-dy Diadin took a series of photographs illustrating the evidence for numerous occupational phases in the excavated portions of k12 and k101 (View 9).  At the lowest elevation there is the wall, the apron, a crescent of stones above the wall, and, at very high elevations a tannur and a working surface above the apron.  Finally, there is the topsoil of modern occupation.  In k101 we marked off a 50cm-wide collar around the E, N, and W baulks and, after removal of one large floating stone and the crescent of smaller stones, began excavating a new accumulation f30, to clear and positively identify the S face of the wall.  In k12 we removed two large floating stones and the tannur, then continued to excavate the accumulation, f2, to expose the top of the wall in the W portion and the apron in the E portion.
