Excavation continued in k2 and a new square was started to the East of k1: k106. The stones of features f503, f504, f505, f506 and f507 in k01, that were planned to be removed in the morning, were left in place because gB changed our strategy. Following gB's suggestion, we will try to create a clear picture of how the temple terrace looked like at the end of phase 6b and the Middle Assyrian period. Several baulks will have to be removed to give a clear view on the scattered stones, the second apron, the revetment wall and the glacis in J3. [Input: Q816VE.j]

The new locus k107 was opened to the north of k106 and to the east of k2. We removed the top soil f539 in the southern part of k107. The northern part of k107 had already been excavated by the German team from Tuebingen as B6. Feature f540 was the natural accumulation under the top soil. At the bottom of this deposit we found the naturally compacted floor f547 with on top of it the half circle of stones f544 and the small area of grey deposit f546. In k2 we excavated the natural deposit f557 (by accident recorded as f535) south of f532. Feature f543 is a large boulder in k2 that must have been dislocated from f532. In k106 we continued to excavate the natural accumulation f537. Feature f537 was closed and replaced by f540. Feature f540 was in turn closed when we noted that the southern half of f540 had become harder (f541) and the northern half softer (f542). [Input: Q817VE.j]

Today we continued to excavate in k2, k106 and k107. In k1, mO and eI made a drawing of the Northern section. In k2 we excavated f557 (by accident recorded as f535) and thus exposed f532. f532 turned out to be missing the steps that define the second apron in J2. At the bottom of f557 we found a somewhat harder surface f566 that covered some of the stones. In k107 we removed the stone circle f544, the associated sherds in the greyish deposit f546 and the compacted surface f547 where these features were lying on top of. Then we excavated the natural accumulation f548 that lies under f547. In the German trench B6 (f545) in the northern half of k107 we compared the current position of the stones of f532 and their position as visible in a picture made by the German team just after the excavation. This comparison showed which stones had fallen out of place f549 and which had remained in situ. In k106 we excavated deposit f541 until we reached its bottom. It turned out that the harder deposit of f542 continues under f541. [Input: Q819VE1.j]

Work continued in k107 and k106. In k107 we started to excavate f550 which we changed into f553. Several more steps of the second apron became visible. The part of the second apron in k106 is stepped, in contrast to its continuation in k2. Therefore we now have assigned feature number f556 to the second apron in k107 while the part in k2 remains f532. In k106 we excavated f542 to make the locus level again. Then we continued excavating the entire locus as f552. The stones in k106 were relayed and assigned feature numbers: f554 and f555. [Input: Q820VE.j]

After having removed f558 we came upon f500 once more and this deposit was also excavated. The general outline of the steps of f556 were relayed.

In k1, but extending into k2, the natural accumulation f565 was excavated until the natural floor surface f566 was reached.

In k1 the series of naturally compacted floors f566 was removed. More large boulders appeared underneath it and it is not quite clear yet whether these belong to the second apron f532 or to the top of the revetment wall f569. The underlying layer of compacted floors f534 was then excavated in the Northern half of k1. In k107 the floating large boulders of f561 and f562 were removed and the soil which had supported them (f548) too.

We continued to excavate the Northern half of k1 in front of the revetment wall f569. The boulder f575 and the small boulder 579 next to it were uncovered. Under the natural deposit of f572 there appeared a softer black ashy deposit f576. After having removed these ashes we found again a reddish brown deposit f578. We have removed the pebbles of f521 and the large boulder f519. In k107 we excavated the little deposits f570 that remained on top of the baqaya. After we noticed remains of mud bricks at the Eastern edge of the q-lot we decided to extend the feature further to the East and clean the surface there and remove only a thin layer. In k106 we continued to go down in the northern half until we had cleared the face of the revetment wall. Then we started to excavate also the Southern half of k106. [Input: Q830VE1.j]

