f60 and f62, two similar accumulations gray in color and full of animal bones and pottery. In k14, after f62 was removed, brick lines surfaced in the south and west of the loci, adjacent to f63 wall indicating another one room structure. In k3, the ash f36 was removed around the tannur and the vertical bricks of f68. This ash appears to go under f35 pavement. [Input: S809LR.j] |
| -daily | -inc | 2008-08-08 | Day off from the field [Input: S809LR.j] |
| -daily | -inc | 2008-08-09 | k2, k3, k12, k13, and k14 open today. On S807 we reached the elevation of A18's pebble and sherd pavement in k12 and decided to stop excavating the ash. We then moved into k2, excavated f22 down 15 cm to reach the same elevation as k12 and A18. By the end of the day, this was achieved. Some small patches remain in the southeast corner that will be removed tomorrow. In k12, the brick wall f64 was defined finding an ashy fill f88 between the bricks. We plan to cut a small trench through f52 to see what this bricky mass could be. In k13, f60 was excavated and fully removed this morning. Underneath f60 the soil shifted from ashy and full of animal bones to light gray, compact, with several brick lines, very similar to what was found at the same elevation in k14, f87. Another 10 cm was removed from this feature, f89, with several bricks found in the north next to f60. In k14, f87 was excavated. This feature defines the space between three brick lines found yesterday in the north, east, and south. 20 cm was excavated from f87 then a patch of stones surfaced suggesting a possible pavement. Excavation was stopped, the area cleaned and photographs taken. Tomorrow we will excavate to see if the stones form a pavement. The eastern wall was defined this morning, finding a series of thin vertical oblique bricks forming the wall f92. These types of bricks are rather unusual, perhaps associated with a2 f40 box structure. In k3, the ash f36 was excavated today finding that our initial assumption about the ash abutting the pavement f35 was wrong. The ash appears to go under the pavement and we thus decided to remove the pavement f35. By the end of the day, bricks emerged in the southeast, likely associated with the bricks in k4, f71 wall. [Input: S809LR.j] |
| -daily | -inc | 2008-08-10 | k2, k12, k13, k14, k3, k101 open today. Yesterday we stopped excavating f22, leaving the area at the roughly the same elevation as A18 to the immediate south. Today we spent the morning cleaning k2 to define f98. More ash was noticed on the surface of f98, assuming it was f22 that partially covered f98, we began to remove 10 cm. The area then shifted from ashy to concentrated areas of burning with larger inclusions of charcoal, white ash, black stains, pottery, and tannur fragments bounded by f98 presumably bricks or bricky mass in the north. This new feature, f103 was photographed today and 5 cm removed. We then shifted into k12, removing 10 cm of f82 and a strip running N-S of f52. This material was incredibly hard, coming out in large brick chunks but much harder and compact than regular sun baked clay. This material seems to be secondarily fired, perhaps exposed to low heat from whatever created all the ash f22, f24. A large hole (fill f104) along the western edge of f52 was photographed today, perhaps a complete door or an animal hole. The fill was partially excavated to see if any good brick faces were visible which were found along the southern end suggesting a doorway yet the northern surface was oval in shape suggestive of an animal hole. In k13, excavation in the southeast corner continued removing f89 and finding more bricks to the north, defined as f105 wall that continues east forming f106 wall in k14. In k14, the accumulation above the pavement f93 was excavated revealing the cobblestones continuing in the area, stopping approximately 10 cm before the edge of the wall f97. In the western area, two bricks were found and an area of burning was noticed under these bricks. The area was closed to take photographs on the next work day. In k3, we started to remove the topsoil in the eastern section reaching the compact layer f17 by the end of the day. In k101, attempted to find a good surface for f94 by first removing the softer fill around the broken top bricks but this only showed a jumble of collapsed and broken bricks. We then cut the top layer, removing 10 cm to see if better bricks surfaced. Another 10 cm was removed, concluding that f94 is not a wall. [Input: S810LR2.j] |

| -daily | -inc | 2008-08-16 | Met with gB and fAB this morning for a strategy review; deciding on scaling back excavations in A20 starting on S818. Today k26 and k25 were opened but only partially excavated, removing some of the topsoil. This was before we decided to scale excavations. The area was cleaned out and leveled; we then will close these two squares until next season. This morning we scraped in f82, trying to make sense of the orange clay veins present in the southeast corner. Gray bricks began to emerge, forming a bin like installation with the clay veins localized within the fill. This was immediately photographed, labeling the bin as f113, and the fill as f114. We will retain f82 as the soil to the west of the bin. In k101, the area south of a2 was excavated, continuing to remove f94. This feature has been redefined as brick fall and not a wall. The east baulk was continued from S814, removing another 10 cm today exposing several vertical brick faces. The southern area, bricks are also present, likely the cross wall enclosing f116, f115, of a larger one room structure. In k4, we removed several centimeters to come towards the bricks of f99, exposing the faces from the west. Immediately, pavement f112 was found, west of f99. This pavement is under f90, forming a much nicer and more compacted surface than f35 pavement that was found in the same area but 10 cm higher in elevation. Lots of animal bones are sitting on this pavement, including a horn, mandibles, several long bones, and a skull of a smaller animal, perhaps a dog. [Input: S816LR.j] |

| -daily | -inc | 2008-08-14 | Excavated in k101, removing the eastern baulk to connect the wall f115 to f85 and the walls to the east, f116 (from A19). Wall f115 was noted as being fully constructed with vertical bricks slightly at an oblique angle alongside horizontal bricks f109, at a lower elevation. The vertical bricks f115 are in line with f46 wall from a1. In k12, we continued to remove the ash f24 in the hope that a pavement surfaces to find the depth of f52 and f64 wall. By the end of the day, a brown slightly compact layer was found under the ash f24, labeled f118. This layer still contains lots of charcoal and ash embedded but maybe the interface between a floor surface and the ash f24. A pavement, f117, was also found under f52 and f82 forming a thick highly compacted floor surface with pottery sherds underneath serving as leveling material for the floor. f117 does not extend north under f64, appearing localized under f52 and f82. This would suggest that f64 is earlier in construction. In k4, bricks f99 were articulated today, these continue to run south forming a nice wall that intersects with f107 wall, running west to east. [Input: S816LR.j] |
| -daily | -inc | 2008-08-17 | k12, k3, k101 open today. Started the day by retaking photographs of the bin f113 and the pavement f112. In k12, 5 cm was removed from f82, noticing several brick lines but not enough to define a wall. We then began to excavate the vertical section of f82, to see if good brick faces surfaced and to investigate if f117 curls up towards the bricks suggesting an outside floor surface or if the bricky mass sits on the floor. After following several good brick faces we resolved that f117 goes under the presumed bricks, finding a series of pavements at different elevations. This suggests that f52 and f82 were reused over multiple periods of time, laying down new pavements. It also suggests that the bricky mass is not technically a wall due to these multiple pavements underneath but that bricky material was periodically placed over the pavement during use. All 3 pavements are similar in type, color, and hardness. We labeled the pavements f124 and f123. In k3, we photographed the pavement f112 this morning after consolidating the animal bones with diluted wood glue. We then removed the bones from the pavement to protect them from getting crushed. fAB made a good point yesterday about the animal skull sitting on the pavement. He noticed that the skull was not crushed, a strange thing if the skull was left sitting on a pavement for a long period of time. Another point is the presence of a horn tip, a valuable piece that is often reused thus rare to find complete. We then removed the rest of the eastern baulk between k3 and k4 to connect pavement f73 with f112, which are two different levels showing that f73 covers f112. In k101, we continued to remove the east section which we are very close to the level of the walls f115 and f85. Vertical bricks were found in the southern end of the baulk, oriented east to west and look very similar to the bricks that f115 is constructed but at a higher elevation (one course higher). These are only 4 bricks with no more vertical bricks found in section. The section on the eastern face was scraped well today, showing faint lines of vertical faces as well in section. It is unclear if f115 forms the cross wall closing the structure to the east, f116, or if f109 wall closes the structure. f116 is constructed of horizontal bricks which would suggest that the cross wall would also be horizontal bricks. f109 are horizontal, so if this is the case then why is a wall made of vertical bricks immediately east of the outer wall. Perhaps f115 forms a bench. [Input: S818lR.j] |
| -daily | -inc | 2008-08-18 | k12, k13, k3, and k101 open today. In k12, continued to remove 5 cm from f82 then scraped the ash f24 to expose f118. In k13, we excavated f89, removing 5 cm, and coming down on a large stone. In k101, another 15 cm was removed from the north section, finding a wall f126 running west to east. Wall f125 was further defined, this wall is located in the western edge of k101 running north to south, possibly the cross wall for f126. Wall f127 appears to abut f40 on the southern end; these are a series of horizontal bricks that go down several courses then ends approximately 15 cm then f126 wall emerges underneath. At first we assumed that wall f84 continued to run west, so that f127 and f84 was the same wall. This however is not the case. While removing f120, stones emerged, west of f85 wall. These stones continue to go down; at the moment are 3 stones deep but stop to the west. A thick vertical line is also visible where the stones end which would then make f84 a discrete wall with stone foundations at its western edge and another wall, f127 built in the west that abuts f84. In k3, we finished articulating pavement f112. [Input: S818lR.j] |
| -daily | -inc | 2008-08-19 | This is the last day with all the workmen. Tomorrow we will send most of them to J5, keeping a few pickmen and shovelmen to help define a2 and k101. Today, k101 was open and A18 cleaned for photographs. This morning the north section of k101 was drawn. This section is not the true north section of k101, it is actually our cut into k14 but shows nicely the wall f127 which we plan to remove today. After the section was drawn we then photographed the section, including overhead, oblique, and direct north views. The wall was removed in section, beginning in the eastern area working west, leaving a small section to see the horizontal bricks from two sides. We then proceeded to continue removing the bricks to west, then cleaned out the section and photographed it again. What was in view was bricky material sitting on a nice row of horizontal bricks then several centimeters below, a layer of reddish fine clay appearing similar in shape and size to bricks but much softer than brick. Another layer was removed, moving north and this time removing f40 vertical bricks to expose another layer of the horizontal bricks behind. In the west, more stones surfaced to the north, in line with the stones from wall f125. It is unclear if these stones continue north, if so then a2 was built over f125 wall. One course of bricks was removed by accident from f126 wall but they continue below and rearticulated. Wall f126 contains many phytolith inclusions in the bricks mixed with elongated splinters of charcoal. We also cleaned the west and south sections of k101 or A19k98 for two reasons; first the sections are rather unsteady and dangerous from years of weathering and were cut back to make them safer and secondly, to cut a new surface and expose fresh bricks and colors. The entire day was spent cutting these two sections back then we proceeded to clean up the area east of the baulk near f116. I assumed that the backfill would be shallow but after working inside, the soil is deeper coming down on plastic around 20 cm deep. Tomorrow we will continue to remove the backfill and expose the floor surface from inside the structure, a5. [Input: S818lR.j] |
| -introduction | -inc | 2008-09-14 | Given the small sizes of the rooms, rectangular shaped stone installation inside a5 (f136), the presence of an adult human tooth lost postmortem (root still attached), fragments of a human skull in a5, and a perforated bronze drinking strainer which have been found in the context of mortuary rituals at Chagar Bazar, Tell Leilan, and Baghauz (from Akkermans and Schwartz 2002;322), and the presence of a small plaque i12 resembling a dead body within a tomb, all lead to the plausibility that these structures are connected to a funerary complex. In upper A18, the structure found dating to ^oc1 contained two neonates inside the structure (above the floor) with evidence that the structure was vaulted and plastered. Immediately south of the structure in A17 a large pit was found containing the remains of 7 individuals found disarticulated and may be the result of clearing out the inside of the mudbrick structure in A18 to reuse the room during a later occupation phase. Similar events may have occurred in area A20 as no complete articulated individuals were found but given how long the Mittani period occupied these structures it is still plausible that the bodies were moved and buried elsewhere. In A16, A15, A18, and A11, during the late Khabur phase there is clear evidence that the mudbrick structures were used as houses or tombs for the dead with the brickfall immediately covering these structures also containing a large quantity of human bones however disarticulated. The massive brickfall of A16 and A18 appears to come from the earliest Mittani occupation s19 that may have reused some of the late Khabur walls which collapsed to the west covering the area with brickfall and disarticulated human bones. If this is the case then s19 and s15 follows the continuity of using this area as a space associated with the dead seen in the late Khabur period that spans deeper in time with the early khabur and URIII period also containing large number of human internments. One difference noted between A20 and the earlier Khabur area is the size of the rooms, which are larger in A20 (for example a5 and the courtyard f108), suggest the possibility that the area was used for other functions. If A20 is indeed a funerary area during s19 and s15 then one must consider its association to area JP and the temple in terms of ritual. This year, area J7 also contained disarticulated human remains from the middle Mittani period found south of the temple staircase that come from structures to the east. This suggests that during the Mittani period internments were also occurring in the east. [Input: S914LR.j] |

| -strata description | -inc | 2008-09-14 | The strata has been assigned using the JPC strata sequence. In summary starting from the latest event includes: the topsoil level (s2), the latest Mittani occupation which includes scattered small stone installations and sherd pavements (s11), abandonment and collapse f27 (s12b), late Mittani occupation that reused the space but possibly changed the function of the area into an outdoor area (s12a), middle Mittani occupation that directly reused earlier structures and raised the floor levels inside (s14), early Mittani occupation includes the construction of the buildings and pavements (s15), and the earliest Mittani strata (s19) that is still tentative but includes the deepest structure in elevation, a5, which one can argue belongs to either s15 or s19.

| -strategy | -inc | 2008-07-12 | Yesterday our team met with gb and iko to discuss the excavation strategy of area A20 along with defining the exact boundaries of the area. It was suggested that A20 serve as a link between excavations in area A and the eastern excavations in area J by focusing on a west to east exposure. This exposure would expand the relationship between the plaza in J and the settlements to the west in area A. Another goal is to concentrate on a horizontal exposure of the Mittani phase towards the north and east, a continuation of A18's exposure of Mittani which was excavated several years ago resulting in several Mittani mud brick structures, cooking installations, and pebble pavements. A20 is also subsuming A19, a trench created to explore the easternmost expansion of the palace. This area consists of three squares, originally part of J1 showing deep Mittani and Khabur levels. Given the surrounding areas, we anticipate finding Mittani levels immediately once the topsoil is removed. Tomorrow we will begin to excavate k2 and k3, which are both immediately north of A18. [Input: S712LR.j] |
| -strategy | -inc | 2008-07-15 | Attempting to see if the compact layer, f7, is found in the other three loci. This layer presumably indicates that we are at the last phase of Mittani occupation, an abandonment of the area in which over time mud bricks were eroded, melted by rain, and re-baked by the sun. For the time being, f5, f14 will be left in place. By the end of the day we exposed this compact surface in all the loci (not fully) with a slope present towards the south. Tomorrow this ly should be completely exposed and photographs expected on S717. [Input: S715LR.j] |
| -strategy | -inc | 2008-07-19 | With the brick melt fully exposed in all the opened loci, the strategy this week is to remove the brick melt, . [Input: S719LR.j] |
| -strategy | -inc | 2008-07-23 | With the emergence of f42 tannur, i11 jar, f35 pavement, and f43 pavement in k3, the strategy has changed in k2. We initially discussed concentrating all our efforts in excavating k2 and k3 to link what is already known from A18 however k2 remains difficult to understand. Large amounts of soft gray ash is present throughout the entire locus with patches of compact bricky material in the eastern side of the locus. The new strategy is to focus on exposing k3, following what was exposed in the eastern half of k3 towards the west. Since f36 runs into the north section, we will then open up k13 south side to see if the ash continues. The north trench in k13 showed a thin ashy level but mostly brickfall, indicating that the same ash present in k3 does not extend into the northern half of the k13. Once the boundary of the ash is found, we will then proceed into k12 to find the ash border here. [Input: S723LR.j] |
| -strategy | -inc | 2008-07-27 | Met with gB today regarding adding workman to the team and decide how to proceed excavations in A20. At the moment, k25, k26, and k16 have not been opened with the goal focused on reaching the same stratum in all the 6 loci that are already opened. This is to ensure that we don't start excavating squares we can't feasibly excavate and document by the end of the season. Another concern is area A19 which we are quickly reaching in depth in k15, along with possibly sharing walls between the two areas. I suggested that we either incorporate A19 into A20 by removing the sections dividing these two units (removing A19 north baulk) which would then provide a nice link to k15 and we can also then start to excavate k16. If this is done, our team will be responsible for linking A19's features so will take additional time to recover all the documentation from this area. I suggested that we either concentrate on incorporating A19 or focus on excavating k25 and k26 since doing both would require more time. After our meeting it was decided to add 4 more workmen to the team with the decision pertaining to opening the new squares and incorporating A19 decided later after reviewing the completeness of the UGR in our area. [Input: S729LR.j] |
| -strategy | -inc | 2008-07-29 | A20 met with gB and fAB to discuss the next steps in A20. A19 will be incorporated into A20 with the north sections removed. k16 will be opened after the surveyor adds corner points. fAB suggested removing the north section of A18 to give a nice horizontal exposure of the area and also facilitate the link between A18 and A20. [Input: S729LR.j] |
| -strategy | -inc | 2008-08-16 | Met with gB and fAB this morning for a strategy review; deciding on scaling back excavations in A20. Our earlier strategy was to remove the later installations such as the drain a3, brick pile f68, and pavement f112 to come down to the earlier Mittani strata but with only 10 days left in the season, it was suggested to concentrate only in few small areas to clarify some stratigraphic questions. This decision was also reached in consideration for the UGR upkeep, with most members of the team leaving in two weeks; we want to make sure that everything is properly documented before closing the area for next season. The extra workmen will be distributed to the other units retaining several pick men to work in A20. The area south of a2, in k101, will be our primary excavation goal for the next week, coming down in the southern side of the box structure f40 (a2) to see if it continues deeper. This is the only side we can go down for wall f92 abuts the structures to the west, wall f63 to the north, and the stone pavement f57 to the east. Once the southern border is defined, we then plan to excavate a2 by removing the top course of bricks, eventually removing the structure to see if this is a tomb. Another area for clarification is f82, excavating in bin f113, to see if this we are inside a structure or if this is part of the reuse. Lastly, in k101, we plan to remove the last of eastern baulk, tying together A19 and A20. [Input: S816LR.j] |
| -summary | -inc | 2008-07-19 | last week A20 opened six loci, removed the topsoil in all the squares with the exception of k15 which was opened on S717. In all the loci, the same compact bricky layer was found, interpreted as eroded bricks melted together. Thus f18, f16, f7, f20, f17 are all contemporary with each other, forming the same brick melt, presumably sealing the Mittani occupation levels below. In k12 and k2, in the western half of the locus the brick melt does not continue and instead soft ash emerged however today brick melt was found scattered in the western side. The north section of A18 confirms our observations, with the boundaries of the brick melt becoming blurred south of k2. [Input: S719LR.j] |
| -summary | -inc | 2008-07-28 | With the brickmelt f27 exposed in 5 loci we then proceeded to remove the sections between the loci where the brick melt continued into the next square. Photographs were taken of this continuous layer then began to remove the brickmelt which was only 10cm in thickness. By the end of the week, brick faces began to emerge, suggesting an occupation phase below. [Input: S812LR7.j] |
| -summary | -inc | 2008-08-01 | Spent the week defining the occupation phase below the brickmelt finding several strata. A stone pavement was found in k15, possibly the earliest level in A20 that parallels to the pavement found in A18 while several pebble, sherd, and cobblestone pavements were found scattered in the area. We are interpreting these as later strata that reused the built up space. The large section of A18 was also removed last week, making it easier to visualize the horizontal continuity between these two areas. [Input: S812LR7.j] |
| -summary | -inc | 2008-08-06 | The latest phase appears completely exposed, finding small pavements constructed of pebble and sherds, a tannur, cobblestones, a drainage channel, and medium sized stones. These are scattered in the area and ephemeral in many aspects as they don't seem to be linked with any walls or structures but may have reused an earlier wall. A large wall surfaced to the north, running E-W through four loci that if this wall sits on a stone pavement similar to what we see in A18 and A19 (both at elevation 9185) then this wall is deep with the scattered installations reusing the top of the large wall. [Input: S812LR7.j] |
| -summary | -inc | 2008-08-13 | Spent several days in the house working on documentation. Our goals this week are to work on the Harris Matrix to facilitate with the strata assignment which we are waiting to finish until some features are excavated further to pull everything together. We have less than two weeks left in the excavation season and will concentrate on removing some of the later strata to articulate the early walls and presumed pavements below. [Input: S812LR7.j] |

| a1 | C1 | 2008-08-05 | removed the southern baulk of k15 and found the southern wall of a1, f84. [Input: S806LR.j] |
| a1 | C3 | 2008-08-09 | The stone pavement f57 is assumed to be an earlier construction based on the following evidence; the walls f38 and f46 are resting on the pavement, and secondly the pavement extends beyond the wall line. This suggests that the pavement was constructed first then the walls set on the pavement. To counter argue this point, wall f84 is deeper founded than the pavement, continuing for three courses deeper than the pavement. This wall f84 is associated with a1, the southern wall. The pavement f57 ends with the edge of the wall. This would argue for the wall, f84, as earlier than the pavement constructed, followed by the walls f46 and f38. If the wall f84 was constructed for a1 then the pavement is contemporary to all the walls however if f84 was a reused wall, then the pavement is later. [Input: S809LR.j] |

This section is not the true north section of k101, it is actually our cut into k14 but shows nicely the wall f127 which we plan to remove today for the purpose of exposing f40 (a2) which is presumably behind wall f127. After the section was drawn we then photographed the section, including overhead, oblique, and direct north views. The wall was removed in section, beginning in the eastern area working west, leaving a small section to see the horizontal bricks from two sides. We then proceeded to continue removing the bricks to west, then cleaned out the section and photographed it again. What was in view was bricky material sitting on a nice row of horizontal bricks then several centimeters below, a layer of reddish fine clay appearing similar in shape and size to bricks but much softer than brick. Another layer was removed, moving north and this time removing f40 vertical bricks to expose another layer of the horizontal bricks behind. In the west, more stones surfaced to the north, in line with the stones from wall f125. It is unclear if these stones continue north, if so then a2 was built over f125 wall. [Input: S818lR.j] |

| a5 | C1 | 2008-08-19 | created this label today to define the one room structure exposed by unit A19 five years ago. The reason for doing this is due to A20's involvement in the north; with f85 linking up with f109 or f115 wall as well as removing the eastern baulk to further defines the walls. We have relabeled the loci from their original locus numbers of A19k98 and A19k99 (originally J1 west), to form k101 for both these squares. At the moment, a5 is formed by f116 wall running east to west, wall f115 running north to south, f109 wall running north to south, as well as a southern wall that has no feature number yet. Today we proceeded to clean up inside a5. I assumed that the backfill would be shallow but after working inside, the soil is deeper coming down on plastic around 20 cm deep.

This material is darker in color, softer, and contrasts sharply with the compact brick material located to the west (f5). This feature is presumably accumulation that built-up naturally. [Input: S713LR.j] |
| f6 | C1 | 2008-07-13 | Assigned this feature today but did not excavate it, tomorrow we plan to excavate this feature with the big pick. [Input: S713LR.j] |
| f6 | C1 | 2008-07-14 | removed 5 cms from the NE corner of the locus to level the area. This feature is a mixture of topsoil and abandonment accumulation below showing small fragments of charcoal, bricks, and exhibits both hard and soft spots throughout the locus. Similar features were noted throughout all the loci in A20. One question is the relationship between the bricky material to the west, f5 where the stones are emerging and this accumulation. Tomorrow we plan to remove 10 cms to see if f5 is underneath. In k13 (loci immediately to the east), a compact surface is present but at a much deeper elevation. [Input: S714LR.j] |

| f22 | B11 | 2008-08-11 | Multiple accumulations of deep ash ranging in shades of gray pink to dark black sloping into k2 from presumably the northwest (slope visible in section). This ash was found in the entire locus, except for a small patch of f16 then a larger patch of f98 in the northeast corner. The ash is also present in the western half of k12 as well as in A18. In A18, a deep vertical section shows the ash extending down several meters. In k2, we stopped excavating the ash at the same elevation as A18, an arbitrary stopping point. [Input: S811LR6.j] |
| f22 | C1 | 2008-08-04 | removed approximately 10 cm from the southern end of k2, all ash with several areas containing laminations, patches of brown soil alternating with darker stains of charcoal. The presence of laminations suggests that the ash was not dumped at one time but over a period of time enough for water to pool forming laminations. The ash continues to be clean, meaning few inclusions of pottery and animal bones, quite different from f60 and f62. [Input: S804LR.j] |
| f22 | C1 | 2008-08-09 | On S807 we reached the elevation of A18's pebble and sherd pavement in k12 and decided to stop excavating the ash. We then moved into k2, excavated f22 down 15 cm to reach the same elevation as k12 and A18. By the end of the day, this was achieved.