Work was continued in the southern half of k106 to reach the same level as had been reached yesterday in the northern half of k106 and to further reveal the boulders that had been exposed there. The boulder f580 was removed and the small column of underlying deposits was excavated. The faces of the top stones of the revetment wall f569 in k106 were cleaned and some of the stones are clearly not in direct contact with the underlying stones of the revetment wall f569. This would then prove the hypothesis that the top of the revetment wall was added in younger times. In k1 excavation in the Northern half of k1 was continued after the stones f575 and f579 had been removed here. More stones appeared however and they seem to lie in line in front of the revetment wall. To make more sense of these new stones we started to excavate the southern half of k1 as well. The large boulder of f530 leaves a 20 cm space between its eastern edge and the East section. When this space was excavated we discovered baqaya and possibly mud bricks lying under the second apron.

During MZ17(2004-O) and MZ18(2005-P) at Tell Mozan the revetment wall of the temple terrace had been exposed in three excavation areas: J1, J2 and J3. From the information provided by these excavations it could be deduced that the temple terrace was in continued use from EDIII times to the end of the Mitanni period. Furthermore, through all these centuries of use the terrace must have been well maintained. After the plaza in front of the terrace had started to accumulate deposits during the second millennium BC, there was probably a rebuilding of the monumental staircase to which the second apron was added. During this 2006 campaign we will try to further complement our knowledge of the temple terrace and thus of the Monumental Urban Complex at Urkesh by focusing on three issues. 1) In the sounding through the baqaya-glacis covering the temple mound, Late Chalcolithic sherds were found. We will attempt to clarify the context of these sherds. The working hypothesis is that these deposits were brought in from a nearby settlement to construct the temple terrace and are therefore out of their primary context. 2) The exact shape of the temple terrace remains uncertain despite the information available from the geomagnetic survey performed by the German excavation team from Tuebingen and the information from the recent excavations. Therefore we will expose further the top of the revetment wall. 3) On the basis of the results of last year's excavations it has been hypothesized that the second apron was added to the revetment wall during the Mitanni period, probably at the start of phase 6a. This hypothesis will be tested by further exposing the second apron and investigating its connection to the revetment wall. [Input: Q812VE1.j]

Many loci will be excavated in J3 during this campaign with several supervisors who will take care of the administration. If we would record everything in one binder, this could create some unnecessary stress and lines of people who need to record observations. In order to avoid this we will record the administration in a different binder that will still be part of book J3. We will let all of our records start at 500 to avoid overlap. Only the relays will start at 1000, since so many relays are triangulated each season. Our book will be called J3 East, because we will excavate the eastern-most loci. In this area we will try to expose the revetment wall and the second apron and try to establish the stratigraphic and chronological connection between the second apron and the revetment wall.

A new strategy has been outlined by gB. We will first remove the East baulk of k1, ie. the baulk between k1 and k106 to uncover f519. When k106 has been excavated to the same level, it is very likely that new scattered boulders will have become visible. The North baulk of k1 will be removed to give a clear view on the top of the second apron, f532. The East baulk of k12 will also be removed to give a clear view of the glacis in k12 and k13.

The features that make up a500 had already been exposed in a previous campaign when this locus, J3 k1, was a locus of J2. These features were left standing and the deposits around and/or under it were excavated.

The distribution of the cluster of stones of a500 is somewhat scattered and seems to slightly descend from the North to the South. These two observations seem to argue that they were dislodged from a stone structure that must have been laying to the north. This could only have been the second apron whose remaining top stones are already visible in k2 or, more precisely, in the older German trench in unit B6. However, the stones of a500 do not seem to lay on the same surface (no surface is in fact apparent) and this argues for the interpretation that the stones were deposited over time and not in a single event.

The distribution of the cluster of stones of a500 is somewhat scattered and seems to slightly descend from the North to the South. These two observations seem to argue that they were dislodged from a stone structure that must have been lying to the north. This could only have been the second apron whose remaining top stones are already visible in k2 or, more precisely, in the older German trench B6. However, the stones of a500 do not seem to lie on the same surface (no surface is in fact apparent) and this argues for the interpretation that the stones were deposited over time and not in a single event.