These sherds appear contemporary with f11 stones as they are the same elevation and resting on f5. These sherds possibly form the natural surface of the ancient Tell.

| f24 | B11 | 2008-08-11 | Multiple accumulations of deep ash ranging in shades of gray pink to dark black sloping into k12 from presumably the northwest (slope visible in section). This ash was found in the western half of the locus abutting a large amorphous bricky mass in the east and the ash continues to slop down to the south, into k2. In A18, a deep vertical section shows the ash extending down several meters. In k12, we stopped excavating the ash at the same elevation as A18, an arbitrary stopping point as it continues to go down. [Input: S811LR6.j] |
| f24 | C1 | 2008-07-28 | A total of 15 cm was removed from the entire southeast corner then expanded to the north to level out the rest of the feature. While excavating a tannur fragment was found, q94.1, with one surface complete and the other abraded. The tannur piece was floating in the ash without any floor surface visible. The ash alternated from some areas showing black stains while some areas are slightly more compact and brown. f52 continues to go down but stopped excavating this feature after breakfast due to insufficient tents for shade. Tomorrow we will continue to excavate this feature. [Input: S728LR.j] |
| f24 | C1 | 2008-07-29 | The ashy accumulation in the west, f24 was also excavated today, removing approximately 15 cm from the entire feature. It still continues to go down, which is expected as the north section of A18 shows clearly thick ash accumulations. [Input: S729LR.j] |
| f24 | C1 | 2008-08-06 | Excavated the ashy accumulation f24 today, removing 10 cm from the entire western half of the locus. The area began to show alternating layers of pink, gray, and darker ash which was cleaned then covered for photographs tomorrow. [Input: S806LR.j] |
| f24 | C1 | 2008-08-07 | Continued to excavate this feature today, removing 15 cm of ash that alternated between pink and gray layers. The wall f64 continues to do down with bricks jutting out in section. [Input: S809LR.j] |
| f24 | C1 | 2008-08-14 | In k12, we continued to remove the ash f24 in the hope that a pavement surfaces to find the depth of f52 and f64 wall. By the end of the day, a brown slightly compact layer was found under the ash f24, labeled f118. This layer still contains lots of charcoal and ash embedded but maybe the interface between a floor surface and the ash f24. [Input: S816LR.j] |

| f30 | B11 | 2008-07-28 | A thick accumulation of brick fall from presumably a collapse of structures nearby. Large broken bricks are uniformly found within a softer matrix. Approximately 25 cm thick, this feature transitions into compact bricky mass with larger brick components present, some complete bricks forming f41, wall. The brickfall also covered f59, a hearth sitting on bricks from f41. [Input: S728LR.j] |
| f30 | C1 | 2008-07-28 | We continued to excavate this feature today, removing 10 cm, thinking that we found the bottom since in the east a nice ash level was found, presumably the end of brickfall. The layer however was only localized in the east, with the matrix towards the east resembling a combination of brick melt and brick fall. The soil is hard, bricky; some lines are present but don't form any structures or pattern. Tomorrow, the area will be scraped and cleaned to see if any more bricks surface. If not, we should consider changing the feature to define it as more compact than the brickfall above. [Input: S728LR.j] |

The pavement contained animal bones embedded with multiple layers of the pavement visible. One suggestion, especially viewing the pavement in k4 is that this was either an unintentional pavement created from a walking surface that embedded loose sherds into the soil or that this is an ancient wadi with sherds washed in. The presence of a channel, f83 drain to the immediate northwest of f35 suggests that water was present and diverted. In k4, the pavement is at a higher elevation, sloping down into k3.

| f40 | A98 | 2008-08-09 | f86 is included under this label early in the season when the a distinction between f40 and f86 could not be established. As a result some of the early templates label f86 as f40. [Input: S811LR6.j] |
| f40 | B11 | 2008-08-09 | In the western part of k15, adjacent to the west section, several brick faces emerged, arranged vertically that continued into the western baulk. Within a few days more bricks emerged in the northeast corner, horizontal and different from the vertical bricks but since no definition could be concluded, both these sets of bricks were labeled f40. After we removed the west section of k15, or the east section of k14, the vertical bricks continued under the section and found in k14, labeled as f56. The horizontal bricks found earlier turned into a wall, oriented north to south and we relabeled these bricks as f86. f40 with f56 are included under aggregate 2 (a2) forming a box like structure with multiple courses of vertical bricks, obliquely set, with thick mortar between the bricks. The first course was eroded and removed early in the season so it's difficult to reconstruct the original shape of this structure; it appears that the bricks were set in a manner that created a domed outer shape with a square base. The top bricks were cut back in section to understand how it was constructed with more bricks found below, vertically set and identical to the top course. On the western end, a wall constructed of thin vertical bricks obliquely set abuts a2, given the similarities in construction we are assuming that this wall is associated with a2. The western border also shows some of the bricks collapsed and these bricks were left articulated. It is unclear how deep this structure is, at the moment it appears to be three courses in construction utilizing bricks measuring 36 x 36 x 10 cm. [Input: S811LR6.j] |
| f40 | C1 | 2008-07-23 | This feature was assigned to the cluster of emerging bricks in the western half of the locus. It is unclear if this is a wall or tomb. [Input: S723LR.j] |
| f40 | C1 | 2008-08-04 | Articulated this feature today after the east baulk of k14 was removed. This appears to be a several courses of vertical bricks forming a rectangular shape located between k14 and k15. The eastern portion was cut back to see if a section could be made, exposing the brick faces but only a few faces emerged. The sides were also defined. This is either a wall, using vertical bricks however since it doesn't continue in k14 or k15; it seems strange to be a wall. Another possibility is a grave with several cases at Mozan and other areas showing vertical bricks used in tomb construction. Lastly, this could also simply be a brick pile used for construction that was left in place after abandonment. [Input: S804LR.j] |
| f40 | C1 | 2008-08-05 | Met with gB today to discuss the strategy for excavating this structure. He suggested to cut several sections to understand the size of the bricks, orientation, and construction before the top surface of the bricks are removed. Tomorrow we will begin to do this. [Input: S805LR2.j] |
| f40 | C1 | 2008-08-06 | The box structure, f40 was cut into two section in order to understand it's construction. Sections on the north and east were cut, showing that both half and whole bricks were used in construction with the east section also showing the bricks stepped up between levels. Photographs will be taken tomorrow before more of the bricks are removed. The western end of the structure was also defined by removing 5 cm from f62 and coming towards the structure. [Input: S806LR.j] |
| f40 | C1 | 2008-08-09 | A series of thin vertical bricks set at an oblique angle were found while excavating f87. The bricks are held together with thin mortar forming a wall west of a2, f40, and possibly forming a room bounded by f97 and f63 or a wall for f40. [Input: S809LR.j] |
| f40 | C1 | 2008-08-19 | This morning the north section of k101 was drawn. This section is not the true north section of k101, it is actually our cut into k14 but shows nicely the wall f127 which we plan to remove today for the purpose of exposing f40 (a2) which is presumably behind wall f127. After the section was drawn we then photographed the section, including overhead, oblique, and direct north views. The wall was removed in section, beginning in the eastern area working west, leaving a small section to see the horizontal bricks from two sides. We then proceeded to continue removing the bricks to west, then cleaned out the section and photographed it again. What was in view was bricky material sitting on a nice row of horizontal bricks then several centimeters below, a layer of reddish fine clay appearing similar in shape and size to bricks but much softer than brick. Another layer was removed, moving north and this time removing f40 vertical bricks to expose another layer of the horizontal bricks behind. In the west, more stones surfaced to the north, in line with the stones from wall f125. It is unclear if these stones continue north, if so then a2 was built over f125 wall. [Input: S818lR.j] |

| f41 | B11 | 2008-07-27 | mud brick wall running west to east in the northwest corner of k13, partly in the north baulk. The wall measures 50 cm in width, constructed of one brick and a half. The length is unknown as the wall is yet completely excavated, at the moment measures 120 cms. Two types of bricks are present, an orange-reddish and gray bricks with gray mortar lines, with two courses currently visible. The bricks run into the west baulk with more bricks visible in the west baulk suggesting the wall turns to form a corner. A parallel wall may be present 127 cm south from f41. Here a large bricky mass is present but no clear brick faces or lines distinguishable. [Input: S728LR.j] |
| f41 | C1 | 2008-07-28 | Spent the entire day focusing on f41 and the area to the west. Only the northwest corner was articulated and defined thus far so increments of 5cms was shaved off from the surface to see if these bricks extend to the east. Two more bricks were found but the area is extremely confusing with hard compact material showing no brick lines or faces. The strategy then changed, starting from the south end working towards the bricks, 10 cms was removed to see if the inner face of the wall could be found. The faces were found however more bricks surfaced below, extending the width of the wall by a meter to the south. Either this is a very thick wall or something other than a wall. [Input: S728LR.j] |
| f41 | C1 | 2008-07-29 | In the northeast in line with f41 more bricks surfaced indicating that the wall continues to the east, under the baulk. Bricks are also present in k14 east; if this is the same wall then this is either a very large structure or a wall delineating an area, similar in function to a fence. [Input: S729LR.j] |
| f41 | C1 | 2008-08-09 | More bricks are beginning to surface south of the defined area for f41. This bricks are the same orientation, found lower in elevation. At this moment we are leaving these bricks are part of f41 and defining it as a thick wall. In the next locus, k14, the same situation is visible with more bricks to the south of f63 wall, also at a lower elevation. One possibility is that these walls are later additions to narrow an associated room or alternatively, these could be two walls that abut each other. [Input: S809LR.j] |
| f41 | C3 | 2008-07-28 | One argument for defining f41 as a pavement rests on the burned area, f59, sitting on one of the bricks of f41, similar to a hearth of some sort. This could be also a reuse of the original wall, setting a hearth over the wall after abandonment and build-up of the area. [Input: S728LR.j] |

The tannur is 10 cm deep, found collapsed in, and shows small broken bricks around the top surface used as props to set the tannur. Ash was found inside, indicating no inclusions such as pottery or animal bones with the fill clean ash. [Input: S811LR6.j] |
| f42 | C1 | 2008-07-23 | The base of a tannur, found while excavating f29, interface between bricky material and ash, f36. The base is complete with large fragments of the tannur resting on top of the base. The tannur appears to sit on the ash f36 with a cobblestone floor found immediately to the north. [Input: S723LR.j] |
| f42 | C1 | 2008-07-24 | Began to excavate f42 today using small wooden spatulas. The fill inside consisted of soft light gray ash, no pottery or bones found only fragments of the tannur and over fired brick pieces. Currently, 10cms was removed with the tannur continuing to go down. Typically at Mozan, tannurs sit on floors with only 5 cms remaining of the base. In the Mittani levels, A18 contained several tannur ovens and cooking installations that are different from the earlier phases. The Mittani ovens found were pedastooled or propped up by bricks allowing the person using the tannur to stand instead of squatting down. If the walls of f42 go down then the tannur dates to the same phase as the Mittani structures in A18 rather than a later phase that built over the earlier ash fills. [Input: S725LR.j] |
| f42 | C1 | 2008-08-09 | Excavated f36 ash around the tannur today, exposing the outer surface showing the tannur floating in ash. [Input: S809LR.j] |

| f52 | B11 | 2008-07-28 | Found in the eastern half of k12, triangular in shape and wider in the north measuring 300cm then tapering and sloping slightly to the south measuring 175 cm. This feature is approximately 30 cms below f27, very compact with faint traces of brick lines that do not form any shape. Initially labeled as brick melt for the color, hardness, and texture is similar to f27 brick melt but yesterday we reassessed this feature, finding flat brick lines in section suggesting a possible structure, wall, or pavement. [Input: S728LR.j] |
| f52 | C1 | 2008-07-28 | f52 was found sloping down with f24 clearly coming up to f52. [Input: S728LR.j] |
| f52 | C1 | 2008-08-10 | This feature along with f82 continues to perplex us as it is a large amorphous bricky mass with faint suggestions of brick lines that never materialize into complete bricks. Today after meeting with fAB, it was decided to remove 10 cm of it starting from the south. This material was very difficult to remove coming out in large bricky chunks that fail to break with your hands, perhaps secondarily fired from whatever created ash f22 and f24. At the end of the day no resolution was reach for underneath the same compact bricky mass is present. To the south, f82 was also removed 10 cm finding interesting veins of reddish to orange clay. Given all the ash, the artifacts we are finding which include small fragments of flint, lithic blades and samples of minerals, perhaps this area was associated with some type of craft production. Several holes are present on the western side of f52, interpreted as animal holes although it's strange to have so many on the surface and may be linked to a specific function. The largest hole, fill f104 has one corner with brick faces suggestive of a possible door but the other side is rounded, appearing more like an animal hole than a doorway. The fill was partially excavated to see if more brick faces surfaced, these faces were found only in the southern end. [Input: S810LR2.j] |
| f52 | C2 | 2008-07-28 | This feature is similar to f41 and f58, a hard bricky mass with no clear brick lines present making it difficult to determine an excavation strategy. At this moment, f52 slopes down in the west where it abuts f24 so we know that it continues in depth. Based on this observation, our strategy is to remove 10 cm from the top, first in a test trench, to see if brick lines surface below. [Input: S728LR.j] |
| f52 | C2 | 2008-07-29 | The area remains confusing as bricky mass is found everywhere with no clear brick faces visible. A 1x1 meter trench was set up in the north, adjacent to the north baulk, with 10 cm removed to see if bricks are present below. A section was also cut from the sloping bricky mass in the west, revealing nice brick lines. By the end of the day a wall was exposed running west to east, under the east section and likely is the same wall as f41 in k13. [Input: S729LR.j] |

| f56 | A21 | 2008-07-28 | brick pile [Input: S802LR.j] |
| f56 | B11 | 2008-07-28 | Series of vertical bricks in the southeast corner of k14, running into the east section and visible in k15 as f40. To the north of the vertical bricks, there are also flat horizontal bricks that extend east into k15. At the moment we are keeping both these sets of bricks as f56 in k14 until the area is better defined. Presumably the bricks also run west under f34. [Input: S728LR.j] |
| f56 | B11 | 2008-08-09 | f40 with f56 are included under aggregate 2 (a2) forming a box like structure with multiple courses of vertical bricks, obliquely set, with thick mortar between the bricks. The first course was eroded and removed early in the season so it's difficult to reconstruct the original shape of this structure; it appears that the bricks were set in a manner that created a domed outer shape with a square base. The top bricks were cut back in section to understand how it was constructed with more bricks found below, vertically set and identical to the top course. On the western end, a wall constructed of thin vertical bricks obliquely set abuts a2, forming a wall oriented north to south, given the similarities in construction we are assuming that this wall is associated with a2. The western border also shows some of the bricks collapsed and these bricks were left articulated. It is unclear how deep this structure is, at the moment it appears to be three courses in construction utilizing bricks measuring 36 x 36 x 10 cm. [Input: S811LR6.j] |
| f56 | C1 | 2008-08-04 | Articulated this feature today after the east baulk of k14 was removed. This appears to be several courses of vertical bricks forming a rectangular shape located between k14 and k15. The eastern portion was cut back to see if a section could be made, exposing the brick faces but only a few faces emerged. The sides were also defined. This is either a wall, using vertical bricks however since it doesn't continue in k14 or k15; it seems strange to be a wall. Another possibility is a grave with several cases at Mozan and other areas showing vertical bricks used in tomb construction. Lastly, this could also simply be a brick pile used for construction that was left in place after abandonment. [Input: S804LR.j] |

| f63 | B11 | 2008-08-12 | Mud brick wall running west to east located adjacent to the north section with the wall continuing north under the section. The wall is constructed of 2 bricks and a half, forming a portion of the large wall that spans from k12, k13, k14, and k15 (see f64 and f41). Another mud brick wall was found at a lower elevation, f106, that either abuts or bonds with wall f63 to the south, forming a thick wall that measures approximately 200 cm in thickness. The depth of this wall is unknown as it is only partially excavated but from k12, we see that this wall continues down at least a meter to the current excavated level. In A18, a stone pavement was found at elevation 9185, perhaps the floor surface associated with this wall. If this is the case, then the wall would measure 2 meters in depth. [Input: S812LR7.j] |
| f63 | C1 | 2008-08-09 | More bricks are beginning to surface south of the defined area for f41. This bricks are the same orientation, found lower in elevation. At this moment we are leaving these bricks are part of f41 and defining it as a thick wall. In the next locus, k14, the same situation is visible with more bricks to the south of f63 wall, also at a lower elevation. One possibility is that these walls are later additions to narrow an associated room or alternatively, these could be two walls that abut each other. [Input: S809LR.j] |

| f64 | B11 | 2008-08-12 | A mud brick wall running west to east adjacent to the north section of k12, extending into the north and east section. This feature represents a portion of a large wall found throughout four loci, with this portion forming the western end, extending 300 cm to the west then ending with f24 ash abutting the wall. The first two courses of bricks were removed to see better brick faces below, finding the walls constructed utilizes both vertical and horizontal bricks. The horizontal bricks are half bricks set lengthwise in one row with a set of vertical bricks to the north. This construction appears only in the northwest half of the wall with the eastern portion appearing to be only horizontal bricks with the same construction as f41 and f63 wall. One possibility is that this wall was reused at a later phase, making it into a bin similar to f79 and f71 wall in k4. Soft fill was found between the vertical bricks labeled f88 and partially excavated. To the south of this wall, f52 either abuts or bonds with f64 wall. Currently this wall continues down for over a meter in depth. [Input: S812LR7.j] |
| f64 | C1 | 2008-08-04 | The extent of the wall is unknown with hard, compact, bricky material to the immediate south of the defined bricks of f64. Today we removed the soft material above the compact layer to see if we could articulate the brick fall or bricks. Several brick lines emerged, as well in the section with the area to the south becoming less compact and more like brick fall. New feature numbers will be assigned to these two areas since f52 was defined as brick melt and may be a wall. [Input: S804LR.j] |
| f64 | C1 | 2008-08-07 | This wall continues to go down. We are currently approximately 2 meters down in the the ash with the bricks from f64 jutting out in section. Small rodent holes are present along with a large hole without bricks that may be a doorway. [Input: S809LR.j] |
| f64 | C1 | 2008-08-09 | sE made an interesting observation that the bricks of f64 have a set of horizontal and vertical bricks, whereas it was assumed the wall was constructed only of horizontal bricks that are visible in the north section. The area was further articulated finding an area where a brick was missing, thus forming a probe into the area under the bricks. A new feature was created, f88 defined as fill between the bricks, showing a soft ashy soil with a few vertical bricks sitting on this ashy soil f88. [Input: S809LR.j] |
| f64 | C1 | 2008-08-14 | A pavement, f117, was found under f52 and f82 (seen in the eastern border) forming a thick highly compacted floor surface with pottery sherds underneath serving as leveling material for the floor. f117 does not extend north under f64, appearing localized under f52 and f82. This would suggest that f64 is earlier in construction. [Input: S816LR.j] |

| f82 | B11 | 2008-08-06 | South of the wall f64, the area forms into a large bricky mass withouth clear brick lines. To the south, the compactness changes, no longer a solid bricky mass but more brickfall with medium sized broken bricks within a softer matrix becoming softer to the south. This softer area was given a new feature number, f82 to distinguish it between f52 to the north and measures approximately 2x1 meter. [Input: S806LR.j] |
| f82 | C1 | 2008-08-10 | This feature along with f82 continues to perplex us as it is a large amorphous bricky mass with faint suggestions of brick lines that never materialize into complete bricks. Today after meeting with fAB, it was decided to remove 10 cm of it starting from the south. This material was very difficult to remove coming out in large bricky chunks that fail to break with your hands, perhaps secondarily fired from whatever created ash f22 and f24. At the end of the day no resolution was reach for underneath the same compact bricky mass is present. To the south, f82 was also removed 10 cm finding interesting veins of reddish to orange clay. Given all the ash, the artifacts we are finding which include small fragments of flint, lithic blades and samples of minerals, perhaps this area was associated with some type of craft production. Several holes are present on the western side of f52, interpreted as animal holes although it's strange to have so many on the surface and may be linked to a specific function. The largest hole, fill f104 has one corner with brick faces suggestive of a possible door but the other side is rounded, appearing more like an animal hole than a doorway. The fill was partially excavated to see if more brick faces surfaced, these faces were found only in the southern end. [Input: S810LR2.j] |
| f82 | C1 | 2008-08-14 | A pavement, f117, was found under f52 and f82 (seen in the eastern border) forming a thick highly compacted floor surface with pottery sherds underneath serving as leveling material for the floor. f117 does not extend north under f64, appearing localized under f52 and f82. This would suggest that f64 is earlier in construction. [Input: S816LR.j] |
| f82 | C1 | 2008-08-17 | In k12, 5 cm was removed from f82, noticing several brick lines but not enough to define a wall. We then began to excavate the vertical section of f82, to see if good brick faces surfaced and to investigate if f117 curls up towards the bricks suggesting an outside floor surface or if the bricky mass sits on the floor. After following several good brick faces we resolved that f117 goes under the presumed bricks, finding a series of pavements at different elevations. This suggests that f52 and f82 were reused over multiple periods of time, laying down new pavements. It also suggests that the bricky mass is not technically a wall due to these multiple pavements underneath but that bricky material was periodically placed over the pavement during use. All 3 pavements are similar in type, color, and hardness labeled f123 and f124. [Input: S818lR.j] |

| f83 | C1 | 2008-08-06 | The cobblestone pavement was removed after breakfast today with another pavement found below, f80. While cleaning the pavement, a possible drain surfaced f83 constructed of reddish clay with large white inclusions, similar to packing material found under houses and often associated with drains. fAB mentioned that this clay is water tight and thus used as a sealant. The area is still undefined, with only a small portion with a channel exposed. Another pavement is surfacing next to this drain, possibly associated with it with f80. [Input: S806LR.j] |

| f84 | C1 | 2008-08-06 | Finished excavating the southern baulk of k15, coming down to the southern wall of a1, f84. This wall was noticed earlier, at a higher elevation but the bricks were in such poor condition that it was difficult to tell whether it was a wall or brickfall so it was removed. The bricks below are nicer and we were able to articulate it in A19's north section, noticing that the bricks go down below the stone pavement f57, three courses deep. This suggests that the wall was built first, before the stone pavement. [Input: S806LR.j] |
| f84 | C1 | 2008-08-18 | Wall f127 appears to abut f40 on the southern end, these are a series of horizontal bricks that go down several courses then ends approximately 15 cm then f126 wall emerges underneath. At first we assumed that wall f84 continued to run west, so that f127 and f84 was the same wall. This however is not the case. While removing f120, stones emerged, west of f85 wall. These stones continue to go down; at the moment are 3 stones deep but stop to the west. A thick vertical line is also visible where the stones end which would then make f84 a discrete wall with stone foundations at its western edge and another wall, f127 built in the west that abuts f84.

| f98 | C1 | 2008-08-09 | Removed the ash f22 which abuts f98 in the west, exposing the western border of f98, approximately one meter in height. This vertical surface was brushed today with several flat bricks noted. The ash from f22 makes it difficult to distinguish components for the ash obscures the color. One strategy is to shave off 10 cm from the outer surface to create a better vertical section, perhaps exposing brick faces. At the moment we are defining this feature as bricky mass for no brick lines are present with only a sharp distinction between the ash and this hard compact mass. This feature extends north into k12, labeled as f82 and f52. [Input: S809LR.j] |
| f98 | C1 | 2008-08-10 | Initially assigned to the more compact bricky mass in k2, east of ash f22 that overlays and abuts this feature, under the assumption f98 ran along the entire eastern half of the locus. Today while brushing f98, it was discovered that the southern end, approximately 150 cm x 150 cm was still f22 ash and was removed. Furthermore, while scraping f98 we found an area of burning, with white ash, black stains, and larger inclusions of charcoal, pottery, and tannur fragments bounded by bricky material to the north. We thus redefined f98 to run from the north to the south, forming a border between a pink compact bricky mass and f103 ash accumulation. [Input: S810LR2.j] |

| f99 | C1 | 2008-08-09 | Removed the pavement f35 and assigned f90 to the soil underneath the pavement. The matrix appears identical to f35, a gray granular bricky soil but mixed with ash, presumably from f36 that is visible underneath in section. The area was leveled, making it flat to make it easier to see bricks or structures if present. At the end of the day, gray bricks similar to f71 wall in k4, emerged but only 2 bricks. [Input: S809LR.j] |
| f99 | C1 | 2008-08-16 | In k4, we removed several centimeters to come towards the bricks of f99, exposing the faces from the west. Immediately, pavement f112 was found, west of f99. This pavement is under f90, forming a much nicer and more compacted surface than f35 pavement that was found in the same area but 10 cm higher in elevation. Lots of animal bones are sitting on this pavement, including a horn, mandibles, several long bones, and a skull of a smaller animal, perhaps a dog. [Input: S816LR.j] |

| f103 | C1 | 2008-08-10 | Yesterday we stopped excavating f22, leaving the area at the roughly the same elevation as A18 to the immediate south. Today we spent the morning cleaning k2 to define f98. More ash was noticed on the surface of f98, assuming it was f22 that partially covered f98, we began to remove 10 cm. The area then shifted from ashy to concentrated areas of burning with larger inclusions of charcoal, white ash, black stains, pottery, and tannur fragments bounded by f98 presumably bricks or bricky mass in the north. This new feature, f103 was photographed today and 5 cm removed. [Input: S810LR2.j] |

| f104 | C1 | 2008-08-10 | Several holes are present on the western side of f52, interpreted as animal holes although it's strange to have so many on the surface and may be linked to a specific function associated with all the ash and bricky mass. The largest hole, fill f104 has one corner with brick faces suggestive of a possible door but the other side is rounded, appearing more like an animal hole than a doorway. The fill was partially excavated to see if more brick faces surfaced, these faces were found only in the southern end. [Input: S810LR2.j] |
| f104 | C2 | 2008-08-10 | Continue to remove f52 in 10 cm increments, leaving the east section in place to aid in understanding the stratigraphy. We will begin by removing f82 first then approach towards f52 since f82 is softer and easier to remove. [Input: S810LR2.j] |

| f112 | C1 | 2008-08-16 | In k4, we removed several centimeters to come towards the bricks of f99, exposing the faces from the west. Immediately, pavement f112 was found, west of f99. This pavement is under f90, forming a much nicer and more compacted surface than f35 pavement that was found in the same area but 10 cm higher in elevation.

| f112 | C1 | 2008-08-17 | In k3, we photographed the pavement f112 this morning after consolidating the animal bones with diluted wood glue.