We cleaned the South section of the German trench B6 by cutting it back approximately 5 cm. The deposit that was removed in this proces was defined as f512. Along the entire length of this section, except for the western most part, is a row of large stones that is a continuation of the second apron. After we cleaned this section we could distinguish no separate layers: under the top soil began a natural accumulation that seems everywhere to rest immediately upon the stones of the second apron. While removing the dirt that had come from the section and that had piled up at the foot of the stones q502.1 was found. It came from the dirt on which the largest stone of the top of the second apron rest, as was evident from the exactly fitting impression in that accumulation. [Input: Q813VE.j]

f519 had not been removed yet because it protruded from the baulk. It was left standing on a column of soil which had become a nuisance because it blocked the view on the front of the revetment wall and because it prevented a clear view on the Eastern section which has to be drawn. I probed with my trowel how deep the boulder of f519 was embedded in the East baulk. It turned out that only its northern side was embedded and only for approximately 8 cm. We carefully removed the boulder without damaging the section and excavated the column of deposits on which it had rested (q583, f534) [Input: Q830VE1.j]

The boulders f509 and f510 lie against the base of f532 and must have rolled over it when they became dislocated, if they were not in fact at one time part of f532 itself. This early occurrence of dislocated stones when the second apron f532 had been covered with very little deposits only, must be assigned to s11a. The deposit in which their base is lying, f557, might be s11a too or slightly younger: s10. Other stones, f543, f551, f564 and f520, were also displaced and remained lying on top of the (thin deposits that cover the) lower part of f532. These could belong to the same deposition of dislocated stones as f509 and f510 and therefore are also assigned to s11a. [Input: Q904VVE.j]

Feature f532 is the continuation to the west in J3 of the second apron excavated in J2. Also, during MZ 18, the westernmost end of this second apron had already been excavated as feature f10 in J3 k12 to establish the connection between the apron and the revetment wall. f532 is a stone installation: it consists of several rows of large boulders that were set on top of each other with each row stepped back from the lower row.

f549 consists of several large boulders that were part of f532 but that have since the time that the Germans excavated them moved from their original positions. The components of f549 are thus really a part of f532, but the designation f549 had to be created in order to relay the dislocated stones. On the basis of the comparison between the views v514 (f532 immediately after excavation) and v504 (f532 at the start of thsi season) I have made template t514. t514 is a tentative reconstruction of from where the stones were dislodged.

The stepped stone structure visible in J2 that we call the Second Apron continues in both k107 and k2. This part of the second apron was assigned the feature number f532. After continuing our excavations however it has become clear that the part of the second apron in k107 is different from the part in k2. In k107 the stone structure still seems to be stepped while in k02 it obviously is not. Therefore I decided to assign a new feature number, f556, to the stepped component of the second apron in k107. It is important to note that in the entries of the previous days when f532 was discussed we might have been also talking about f556. [Input: Q820VE.j]

Strata 12 is defined by the building of the second apron, i.e. f532 and f556. The section of the East side of the East baulk of k107 has shown that the Second Apron was built soon after stones were added to the top of the revetment wall, i.e. f591. Since both these rebuildings show a significant change in the concept of the monumental staircase and the temple terrace, I have decided to assign f591 to Stratum S12d and the second apron to s12c.

We continued to excavate f533 until we reached the level of the top stones of f532 (the second apron). It should be noted that f532 seems to be on its lowest point here: a little further to the East the top of f532 in the German trench is one row of stones higher. I decided to close this feature to maintain stratigraphic control although there exist no very distinct differences between when it was first uncovered and the bottom of f533 as now defined. Because the second apron, f532, will be dated by the pottery in f533 that is lying directly on top of the steps of f532, such a measure of stratigraphic control seems called for. [Input: Q816VE.j]

After excavating f500 we found a natural hard surface in k1. It was at its hardest where it came from the Northern baulk. It was lying against f509, f520, f529 and f530 and seemed to sligthly descend southwards. It was only partially preserved because as it extended southwards it became softer and less compact. In the southeastern corner of k1, just northwest of f502, a smooth area of laminations was found: most likely is this the location of a small depression where rain water would have gathered. In some places the compacted surface had also been damaged by the big pick. [Input: Q815VE.j]

The naturally compacted floor of f534 with the large boulders f525, f526, f527, f528, f519, f567 and f574 abutted the base of f532. f532 is assigned to s12c and because the stones indicate some kind of neglect/decay I will assign these features to s12a which was defined as a possible abandonment stratum.