He noticed that the skull was not crushed, a strange thing if the skull was left sitting on a pavement for a long period of time. Another point is the presence of a horn tip, a valuable piece that is often reused thus rare to find complete. We then removed the rest of the eastern baulk between k3 and k4 to connect pavement f73 with f112, which are two different levels showing that f73 covers f112. [Input: S818lR.j] |

| f115 | C1 | 2008-08-16 | Continued to remove the eastern section of k101, coming down on more vertical bricks to the east of f115. These bricks may be another course of vertical bricks from f115, forming a thicker wall. [Input: S816LR.j] |
| f115 | C1 | 2008-08-17 | We continued to remove the east section which we are very close to the level of the walls f115 and f85. Vertical bricks were found in the southern end of the baulk, oriented east to west and look very similar to the bricks that f115 is constructed but at a higher elevation (one course higher). These are only 4 bricks with no more vertical bricks found in section. The section on the eastern face was scraped well today, showing faint lines of vertical faces as well in section. It is unclear if f115 forms the cross wall closing the structure to the east, f116, or if f109 wall closes the structure. f116 is constructed of horizontal bricks which would suggest that the cross wall would also be horizontal bricks. f109 are horizontal, so if this is the case then why is a wall made of vertical bricks immediately east of the outer wall. Perhaps f115 forms a bench. [Input: S818lR.j] |

| f117 | C1 | 2008-08-14 | A pavement, f117, was also found under f52 and f82 forming a thick highly compacted floor surface with pottery sherds underneath serving as leveling material for the floor. f117 does not extend north under f64, appearing localized under f52 and f82. This would suggest that f64 is earlier in construction. [Input: S816LR.j] |
| f117 | C1 | 2008-08-17 | In k12, 5 cm was removed from f82, noticing several brick lines but not enough to define a wall. We then began to excavate the vertical section of f82, to see if good brick faces surfaced and to investigate if f117 curls up towards the bricks suggesting an outside floor surface or if the bricky mass sits on the floor. After following several good brick faces we resolved that f117 goes under the presumed bricks, finding a series of pavements at different elevations. This suggests that f52 and f82 were reused over multiple periods of time, laying down new pavements. It also suggests that the bricky mass is not technically a wall due to these multiple pavements underneath but that bricky material was periodically placed over the pavement during use. All 3 pavements are similar in type, color, and hardness labeled f123 and f124. [Input: S818lR.j] |

| f127 | C1 | 2008-08-19 | This morning the north section of k101 was drawn. This section is not the true north section of k101, it is actually our cut into k14 but shows nicely the wall f127 which we plan to remove today. After the section was drawn we then photographed the section, including overhead, oblique, and direct north views. The wall was removed in section, beginning in the eastern area working west, leaving a small section to see the horizontal bricks from two sides. We then proceeded to continue removing the bricks to west, then cleaned out the section and photographed it again. What was in view was bricky material sitting on a nice row of horizontal bricks then several centimeters below, a layer of reddish fine clay appearing similar in shape and size to bricks but much softer than brick.

| i9 | C1 | 2008-07-21 | This item was found with the big pick while removing the brickfall under f27. Midway through the pick run, i9 surfaced sitting upright next to brick fragments. The area was scraped to see if a pit cut was visible, indicating a possible burial or associated floor but nothing was noted with the jar floating in brickfall. The jar is incomplete, missing a portion of the rim and body. The incomplete surface show the jar was broken in antiquity. Relays and photographs were taken before it was removed. [Input: S721LR2.j] |
| i11 | C1 | 2008-07-22 | Broken jar found while removing f27, brick melt. We initially anticipated the brick melt to be deeper since in the trench, the brick melt was approximately 10 cms then brickfall underneath, totally 30 cms until reaching the ash. After removing 10cms in the western half of k3, ash was found with i11 surfacing within the ash. The base is at a slight oblique angle. A large tannur fragment was found immediately to the east and may be associated with the jar. [Input: S722LR.j] |
| i11 | C99 | 2008-07-23 | Removed the jar today after mKB looked at it. The jar while fragmented appears quite complete. After the jar was removed the area was scraped and cleaned revealing several cobblestones below, forming a pavement f43. This contextualizes the jar, associating it with a floor and tannur f29.

| i23 | C1 | 2008-08-06 | Removed the grinding stone that was found in f55, inside a1. The stone was lying horizontal and in place approximately 5 cm from the stone pavement at the same level that the other stone tools were found. This item was photographed this morning in situ, relayed and removed. [Input: S806LR.j] |
| k2 | A30 | 2008-09-12 | similar to k12, this area was left unclear finding the square covered in f22 ash that formed an "L" shape abutting f98 bricky mass. Within the bricky mass a semi-circular area contained several bricks set within ash and appears to be associated with some kind of burning as the black charcoal stains would suggest. In conjunction with my interpretation of k12, this area looks like a production space, outdoor that repeatedly produced ash. Tannur fragments were found in the area of f98 and f103 and extending to the east to k3, a complete tannur was found suggesting the production space continued through from k12, k2, and k3. [Input: S912LR.j] |
| k2 | C1 | 2008-07-14 | finished excavating the topsoil and found a change in the soil matrix, similar to what we found in k12. A more compact surface emerged mixed with soft soil, bricky material, and charcoal fragments, first emerging in the southern half of the locus. A new feature number was assigned and 10 cm removed from the entire locus. [Input: S714LR.j] |
| k2 | C1 | 2008-07-15 | Excavated 10-15 cms of f10 and found f16, compact layer at the end of the day in the northeast corner. [Input: S715LR.j] |
| k2 | C1 | 2008-07-16 | concentrated our efforts in the western half of the locus that is higher in elevation in order to define the stones f13, f15. 15cms was removed from the entire western half of k2 with two pottery lots created that separated soil in the north and to the south. The eastern half of the locus is more excavated than the west, approximately 30 centimeters. This arbitrary section was cleaned today with nothing seen in profile. [Input: S716LR.j] |
| k2 | C1 | 2008-07-17 | this morning the northwest corner was excavated down 5cms. The area showed several brick faces but resulted in only broken and eroded bricks mixed with the surrounding matrix so was removed we then continued to excavate f14, which remains concentrated in western half of the locus. Approximately 10 cms was removed, defining f15 better, a medium sized stone with no other features associated with it. While excavating the soil began to shift from a lighter bricky material to softer and ashier. A new feature was assigned, f22. [Input: S718LR.j] |
| k2 | C1 | 2008-07-19 | excavated 10cms of f22 to level the feature. Patches of compact brick melt surfaced while excavating f22 but does not form a complete surface. These patches were left in place. [Input: S719LR.j] |
| k2 | C1 | 2008-07-20 | The east section was drawn, photographed, and removed today under f8 topsoil. f27 continued under the baulk, connecting k2 and k3 together. [Input: S720LR.j] |
| k2 | C1 | 2008-07-21 | Square drawn by eE today [Input: S721LR2.j] |
| k2 | C1 | 2008-07-22 | Starting in the locus by removing f27 brick melt, found only in the extreme east and west. Below, ash was found f22 with several stones and a large tannur fragment surfacing in the northeast corner of k2. We then proceeded to remove 5cms of the ash from the eastern area of the locus in order to level the locus (this area is higher in elevation than the west). [Input: S722LR.j] |
| k2 | C1 | 2008-07-23 | Removed 5-10 cms of ash in the entire locus, focusing on leveling out the area and removing patches of compact bricky material. The large stone in the west section, f12 was finally removed today along with the pillar of soil holding it pedastooled. Some fragments of carbonized wood were found in the southern corner of the locus, collected as a specimen. [Input: S723LR.j] |
| k2 | C1 | 2008-07-30 | north section was drawn and photographed this morning and the south section on A18's side was photographed. The baulk was divided into sections, removing first the topsoil then the accumulation below f10, followed by f22, ash. Carbonized wood was found in f22, along with 7 scorpions. The entire day was spent removing this baulk. [Input: S731LR.j] |
| k2 | C1 | 2008-08-02 | Started to remove the north section of k2 this morning beginning with f8 topsoil. [Input: S802LR.j] |
| k2 | C1 | 2008-08-04 | removed 10 cm from f22, ash in the southern half of the locus. [Input: S804LR.j] |
| k2 | C1 | 2008-08-05 | Continued from yesterday to remove the ash f22 in the south area and level the area out. The western side continues to be more compact, pinkish in color but irregular in shape. This surface has been left pedastooled, focusing on removing the ash. [Input: S805LR2.j] |
| k2 | C1 | 2008-08-09 | On S807 we reached the elevation of A18's pebble and sherd pavement in k12 and decided to stop excavating the ash. We then moved into k2, excavated f22 down 15 cm to reach the same elevation as k12 and A18. By the end of the day, this was achieved. Some small patches remain in the southeast corner that will be removed tomorrow. [Input: S809LR.j] |
| k2 | C1 | 2008-08-10 | Yesterday we stopped excavating f22, leaving the area at the roughly the same elevation as A18 to the immediate south. Today we spent the morning cleaning k2 to define f98. More ash was noticed on the surface of f98, assuming it was f22 that partially covered f98, we began to remove 10 cm. The area then shifted from ashy to concentrated areas of burning with larger inclusions of charcoal, white ash, black stains, pottery, and tannur fragments bounded by f98 presumably bricks or bricky mass in the north. This new feature, f103 was photographed today and 5 cm removed. [Input: S810LR2.j] |
| k2 | C2 | 2008-07-12 | We plan to open this locus tomorrow and will start by removing a berm that crosses k1,k2, and k3. The north section of A18 will also be cleaned in order to see the stratigraphic profile. [Input: S712LR.j] |
| k2 | C2 | 2008-07-16 | Tomorrow, the bricks faces that surfaced today should be defined to see if they are in situ or brick fall. Since the area remains unclear, we will continue to use the small pick to eventually arrive to the same elevation as the eastern half of the locus. [Input: S716LR.j] |

| k3 | A30 | 2008-09-12 | k3 appears to correlate with k2 and k12, forming a large outdoor production space where activities involving the use of fire occurred given that two tannurs f100 and f42 were found sitting in f36 ash, along with f68 brick pile forming a platform to sit f100 tannur into. The presence of a3 drainage system to the north complements that idea of an outdoor space with several rough pavements to the east, defining an "L" shaped pavement bordering a structure, walls f99 and f107. [Input: S912LR.j] |
| k3 | C1 | 2008-07-14 | opened this locus today and began to remove the topsoil layer in the western half of the locus, f9. The matrix is softer here than in any locus and by the end of the day the soil became softer with a grayish coloring. We stopped excavating at this level, assuming we are below topsoil, and will continue to remove the rest of the topsoil in the other half of the locus. [Input: S714LR.j] |
| k3 | C1 | 2008-07-15 | Excavated the western half of the locus, removing f13 and came down to f17 compact layer. [Input: S715LR.j] |
| k3 | C1 | 2008-07-20 | The north section was drawn, photographed, and removed today. The entire baulk was removed as f9, topsoil. Once the baulk was removed, the area was scraped to find the compact brick melt f27 continuing, uniting k13 and k3. [Input: S720LR.j] |
| k3 | C1 | 2008-07-21 | A 2X4 meter trench was cut next to the east section running north to south to provide a sectional view of the brick melt and material below. A similar trench was cut in k13. The first pick run removed 8 cms of the brick melt showing an uneven surface with some areas retaining more of the brickmelt while some areas were showing a soft brown soil, similar to fill but not contained by anything. The compact surface was then removed, leaving the softer layer below. The feature was changed to f29 layer however after excavating another 8 cms down this layer proved to be not uniformly soft but contained fragments of broken bricks within a soft fill similar to f30. Another 5 cms was removed with ash now surfacing towards the west and north with several small stones emerging in the north. The area was left at this level, tomorrow a new feature will be assigned for the ash. [Input: S721LR2.j] |
| k3 | C1 | 2008-07-22 | continued to excavate f31 this morning, the interface between the end of brickfall and ash. In the north portion of the trench, more ash surfaced with small cobbles, tannur fragments, and animal bones. Moving south of this area, a pebble and sherd pavement emerged below f31 extending towards the south. Great care was taken to expose the pavement, spending the entire morning articulating the surface. Plastic tarp was laid down to protect it. After the area was cleaned, we proceeded to excavate beyond the trench towards the west starting with removing 10cms of the brick melt. Approximately 10cms down, a broken jar was found in place, i11. The area was scraped and determined that the brick melt was thinner in this area, reaching ash 10cms below. The jar is not lying flat on a surface but suspended in the ashy with the base at a slight oblique angle. Immediately to the east of the jar, 5cms lower is a large fragment of a tannur or andiron embedded in the ash f36. The entire north area of k3 was cleaned resulting in brick faces and lines but in poor condition making it difficult to determine if these bricks are part of a wall or brickfall. [Input: S722LR.j] |
| k3 | C1 | 2008-07-23 | Yesterday i11 jar was found within an interface between the ash f36 and bricky material f29 along with tannur fragments and small stones within ash however no floor surface was found. Today while excavating around the area where i11 was located, more cobble stones were found appearing similar to a floor surface along with a tannur. The pavement was assigned f43, the tannur f42. In the south, large fragments of bricks were found horizontally with soft ash surrounding it, still part of f29. The softer soil was removed, exposing the brick components which appear to divide the ash between the southeast and southwest quadrants of k3, perhaps a crude retaining wall. [Input: S723LR.j] |
| k3 | C1 | 2008-07-24 | finished excavating f31 today, revealing more broken bricks around the tannur area. f42, tannur, was photographed today and yM, sE and lR began to excavate the fill. The reason for excavating the tannur is to see the depth of the tannur. Typically at Mozan tannurs sit on floors with only 5 cms remaining of the base. In the Mittani levels, A18 contained several tannur ovens and cooking installations that are different from the earlier phases. The Mittani ovens found were pedastooled or propped up by bricks allowing the person using the tannur to stand instead of squatting down. If the walls of f42 go down then the tannur dates to the same phase as the Mittani structures in A18 rather than a later phase that built over the earlier ash fills. [Input: S725LR.j] |
| k3 | C1 | 2008-07-30 | The north section was drawn today and the south section, on A18's side, was photographed then proceeded to remove the section. The baulk was excavated via features, removing the topsoil, then accumulation f9, followed by ash. [Input: S731LR.j] |
| k3 | C1 | 2008-08-04 | removed the sherds and cobblestones from the pavement f43 today with another pavement found underneath. [Input: S804LR.j] |
| k3 | C1 | 2008-08-05 | removed f50 today, the cobblestone pavement [Input: S805LR2.j] |
| k3 | C1 | 2008-08-07 | In k3, the ash f36 was removed around the tannur and the vertical bricks of f68. This ash appears to go under f35 pavement. [Input: S809LR.j] |
| k3 | C1 | 2008-08-09 | In k3, the ash f36 was excavated today finding that our initial assumption about the ash abutting the pavement f35 was wrong. The ash appears to go under the pavement and we thus decided to remove the pavement f35. By the end of the day, bricks emerged in the southeast, likely associated with the bricks in k4, f71 wall. [Input: S809LR.j] |
| k3 | C1 | 2008-08-10 | We then shifted into k12, removing 10 cm of f82 and a strip running N-S of f52. This material was incredibly hard, coming out in large brick chunks but much harder and compact than regular sun baked clay. This material seems to be secondarily fired, perhaps exposed to low heat from whatever created all the ash f22, f24. Several holes are present on the western side of f52, interpreted as animal holes although it's strange to have so many on the surface and may be linked to a specific function associated with all the ash and bricky mass. The largest hole, fill f104 has one corner with brick faces suggestive of a possible door but the other side is rounded, appearing more like an animal hole than a doorway. The fill was partially excavated to see if more brick faces surfaced, these faces were found only in the southern end. [Input: S810LR2.j] |
| k3 | C1 | 2008-08-10 | In k3, we started to remove the topsoil from the eastern section reaching the compact layer f17 by the end of the day. We plan to eventually remove the entire east section on the next working day. [Input: S810LR2.j] |
| k3 | C1 | 2008-08-17 | In k3, we photographed the pavement f112 this morning after consolidating the animal bones with diluted wood glue. We then removed the bones from the pavement to protect them from getting crushed. fAB made a good point yesterday about the animal skull sitting on the pavement. He noticed that the skull was not crushed, a strange thing if the skull was left sitting on a pavement for a long period of time. Another point is the presence of a horn tip, a valuable piece that is often reused thus rare to find complete. We then removed the rest of the eastern baulk between k3 and k4 to connect pavement f73 with f112, which are two different levels showing that f73 covers f112. [Input: S818lR.j] |
| k3 | C2 | 2008-07-12 | We plan to open this locus tomorrow and will start by removing a berm that crosses k1,k2, and k3. The north section of A18 will also be cleaned in order to see the stratigraphic profile. [Input: S712LR.j] |
| k3 | C2 | 2008-08-06 | I hestitate to remove the east baulk of k3 for the section shows nicely the brickmelt but the advantage of removing the baulk would be to show a continuation of f35 with f73. Tomorrow we will start to remove the baulk. [Input: S806LR.j] |

| k4 | A30 | 2008-09-12 | This was the last locus to be opened this excavation season. Findings in this locus resulted in exposing the corner of a mudbrick structure (walls f107 and f99) and another wall f129 in the north. To the north and west of the structure, a beautiful pebble and sherd pavement was found, f112, representing one pavement in a series of three found in the same area. Similar to k12, a small bin was found to the south of wall f107 containing different soil than the outside area likely forming a place to store things during the reuse period (the soil was quite clean) with possibly the structure being earlier in construction contemporary to the construction of a700. The orientation of the walls is similar to f97 wall to the north but differs from the orientation of the larger walls a700 and a701 suggesting that f97 could be the northern walls of this structure. [Input: S912LR.j] |
| k4 | C1 | 2008-08-02 | Opened k4 this morning after placing the baulk strings back in position (they were taken down for safety reasons). The east baulk was extended 50cms west as a precaution to add more room to the unstable eastern edge for it drops 5 meters into A19. This locus is also an additional meter shorter, excavated by A19 using a different grid system than A20 that cuts into the eastern side of k4. The topsoil, f66 was removed, approximately 30 cm down the compact brick melt layer was reached but only in patches was the surface as compact as f27 The locus was strung incorrectly this morning resulting in the distance between m4715 and m3415 measuring only 85cms. The mistake was noticed after the square was excavated and will be left as is. [Input: S802LR.j] |
| k4 | C1 | 2008-08-04 | articulated the wall f71 today, excavated f69 finding f73 pavement below that is at the same elevation as f35. The pavement f73 contains lots of animal bone, with an almost complete jaw (animal unknown) lying on the surface. [Input: S804LR.j] |
| k4 | C1 | 2008-08-05 | Spent the morning articulating the pavement f73, exposing many fragmented animal bones embedded in the pavement. The pavement is irregular in level, likely a simple outdoor floor surface unintentionally created. Once the pavement was fully exposed, it was cleaned, and covered in plastic to protect it for a photograph tomorrow. In the south, f71 was defined, excavating north and south of the bricks. No more bricks were found with the material north of the bricks showing a grayish soil while to the south; f79 was brown, containing phytoliths. Since the soil between these two areas was so different, we created f79 as a new feature to separate between the soils, possibly fill within a bin. [Input: S805LR2.j] |
| k4 | C1 | 2008-08-06 | photographed the pavement f73 and f72, and covered it. The strategy is to remove the animal bones embedded on the surface which tend to be damaged more easily then we will draw the east baulk of k3 and remove it. I hestitate to remove the east baulk of k3 for the section shows nicely the brickmelt but the advantage of removing the baulk would be to show a continuation of f35 with f73. [Input: S806LR.j] |
| k4 | C1 | 2008-08-14 | In k4, bricks f99 were articulated today, these continue to run south forming a nice wall that intersects with f107 wall, running west to east. [Input: S816LR.j] |
| k4 | C1 | 2008-08-16 | In k4, we removed several centimeters to come towards the bricks of f99, exposing the faces from the west. Immediately, pavement f112 was found, west of f99. This pavement is under f90, forming a much nicer and more compacted surface than f35 pavement that was found in the same area but 10 cm higher in elevation. Lots of animal bones are sitting on this pavement, including a horn, mandibles, several long bones, and a skull of a smaller animal, perhaps a dog. [Input: S816LR.j] |

| k12 | A30 | 2008-09-12 | mxcavations in k12, the northwestern square, revealed a large mass of bricky material harder in the north and becoming softer to the south. To the far north, brick faces were found, defining a thick wall running west to east. This wall continued to go down for approximately a meter with no clear floor surface associated with it. f118, a brown compact layer found next to f84 is assumed to be the floor surface that f64 sits on however this remains unclear. To the south of f64, the bricky mass f52 and f82 both have the same floor surfaces f124, f123, and f117 underneath the bricky material making it clear that the bricky masses f52 and f82 are not walls, which I initially assumed. The multiple layers of hard compact floor surfaces with pottery pieces (f117, f123, f124) suggests the area was used for multiple periods of time and contrasts sharply to the multiple pavements in k13, f35, f112 and f122 with the floors in k12 much harder and denser. Inside the bricky mass f82, an installation was found labeled as f114 and f113. We described it as a bin containing three walls with several semi-circles inside the bin. These features were left unexcavated. A large amount of ash was found to the west of the bricky mass and wall f64 that continued to go down abutting the bricky mass for over a meter. At the end we really had no resolution since no good floor surface was found to indicate an outdoor street or a north-south wall to define f52 and f82 bricky mass. My general impressions are that this area was an outdoor area used as a kiln with f114 being the inside of a rectangular kiln and the ash f24 the waste from the kiln use. This would explain why f52 and f82 are so compact and the multiple floor surfaces as the kiln was continued to be reused and raised over time. [Input: S912LR.j] |
| k12 | C1 | 2008-07-13 | We opened this locus today and started by removing the topsoil level. We removed approximately 20 centimeters from the entire locus and found several brick faces and sherds lying flat. The topsoil q-lot was closed and a new feature f5 assigned the accumulation above the bricks and sherds. [Input: S713LR.j] |
| k12 | C1 | 2008-07-14 | Photographed entire locus this morning to show the relationship between f6, f5 and emerging stones; Refer to v3, v3a. A close-up of the sherd lense and brick face was also taken. [Input: S714LR.j] |
| k12 | C1 | 2008-07-15 | Excavated f6 today which is located in the eastern half of the locus and came down on f18, the same compact surface seen in k13 f7, k3 f17, and k2 f16. By the end of the day we defined this layer which slopes down in the south and possibly continues under f5. This morning, f11 was assigned to the stones in the north-east corner. A gap exists between the two clusters of stones but no difference noted between the soil inside this gap and the surrounding matrix. [Input: S715LR.j] |
| k12 | C1 | 2008-07-17 | concentrated on excavating the western half of this locus to reach either f18, compact layer or similar elevation as the eastern side. Excavated 10cms of f5, finding more sherds laying flat. The sherds were made into a feature, f23 sherd pavement. The features were drawn and relayed with the strategy to remove them tomorrow to see if f18 continues below. [Input: S718LR.j] |
| k12 | C1 | 2008-07-19 | assigned the sherd pavement f23 and removed it along with f11, stone installation. The entire western half of the locus was excavated 20cms, reaching patches of f18 compact brick melt mixed with ash. The east section was drawn and photographed, with half the section removed today. [Input: S719LR.j] |
| k12 | C1 | 2008-07-20 | finished removing the eastern baulk, following f27 to unify k12 and k13. [Input: S720LR.j] |
| k12 | C1 | 2008-07-28 | In k12, a dramatic distinction exists between f24 and f52, not only in color but texture and hardness. To establish the relationship between these two features, we began the day by removing 5 cm from the southeast corner leaving the contact area between the two features in tact to test if f52 continues down or if f24 lies under f52. f52 was found sloping down with f24 clearly coming up to f52. A total of 15 cm was removed from the entire southeast corner then expanded to the north to level out the rest of the feature. While excavating a tannur fragment was found, q94.1, with one surface complete and the other abraded. The tannur piece was floating in the ash without any floor surface visible. The ash alternated from some areas showing black stains while some areas are slightly more compact and brown. f52 continues to go down but stopped excavating this feature after breakfast due to insufficient tents for shade. Tomorrow we will continue to excavate this feature. [Input: S728LR.j] |
| k12 | C1 | 2008-07-29 | Set up a small trench in f52, north side to define this bricky mass which we are assuming is a structure. The trench 1x1 abuts the north section extending until the east section. Approximately 10 cm was removed, showing clear bricks below forming a wall. The western outer corner was so undefined that a section was cut; removing melted brick fragments, exposing light gray-pink bricks below (the same color as the brick melt f27). The area was then expanded to include half of f52, working south to see if the bricks continued. The ashy accumulation in the west, f24 was also excavated today, removing approximately 15 cm from the entire feature. It still continues to go down, which is expected as the north section of A18 shows clearly thick ash accumulations. [Input: S729LR.j] |
| k12 | C1 | 2008-08-04 | defined the area south of the wall f64 by removing the softer material over a harder bricky surface. To the south, the compactness changes and becomes more like brick fall than what is visible to the north. Possibly brick faces are visible in the east section, perhaps forming a wall running north to south, meeting f64 wall in the north. [Input: S804LR.j] |
| k12 | C1 | 2008-08-06 | Excavated the ashy accumulation f24 today, removing 10 cm from the entire western half of the locus. The area began to show alternating layers of pink, gray, and darker ash which was cleaned then covered for photographs tomorrow. We then moved east to define the area south of f52 which shows less compactness then f52, resembling brickfall. 10 cm was removed from this feature today and cleaned. The east section was also removed to define the bricks visible in section. Only a few centimeters was removed from the section. [Input: S806LR.j] |
| k12 | C1 | 2008-08-07 | Spent the day removing f24 ash to the west of f52 to reach the same elevation as the pebble and sherd floor in A18. This is not the end of the ash, with the wall f64 continuing to go down but for now we are stopping at this elevation. The ash continued to slope down, alternating between pink and gray. [Input: S809LR.j] |
| k12 | C1 | 2008-08-09 | In k12, the brick wall f64 was defined finding an ashy fill f88 between the bricks. We plan to cut a small trench through f52 to see what this bricky mass could be. [Input: S809LR.j] |
| k12 | C1 | 2008-08-14 | In k12, we continued to remove the ash f24 in the hope that a pavement surfaces to find the depth of f52 and f64 wall. By the end of the day, a brown slightly compact layer was found under the ash f24, labeled f118. This layer still contains lots of charcoal and ash embedded but maybe the interface between a floor surface and the ash f24. A pavement, f117, was also found under f52 and f82 forming a thick highly compacted floor surface with pottery sherds underneath serving as leveling material for the floor. f117 does not extend north under f64, appearing localized under f52 and f82. This would suggest that f64 is earlier in construction. [Input: S816LR.j] |
| k12 | C1 | 2008-08-17 | In k12, 5 cm was removed from f82, noticing several brick lines but not enough to define a wall. We then began to excavate the vertical section of f82, to see if good brick faces surfaced and to investigate if f117 curls up towards the bricks suggesting an outside floor surface or if the bricky mass sits on the floor. After following several good brick faces we resolved that f117 goes under the presumed bricks, finding a series of pavements at different elevations. This suggests that f52 and f82 were reused over multiple periods of time, laying down new pavements. It also suggests that the bricky mass is not technically a wall due to these multiple pavements underneath but that bricky material was periodically placed over the pavement during use. All 3 pavements are similar in type, color, and hardness, labeled f123 and f124. [Input: S818lR.j] |
| k12 | C1 | 2008-08-18 | In k12, continued to remove 5 cm from f82 then scraped the ash f24 to expose f118. [Input: S818lR.j] |