The surface of the northern part, which consists of the bottoms of f513, f516 and the German trench BA, was still rather uneven and high, especially along the edges. Most of these deposits were probably collapse that had occured since the trench had been finished. We were however very close to the bottom, because after excavating this area new deposits were occuring. Pieces of mud bricks were found and a softer ashy area. [Input: Q816VE.j]

The boulders f509 and f510 lie against the base of f532 and must have rolled over it when they became dislocated, if they were not in fact at one time part of f532 itself. This early occurrence of dislocated stones when the second apron f532 had been covered with very little deposits only, must be assigned to s11a. The deposit in which their base is lying, f557, might be s11a too or slightly younger: s10. Other stones, f543, f551, f564 and f520, were also displaced and remained lying on top of the (thin deposits that cover the) lower part of f532. These could belong to the same deposition of dislocated stones as f509 and f510 and therefore are also assigned to s11a. [Input: Q904VVE.j]

Feature f545 is one of the trenches, B6, that was excavated by the German team of archaeologists from the University of Tuebingen who excavated on Tell Mozan for several years.

Feature f545 cut through what should have been the the North baulk of k2 and completely removed the North baulk of k107.

f549 consists of several large boulders that were part of f532 but that have since the time that the Germans excavated them moved from their original positions. The components of f549 are thus really a part of f532, but the designation f549 had to be created in order to relay the dislocated stones. On the basis of the comparison between the views v514 (f532 immediately after excavation) and v504 (f532 at the start of thsi season) I have made template t514. t514 is a tentative reconstruction of from where the stones were dislodged.

Today we compared the current state of the western part of the second apron f532 with the state in which it was found by the German team from Tuebingen. v514 is a picture made by the German team after they finished excavating their trench BA. When we compare v514 with current state of preservation, e.g. v504, it becomes apparent that many stones have moved at least a little bit and that some have fallen down to the north of f532. f549 is the designation for some of these stones that have moved out of their original position.

The top part of the second apron (f556) was covered by the deposit f550, but the presence of the apron would have perhaps been noticable. I assign it to s10, the ultimate abandonment of the function of the temple terrace. Stratigraphically however, I see no absolute proof that these deposits are s10 and not s7, i.e. it is very hard to make that distinction. The main reason to assign it to s10 is that the underlying deposit f553 has been assigned to s11 and the underlying dislocated boulders to s11a. [Input: Q904VVE.j]

The boulders f509 and f510 lie against the base of f532 and must have rolled over it when they became dislocated, if they were not in fact at one time part of f532 itself. This early occurrence of dislocated stones when the second apron f532 had been covered with very little deposits only, must be assigned to s11a. The deposit in which their base is lying, f557, might be s11a too or slightly younger: s10. Other stones, f543, f551, f564 and f520, were also displaced and remained lying on top of the (thin deposits that cover the) lower part of f532. These could belong to the same deposition of dislocated stones as f509 and f510 and therefore are also assigned to s11a. [Input: Q904VVE.j]

Feature f552 was opened as an expanded version of f542 after f542 was excavated to the same level as the bottom of f541. Feature f541 lies on top of f552. Feature f552 seems to be the same type of deposit as f542 although perhaps a little less hard and maybe a little bit more crumbly. At the position where the division between f541 and f542 had been there still seems to remain a much harder area. It is unclear what this could be exactly. [Input: Q820VE.j]

Feature f553 was opened when the third step (from the top) of the second apron f556 had been uncovered while excavating f550. In effect, it is a continuation of f550. This redesignation was done for stratigraphic control (intended for the pottery that could date the end of the use of the apron) rather than a change in the deposits. However, just below the top of f553 in the SE corner of k107 a hard natural floor surface was found at elev.(3615 +73 -163). It was only very partially preserved and therefore we decided not to start a new feature. [Input: Q820VE.j]