| k13 | A30 | 2008-09-12 | In k13 we found a large thick mudbrick wall running west to east along the north baulk with another wall f105 immediately to the south of the first wall. It remains unknown whether both these walls are contemporary with each other as they were found at similar elevations but clearly do not bond with each other. This type of wall construction was found in A18, with the inside walls of a structure supported by another wall on the outside, presumably to help support the inner wall which was vaulted. In k13, either this is the same situation with the southern wall under a3 drain, or that f41 is the inner wall with the room located to the north under the north baulk. To the south of these two walls, a drainage channel was found. The orientation or where the water would have drained into remains unclear with two channels, one to the north constructed of clay (f83) and is oriented southwest to northeast, and the other to the southeast constructed of stones leading into the street with pavements f112 f122. The features found in the area support the idea that this space was a production area, outdoor with multiple areas of firing with the drainage channel used in conjunction with these production activities. The deepest feature we have in k13 is the stone installation found in the last week of excavations that is under and earlier than the drainage channel. The stones are clustered together in an irregular pattern suggesting more of a tomb or grave rather than a pavement. [Input: S912LR.j] |
| k13 | C1 | 2008-07-13 | Opened this locus today and started by removing the topsoil level. Approximately 15 centimeters was removed by the end of the day with a hard compact surface emerging in the southwest corner. Tomorrow we will follow this level to define the boundaries. [Input: S713LR.j] |
| k13 | C1 | 2008-07-14 | Yesterday at the end of the day f7 emerged in the southwest corner. Today we continued to follow this surface and found that it throughout the entire locus. We therefore completely removed the topsoil layer leaving the bricky compact surface, f7, exposed. [Input: S714LR.j] |
| k13 | C1 | 2008-07-15 | this locus was not excavated today since we are trying to get down to the same compact surface in all four loci. [Input: S715LR.j] |
| k13 | C1 | 2008-07-19 | east section drawn and photographed. Removed half of the section today to link the brickmelt in k13 to k14. [Input: S719LR.j] |
| k13 | C1 | 2008-07-21 | A 2x4 meter trench was cut next to the north section running west to east to provide a sectional view of the brick melt and the material below. The first pick run cracked and removed the hard brick melt, measured 5-10 cms in thickness with softer soil found under f27. The area was scraped, patches of broken bricks within a soft fill was present however in some areas the compact brick melt was still visible. Another pick run removed 8 cms, finding the same broken bricks with soft fill throughout the entire trench. The feature was then changed to f30, brickfall and another 8 cms was removed starting from the eastern end of the trench. Midway through the prick run a small jar, i9 was found sitting up next to brick fragments. No pit cut or floor was noted. The jar was then photographed, relayed, and removed. [Input: S721LR2.j] |
| k13 | C1 | 2008-07-22 | After removing f27 from the north trench in k13, the soil shifted from compact to soft fill mixed with bricks. This morning the western half of the trench was excavated to the level of the eastern half that was left after i9 was found. In this area f30 turned more compact with larger components of bricks visible yet no clear definition suggesting a wall so it was removed. The entire trench was then carefully leveled, scraped, and brushed. Orange bricks surfaced in the northwest corner with clear gray mortar lines visible both in plan and profile view. To the south of the bricks a small area with over fired clay emerged, unclear if this is a brick that was used as a heating surface. The clay here is light yellow and powdery. [Input: S722LR.j] |
| k13 | C1 | 2008-07-24 | Began the day by removing f27 in the southern half of the locus. f27 had a hard crust, flaking off in large pieces with the top more compact. Approximately 10 cms down, the matrix became very soft mixed with some hard clay patches which were easily removed using a trowel. Small stones were found immediately in the south, the extension of f43 in k3 and assigned f50 but only extending 150cms to the north. The stones form a crude pavement that slopes up higher in k13 and appears to sit on soft ash. The presence of this pavement at a higher elevation than we anticipated finding Mittani occupation suggests a later phase, an outdoor area given the pavements found that build over the earlier Mittani level, in this case the ash visible in north section of A18. The lack of brick structures at the elevation of the pavement f50 in all the loci excavated thus far brings up the question as to the origin of the brick melt f27. With the amount and extension of f27 brick melt in 5 loci, one would expect to find bricks structures in the area. gB suggested this outdoor area must be associated with structures that are outside the excavation unit. Bricks have surfaced in the northwest corner of k13, perhaps the structures are to the north. [Input: S725LR.j] |
| k13 | C1 | 2008-07-28 | Removed 10 cm, starting from the east towards the west following an ash layer that was found below the brickfall f30. The ash proved to be only localized within a small area yet we continued to remove 10cms from the area to see if better defined bricks were below. At the end of the day, bricks were found in the west, and lines present in the east but still very unclear and confusing. f41 is now starting to form a either a thick wall of 5 bricks wide or a pavement. One argument for defining f41 as a pavement rests on the burned area sitting on one of the bricks of f41, similar to a hearth of some sort. This could be also a reuse of the original wall, setting a hearth, f59, over the wall after abandonment and build-up of the area. [Input: S728LR.j] |
| k13 | C1 | 2008-07-29 | Yesterday more bricks were found in the northwest corner extending to the east however the eastern boundary remained unclear. Today we focused on excavating the eastern half of the locus, removing humps of soil and making everything level. Two pick runs were done, one as f30, as the area was still bricky and hard but after we noticed the feature changing. A new feature was assigned, f60 accumulation bounded or associated with wall f41. The soil turned ashy, softer, with large amounts of animal bones and sherds present. In the northeast in line with f41 more bricks surfaced indicating that the wall runs into the east, under the baulk. Bricks are also present in k14 east; if this is the same wall then this is either a very large structure or else a wall delineating an area serving as a fence. [Input: S729LR.j] |
| k13 | C1 | 2008-08-02 | removed the east section today [Input: S802LR.j] |
| k13 | C1 | 2008-08-06 | removed the cobblestone pavement f50 finding another pavement f80 below and possible drain f83. [Input: S806LR.j] |
| k13 | C1 | 2008-08-07 | In k13 and k14, we removed f60 and f62, two similar accumulations gray in color and full of animal bones and pottery. [Input: S809LR.j] |
| k13 | C1 | 2008-08-09 | In k13, f60 was excavated and fully removed this morning. Underneath f60 the soil shifted from ashy and full of animal bones to light gray, compact, with several brick lines, very similar to what was found at the same elevation in k14, f87. Another 10 cm was removed from this feature, f89, with several bricks found in the north next to f60. [Input: S809LR.j] |

| k14 | A30 | 2008-09-12 | In k14, two walls a700 and a701 were excavated along the north baulk, forming a thick wall running west to east. Two small rooms were also discovered a4 and a6, both containing cobblestone pavements at roughly the same elevation. The rooms are very small and narrow, forming perhaps a corridor, passageway, or street rather than the floor of a room. A vertical mudbrick pile, referred often as the box structure, was found resting on one of the cobblestone pavements in a6. The function of these bricks remains unknown and likely formed a type of platform during the reuse occupation period or part of a wall collapse although it doesn't seem plausible that a wall would fall this nicely. An entrance into the street/corridor is visible in the east between walls f86 and f152 containing a small door socket on one of the corners. [Input: S912LR.j] |
| k14 | C1 | 2008-07-16 | opened locus today and started by removing f19 topsoil with the strategy to see if the compact layer seen in the other loci extends into k14. The topsoil was thin in this locus, given that the tell slopes to the east so by the end of the day compact bricky material surfaced in the western half of the locus. [Input: S716LR.j] |
| k14 | C1 | 2008-07-20 | f27 continues into k14 however the texture differs in the eastern area where by k15, the brick melt is no longer compact showing distinct fragments of bricks. Today after the section between k3 and k2 were removed, the locus was brushed to see if f27 dips down in the eastern side. Small patches were noted under a softer accumulation but do not form a solid compact surface that is visible in k13. [Input: S720LR.j] |
| k14 | C1 | 2008-07-22 | f27 is found to the extreme west of the k14 but in the east, the compaction decreases turning more into brickfall with a patch of sherds surfacing in the eastern half. We decided to focus on the eastern half by first seeing if the sherds, f33, continued. 3cms was removed (f32) exposing a rectangular expansion of the sherds f33 running north to south with larger stones emerging at the southwestern end. The stones, f34 appear to be in line possibly forming a wall. [Input: S722LR.j] |
| k14 | C1 | 2008-07-23 | removed f33 sherd pavement, finding more large stones underneath but does not extend to the north baulk. 8 cms was removed east of f34 stones to better define the area and see it the stones continue to go down. Tomorrow we will continue to excavate in this area. [Input: S723LR.j] |
| k14 | C1 | 2008-07-24 | After the removal of f33, sherd pavement, the area to the east of the stones was excavated to see if the stones f34 continue to go down. They do not but another sherd pavement was found under f33. This pavement, f48, was found and excavated by lC, consisting of smaller sherds and pebbles than f33 but retaining the same width and length as the previous pavement. [Input: S725LR.j] |
| k14 | C1 | 2008-07-28 | A few days ago we noticed vertical bricks, f56, in the southeast corner of k14 but unclear how far north they extend. These bricks are lower, approx 30 cm from f34 stones and run into the east baulk where they are visible in k15 labeled as f40. The northeast corner was excavated going south to see if more bricks were found eventually removing 20 cm and finding both vertical and horizontal bricks. In some areas the bricks appear to form a step but this is likely a result of excavation where the top eroded bricks are unclear and thus removed, eventually making steps to reach better bricks. [Input: S728LR.j] |
| k14 | C1 | 2008-07-29 | Continued to remove f58, in 10 cm increments for a total of 20 cm starting from the south end working towards the north. Under f58, stones began to emerge labeled as f61. These are rounded cobbles, similar in size to f50 and f43 located in the western side of k14 south of f63 wall. Bricks also emerged north of f58, possibly part of f41 wall in k13 that extends east into k14. The soil around f61 was given a new feature number, f63, to distinguish between f58 compact layer and the matrix to the south and east of f61. [Input: S729LR.j] |
| k14 | C1 | 2008-08-02 | The east section was photographed and drawn today [Input: S802LR.j] |
| k14 | C1 | 2008-08-02 | the east section was drawn, photographed, and removed today. The soil under f34 and f48 was also excavated as f58, leveled to f62. The bricks from f56 were found under f34, extending to the west but are broken and difficult to understand. [Input: S802LR.j] |
| k14 | C1 | 2008-08-04 | finished removing the east section today and articulated the bricks from f56 which connect with f40 in k15. [Input: S804LR.j] |
| k14 | C1 | 2008-08-06 | The box structure, f40 was cut into two section in order to understand it's construction. Sections on the north and east were cut, showing that both half and whole bricks were used in construction with the east section also showing the bricks stepped up between levels. Photographs will be taken tomorrow before more of the bricks are removed. The western end of the structure was also defined by removing 5 cm from f62 and coming towards the structure. [Input: S806LR.j] |
| k14 | C1 | 2008-08-07 | In k13 and k14, we removed f60 and f62, two similar accumulations gray in color and full of animal bones and pottery. In k14, after f62 was removed, brick lines surfaced in the south and west of the loci, adjacent to f63 wall indicating another one room structure. [Input: S809LR.j] |
| k14 | C1 | 2008-08-09 | In k14, f87 was excavated. This feature defines the space between three brick lines found yesterday in the north, east, and south. 20 cm was excavated from f87 then a patch of stones surfaced suggesting a possible pavement. Excavation was stopped, the area cleaned and photographs taken. Tomorrow we will excavate to see if the stones form a pavement. The eastern wall was defined this morning, finding a series of thin vertical oblique bricks forming the wall f92. These types of bricks are rather unusual, perhaps associated with a2 f40 box structure. [Input: S809LR.j] |
| k14 | C1 | 2008-08-10 | In k14, the accumulation above the pavement f93 was excavated revealing the cobblestones continuing in the area, stopping approximately 10 cm before the edge of the wall f97. In the western area, two bricks were found and an area of burning was noticed under these bricks. The area was closed to take photographs on the next work day. [Input: S810LR2.j] |