The stepped stone structure in k106 visible in J2 that we call the Second Apron continues in both k107 and k2. This part of the second apron was assigned the feature number f532. After continuing our excavations however it has become clear that the part of the second apron in k107 is different from the part in k2. In k107 the stone structure still seems to be stepped while in k2 it obviously is not. Therefore I decided to assign a new feature number, f556, to the stepped component of the second apron in k107. It is important to note that previous mention of what is now been designated f556 was made under the heading of f532. [Input: Q820VE.j]

Feature, f556, is the part of the second apron that lies in k107. This second apron is a stepped stone structure that runs approximately in an East-West direction. Up until today five steps (consisting of rows of stones) had been excavated. The top step must have consisted of several large boulders most of which now have moved a little bit out of their place. The next two steps consist of smaller boulders (ca. 20 x 25 x 20 cm). Not all steps continue along the entire length of the feature: the second and third step continue as the higher second step as several larger boulders continue eastward. The fourth step is a combination of the smaller boulders and very large, flat boulders. The fifth step, not completely uncovered yet, seems to consist mainly of these large flat slabs. The western edge, where the transition to the stepless f532 must lie, is still unclear because it is covered by the East baulk of k2. A large boulder projects out of the baulk and might be resting on the third and fourth steps. It is likely that this stone is (slightly) out of place, but it might turn out to be a sort of a ramp lining the Western border of f556. [Input: Q824VE.j]

A layer of mud bricks f583 seems to be lying under the second apron f556. fAB suggested that the second apron was constructed in such a way that it descended and became progressively narrower as the structure extends to west. Viewed over a longer distance it indeed becomes apparent that more steps come together to continue as one than I had originally noted. [Input: Q830VE1.j]

The East side section of the eastern baulk of k107 is very important because it shows the chronological relationship between the second apron and the revetment wall. At this point there is a horizontal gap between the bottom of the second apron (f556 in k107) and the top of the revetment wall. The bottom of the second apron is also slightly higher than the top of the revetment wall. See also v531 and v534. (Fortunately, one of the top stones of the revetment wall was still connected to the section baulk.) Several layers, including a distinctive, thin, slightly ashy layer, abutted the bottom stone of the second apron and ran down southwards to stop against the northern side of one of the top stones of the revetment wall. We can conclude from this that the top of the revetment wall was still visible (at least in some places) when the second apron was visible. jW has proposed the hypothesis that the top of the revetment wall was added later, i.e. in Mitanni times, because the boulders are not embedded in mortar and seem to have been emplaced a little bit more haphazardly. If this hypothesis is true and the stone in this section was one of the younger additions (which it seems to be), then we must now conclude that after the top of the revetment wall had been added there was a period during which accumulations gathered on the northern (terrace) side of the wall. Only after this period of accumulation, but with the top of the revetment wall still visible in some places, the second apron was built. [Input: Q823VE.j]

On Q824 aA and iI drew section of the East side of the eastern baulk of k107 after vE had cleaned it and identified the layers. This section is very important because it shows the chronological relationship between the second apron and the revetment wall. See also v531 and v534. The top of the revetment wall seems to be (as was proposed by jW) a younger addition to the third millennium wall. After this addition a (short) period of accumulation on the terrace side of the revetment wall ensued. When the top of the (younger phase of the) revetment wall had been reached by the accumulations, but not yet covered it, the second apron was built. [Input: Q823VE.j]

Strata 12 is defined by the building of the second apron, i.e. f532 and f556. The section of the East side of the East baulk of k107 has shown that the Second Apron was built soon after stones were added to the top of the revetment wall, i.e. f591. Since both these rebuildings show a significant change in the concept of the monumental staircase and the temple terrace, I have decided to assign f591 to Stratum S12d and the second apron to s12c.

The boulders f509 and f510 lie against the base of f532 and must have rolled over it when they became dislocated, if they were not in fact at one time part of f532 itself. This early occurrence of dislocated stones when the second apron f532 had been covered with very little deposits only, must be assigned to s11a. The deposit in which their base is lying, f557, might be s11a too or slightly younger: s10. Other stones, f543, f551, f564 and f520, were also displaced and remained lying on top of the (thin deposits that cover the) lower part of f532. These could belong to the same deposition of dislocated stones as f509 and f510 and therefore are also assigned to s11a. [Input: Q904VVE.j]

Both in k01 and k106 there is the association of an ashy layer (f576 and f577) with collapsed stones (f575, f579, f585 and f584, f586, f587, f588 and f589). This association could indicate a deliberate disturbance of the top of the revetment wall (that had remained visible). If I were to follow this line of reasoning I would suggest that such a disturbance must have been caused by outsiders. This would also explain why the inhabitants of Urkesh at then felt the need to recreate the top of the revetment wall by adding another line of stones. [Input: Q831VE.j]

Accumulation f570 is a very light reddish light grey deposit that is slightly ashy. It is the same deposit as the ashy deposit in the East section of the East baulk of k107. Many small bones were found here and therefore we decided to sift all the deposits from this small area. No pits were visible at the top of f570 and the bones were lying very scattered. These observations and the information from the section indicate that f570 is a wash layer that lies under the second apron f556. hPU remarked also after looking at the bones that their small size and shape seem to indicate a wash layer context. He also said that it mainly consisted of sheep/goat and pig. mKB looked at the pottery from f570 and after an initial review said that it was mixed (some Chalcolithic sherds) but most likely was phase 3. At the bottom of f570 we found a baqaya surface most likely the glacis. Two pits seem to have been dug into the baqaya but most of these pits remains hidden under the stones of f556.

This baqaya is a hard and compact layer of red clay that has many small inclusions, mainly small pieces of calcite. On most of its surface it is mainly a light reddish deposit with less calcite pieces. It is covered by the natural accumulation (wash layer) f570. The baqaya seems in turn to cover a line of boulders that probably are part of the revetment wall f569. So little of the mud brick cover f582 has been preserved that it is very hard to tell the connection between f581 and f582. It is possible that they abut, but it can also be that the mud bricks also covered the baqaya at a certain time. After studying the baqaya in the better lighting conditions of the early morning it became apparent that the two pits dug into the baqaya actually are one long animal hole. [Input: Q830VE1.j]

The mudbrick pavement might be slightly younger than the baqaya or is contemporary and the piece that was foudn is actually the border of a pavement that ran parallel to the stairs up to the temple.

f582 consists of the very thin remains of several mud bricks that were lying against each other to probably form a pavement. They were covered by the natural accumulation f570. The mud bricks were preserved in a only in a very small surface and as we searched for more mud brick to the East (into J2) we only found a thin layer of red clay, presumably the molten bricks, that covered a softer grey and ashy deposit. The bad preservation of these mud bricks makes it very hard to identify the nature of the relationship between f582 and the baqaya f581: they might abut or f582 might be on top of f581. The pavement that these fragments of mud bricks must have formed could have extended all the way to the mud brick pavement that had been excavated by the German team from Tuebingen on top of the temple terrace above the primary stairway.

There are two options for the function of these mud bricks, I think: Either the mud bricks formed a pavement that adorned/preserved the top of the temple terrace or they were laid out as part of the construction of the secondary apron. It is very hard to argue in favor of one of these options over the other, but I would like to propose that the mud bricks were a preparation for the second apron. First of all because they seem to be directly on top of each other and secondly because the soft ashy deposits of f570 might not have been able to support the stones of the second apron f556, because they would have shifted or eroded away from underneath the structure during the winter rains.

Strata 12 is defined by the building of the second apron, i.e. f532 and f556. The section of the East side of the East baulk of k107 has shown that the Second Apron was built soon after stones were added to the top of the revetment wall, i.e. f591.