| k15 | A30 | 2008-09-12 | In k15, we uncovered early in the excavation season a one room structure labeled as a1 resting on a nice stone pavement f57. It is unclear whether the walls of a1 were built specifically for the pavement with some doubts due to its flimsy construction. It seems more plausible that f86 and f157, mudbrick walls in the west, are the original walls for the room with an entrance between the two walls leading into the corridor a6 then into a4. The construction of this pavement is similar to the stones from f108 pavement as they are larger in side and lying more regular or flatter than the pavements in a4, a6, and a5. [Input: S912LR.j] |
| k15 | C1 | 2008-07-17 | opened this locus today, started by removing 10cms from f21 topsoil. [Input: S718LR.j] |
| k15 | C1 | 2008-07-19 | finished removing the topsoil in the eastern half of the locus. f26 was assigned to the material below topsoil, this is a mixture of brick melt and abandonment material which is much softer, contains more inclusions than the brick melt. Towards the western side of the locus, the brick melt is compact but changes to the east. Several stones surfaced after the topsoil was removed, f25 along with fragments of a possible andiron in poor condition. The southwest corner was excavated 5cms to expose a possible pit cut associated with f25 however nothing was noted after excavation. [Input: S719LR.j] |
| k15 | C1 | 2008-07-22 | removed 15cms from the entire locus today. In the morning brick lines were visible that resemble bricks lying vertical. More bricks, lying horizontally, were found in the northeast corner. A19's north section drawing was referenced, showing a mud brick wall running west to east in profile. This suggests that we possibly have the other wall, forming a possible structure. f26 was kept as the matrix covering these bricks until the area is better defined to assign separate feature numbers. [Input: S722LR.j] |
| k15 | C1 | 2008-07-23 | Photographed the emerging bricks today then began to excavate the southeast corner to expose the brick faces. After 10cms was removed, nice brick faces were present showing a corner and two walls, one running east to west and the north to south. The accumulation bounded within the walls was assigned f39 and excavated another 10 cms. To the west, 3cms was removed to try to define the brick surfaces better. The area still remains unclear but more bricks are present, forming possibly another corner of a structure. [Input: S723LR.j] |
| k15 | C1 | 2008-07-24 | today we focused on defining the outer surface of the brick structure. 20 cms was excavated west of f46 wall, and 20cms north of f38 wall. Brick faces were found on f38, no faces were noted on f46. The area to the west, around f40 proved difficult to understand. Brick lines were noticed in plan view however when excavated, no difference was noted between the matrix of the brick and the matrix around it. One option would be to remove several cms from the area to see if better brick lines emerge. [Input: S725LR.j] |
| k15 | C1 | 2008-07-28 | continued excavating inside the small structure, assigning a new feature number, f55 for the accumulation as we are approximately 15 cm from the floor surface. The soil here contained large pieces of pottery, stone tools, broken bricks, along with a human tooth complete with the root (maxillary first incisor side to be determined). The area west and north of the structure were also excavated, f44 to expose the stones f57 below. It is unclear if the stones go under the bricks and form the floor of a1. [Input: S728LR.j] |
| k15 | C1 | 2008-08-05 | excavated the south section, a continuation of the fill inside a1 in an attempt to find the southern wall. Nothing was found. West of a1, still in the southern section, a corner was found from bricks to the north, possibly from a wall under the south section of k14. [Input: S805LR2.j] |

| k25 | C1 | 2008-08-16 | We opened this locus today removing approximately 10 cm in half of the square by the end of the day however after the stratigraphic meeting, it was decided to scale back excavations, thus closing k25. The area was leveled and cleaned. [Input: S816LR.j] |
| k26 | C1 | 2008-08-16 | We opened this locus today removing approximately 10 cm in half of the square by the end of the day however after the stratigraphic meeting, it was decided to scale back excavations, thus closing k26. The area was leveled and cleaned. [Input: S816LR.j] |
| k101 | A30 | 2008-09-12 | This area was excavated mostly in the later half of the excavation season and was previously excavated by area J1 then renamed A19 but subsumed by A20 thus no pottery lots or features technically exist under the label A19 with future plans to relabeled everything as A19. The stratigraphy was reconstructed using old notes and drawings for k101 excluding the easternmost locus since it was excavated all the way down to phase 2. The features that were present were incorporated into A20, given new feature numbers and re-described. No attempts were made to correlate earlier accumulations above these features to A20. k101 was the most interesting and deepest excavation area consisting of a large one room structure, a5, flanked by a stone courtyard to the west f108. The room was constructed of mudbrick walls with the walls from a1 structure abutting the walls of a5. A thin vertical brick wall was found along the western edge of a5 forming presumably an inner wall. The inside of a5 proved strange, with vertical bricks clustered together found inside followed by a stone installation and bricks in the northwestern corner. The stone installation f136 resembles an outline or cyst type tomb but as to why this is inside a room in unclear. The entrance to the structure is also unknown presumably in the south. [Input: S912LR.j] |
| k101 | C1 | 2008-08-10 | In k101, attempted to find a good surface for f94 by first removing the softer fill around the broken top bricks but this only showed a jumble of collapsed and broken bricks. We then cut the top layer, removing 10 cm to see if better bricks surfaced. Another 10 cm was removed, concluding that f94 is not a wall. [Input: S810LR2.j] |
| k101 | C1 | 2008-08-14 | Excavated in k101, removing the eastern baulk to connect the wall f115 to f85 and the walls to the east, f116 (from A19). Wall f115 was noted as being fully constructed with vertical bricks slightly at an oblique angle alongside horizontal bricks f109, at a lower elevation. The vertical bricks f115 are in line with f46 wall from a1. [Input: S816LR.j] |
| k101 | C1 | 2008-08-16 | In k101, the area south of a2 was excavated, continuing to remove f94. This feature has been redefined as brickfall and not a wall. The east baulk was continued from S814, removing another 10 cm today exposing several vertical brick faces. The southern area, bricks are also present, likely the cross wall enclosing f116, f115, of a larger one room structure. [Input: S816LR.j] |
| k101 | C1 | 2008-08-17 | In k101, we continued to remove the east section which we are very close to the level of the walls f115 and f85. Vertical bricks were found in the southern end of the baulk, oriented east to west and look very similar to the bricks that f115 is constructed but at a higher elevation (one course higher). These are only 4 bricks with no more vertical bricks found in section. The section on the eastern face was scraped well today, showing faint lines of vertical faces as well in section. It is unclear if f115 forms the cross wall closing the structure to the east, f116, or if f109 wall closes the structure. f116 is constructed of horizontal bricks which would suggest that the cross wall would also be horizontal bricks. f109 are horizontal, so if this is the case then why is a wall made of vertical bricks immediately east of the outer wall. Perhaps f115 forms a bench. [Input: S818lR.j] |
| k101 | C1 | 2008-08-18 | In k101, another 15 cm was removed from the north section, finding a wall f126 running west to east. Wall f125 was further defined, this wall is located in the western edge of k101 running north to south, possibly the cross wall for f126. Wall f127 appears to abut f40 on the southern end; these are a series of horizontal bricks that go down several courses then ends approximately 15 cm then f126 wall emerges underneath. At first we assumed that wall f84 continued to run west, so that f127 and f84 was the same wall. This however is not the case. While removing f120, stones emerged, west of f85 wall. These stones continue to go down; at the moment are 3 stones deep but stop to the west. A thick vertical line is also visible where the stones end which would then make f84 a discrete wall with stone foundations at its western edge and another wall, f127 built in the west that abuts f84. [Input: S818lR.j] |
| k101 | C1 | 2008-08-19 | Today, k101 was open and A18 cleaned for photographs. This morning the north section of k101 was drawn. This section is not the true north section of k101, it is actually our cut into k14 but shows nicely the wall f127 which we plan to remove today. After the section was drawn we then photographed the section, including overhead, oblique, and direct north views. The wall was removed in section, beginning in the eastern area working west, leaving a small section to see the horizontal bricks from two sides. We then proceeded to continue removing the bricks to west, then cleaned out the section and photographed it again. What was in view was bricky material sitting on a nice row of horizontal bricks then several centimeters below, a layer of reddish fine clay appearing similar in shape and size to bricks but much softer than brick. Another layer was removed, moving north and this time removing f40 vertical bricks to expose another layer of the horizontal bricks behind. In the west, more stones surfaced to the north, in line with the stones from wall f125. It is unclear if these stones continue north, if so then a2 was built over f125 wall. One course of bricks was removed by accident from f126 wall but they continue below and rearticulated. Wall f126 contains many phytolith inclusions in the bricks mixed with elongated splinters of charcoal. We also cleaned the west and south sections of k101 or A19k98 for two reasons; first the sections are rather unsteady and dangerous from years of weathering and were cut back to make them safer and secondly, to cut a new surface and expose fresh bricks and colors. The entire day was spent cutting these two sections back then we proceeded to clean up the area east of the baulk near f116. I assumed that the backfill would be shallow but after working inside, the soil is deeper coming down on plastic around 20 cm deep. Tomorrow we will continue to remove the backfill and expose the floor surface from inside the structure, a5. [Input: S818lR.j] |

| s11JPC | B11 | 2008-09-14 | Traces of scattered occupation found immediately below the topsoil level. Evidence for this is in the form of small stone installations, a sherd lens or pavement, and several isolated stones with these features sitting on abandonment from the late Mittani occupation however this occupation does not utilize or reuse any structures from the other Mittani occupation levels suggesting a long abandonment period. Pottery analysis places this scattered occupation also within the Mittani period. Stratigraphically, these features correlate with area J5 which found a series of stone walls at the topmost level but dated to Middle Assyrian. [Input: S914LR.j] |

| s12aJPC | B11 | 2008-09-14 | Approximately 20 cm below the brickmelt s12b, installations such as a drainage channel, tannur, and pavements began to surface at a high elevation. These features are from late Mittani occupation that reused early Mittani structures from s15 and built over s14. This occupation level was likely an outdoor production area given the presence of the drainage installation, a3 and rough pavements f73, f72, and f35 which are more similar to wadi wash rather than formal pavements and the high volume of ash. These pavements also overlay a wall, f107, indicating that the structure was not in use during the time of the drainage system. This stratum also includes ash accumulations that resulted from these outdoor installations that area high in volume, sloping, and abut the bricky mass f98, f52, f82, and f64. This ash appears to have been produced over multiple periods of time as evident by laminations and clear layers within the ashy deposits. There is also evidence that during s12a people placed other installations over the ash, including f68 brick pile/platform and tannurs f100 and f42. This argues that the ash was produced during occupation and not exclusively after during abandonment. [Input: S914LR.j] |

| s12bJPC | B11 | 2008-09-14 | The result of the earliest Mittani brick structures, s15, melting in the rain and then hardened by the sun over time forming a thin hard clay crust, uniform and massive in structure, throughout the entire unit. Several dramatic slopes are visible in the north and south which seems to follow contours of the structures below. In order for the bricks to have melted in this manner, we are assuming that the structures were exposed to the processes of weathering over a long period of time allowing for compaction to occur and must have also been the natural surface of the Tell in antiquity. Comparing this brickmelt to the brickmelt in A18 and A16 where no compaction occurs, instead the brickmelt resembles more like soft disintegrated bricks with no crust formed at the top, gives more plausibility that this brickmelt in A20 was exposed for more time. This also explains why the next occupation level, s11 does not reuse the structures from s15 or s14, these were simply not in view suggesting that during the end of the Mittani period, occupation shifted elsewhere at the site, leaving area A20 unoccupied for some time then reoccupied at a later date. This stratum also includes accumulations from collapse of the early to late Mittani levels (s14, s15, s12a). [Input: S914LR.j] |

| s15JPC | B11 | 2008-09-14 | The earliest Mittani occupation consisting of thick walled mudbrick structures with cobblestone floors that were terraced with the floor from the northern area at elevation 9263, followed by a larger stone courtyard f108 at elevation 9143 then the inside of room a5, with the floor at elevation 9072. At first we initially thought these were all different time periods of use but the courtyard f108 respects wall f84, which is the cross wall for a1 (the northernmost room at the highest elevation) and wall f126 for room a4, and wall f109 for a5. The similarity of the rooms also adds in favor to a contemporary construction of all these rooms with vertical bricks in use, thick walls, stone floors, and the small sizes of the rooms. The pavements inside the rooms were found clean with no pot smashes and no objects directly on the floors (with the exception of an animal jaw sitting on f132 pavement). [Input: S914LR.j] |

| s19JPC | B11 | 2008-09-14 | Presumably the earliest levels at the site based solely on elevation with the floor level inside a5 at 9068 while the floor level of f57 is 9264. The stratigraphy suggests that a5 and f57 are contemporary or within the same strata given that wall f84 runs alongside f116 with pavements f108 and f57 similar in construction. It is plausible that all the structures in A19 and A20 are contemporary and were terraced or that f57, a4, and a6 are later constructions belonging to the middle Mittani period. The only way to clarify this is to excavate further in the area, particularly to remove one of the highest elevation pavements to see if another pavement is below. [Input: S914LR.j] |