Thin layers of accumulation between the top of the revetment wall and the renewal of its top, f591, prove that f591 was built arond the time that f569 was about to be covered by deposits. The section of the East side of the East baulk of k107 has shown that the Second Apron was built soon after f591 had been completed. [Input: Q904VVE.j]

The excavation of k1 in J3 had already begun in 2004 during MZ17(2004-O) as a locus of J2. At the moment I am still unable to equate my feature assignments to those of J2, because the J2 MZ17 files are not yet accessible. Still visible are several features that had been exposed during the previous campaigns: f501, f502, f503, f504, f505, f506, f507, f508, f509, f510, f511. See v500 for the state of preservation of k01 at the start of this season. We left all of these features standing and started to excavate the surface of k01. This deposit is f500 and the sections seem to indicate that this deposit is a continuation of what was lying on top of it. The stones of features f502, f503, f504, f505, f506, f507, f508, f509, f510 and f511 are resting on and embedded in this deposit, f500. All these stones together constitute aggregate a500.

In the eastern half of k1 we excavated f500 to give this locus a more level surface. In the north a somewhat harder surface was encountered. It was a natural surface and might have been caused by the effects of the winter precipitation during the past year. It does not constitute a clear break in this natural deposit because it did not extend very far from the Northern baulk, because it was not very hard and because the deposit underneath seems to be the same as above it. The entire locus was cleaned and dM took v502, v503 and v503a of f501 and a500 respectively. f501 was then removed. [Input: Q813VE.j]

Feature f517 was excavated today. It was the column of deposits that had been left standing to preserve f501. Feature f500 was excavated in the Western half of k01. Several new features had been found in the excavations yesterday and were assigned feature numbers today: f519, f520 and f521. These features were relayed today. [Input: Q814VE.j]

Several large boulders were assigned feature numbers today. f525, f526, f527 and f528 were found while excavating f500 today, while f529 and f530 were excavated yesterday but are so enveloped by the North baulk that they had not yet been assigned feature numbers yesterday. After excavating f500 we found a natural hard surface that seemed to be sloping slightly downwards towards the south. [Input: Q815VE.j]

We started to remove the Northern baulk of k01. f523 was the top soil (nothing was collected) and f558 the underlying natural accumulation. This underlying accumulation had already been excavated in the rest of the locus during one of the previous campaigns as part of J2. After having removed f558 we reached f500 which was also excavated. [Input: Q821VE.j]

Yesterday dM had taken the overview pictures of the situation where the lower steps of the second apron f532 and f556 had been covered by accumulations and several large boulders of the second apron had moved from their original position. With those pictures taken we were now able to remove several of those dislocated boulders that make up a500. Before the removal of f503, f504, f505, f506, f507, f508 and f511, the Area designation (J3) and their respective feature numbers were written on the boulders with a permanent marker. While removing the deposits on which these boulders had been resting a new dislocated boulder f567 was uncovered. We started to removing the natural accumulation f565 that covered the lower part of the second apron f532. In this deposit we found bronze item i500 stuck between several boulders. After excavating f565 we reached a naturally compacted surface f566 which we also started to excavate. [Input: Q826VE.j]

The series of naturally compacted floors f566 was removed. On top of where the revetment wall should be there appeared a new naturally compacted floor which is the continuation in this area of f534. Immediately north of this there had appeared more large boulders and the deposit underneath f566 there was soft, crumbly, reddish dark brown clay containing many very small pebbles and a little bit of calcite: this seems to be washed down baqaya.

The deposits in front of the top of the revetment wall were excavated today: the remains of f534 in the Southern half of k1 and the underlying f571 in all of k1. Several new large boulders were uncovered today and these must belong to the top of the revetmet wall. [Input: Q828VE1.j]

At first we continued to excavate f571 in all of k01, but then we excavated this natural deposit only in the northern half of k01. There the underlying deposit f572 did not differ much from f571 but seemed to be a little bit lighter, softer and more crumbly. [Input: Q829VE3.j]

We continued to excavate the Northern half of k1 in front of the revetment wall f569. The boulder f575 and the small boulder 579 next to it were uncovered. Under the natural deposit of f572 there appeared a softer black ashy deposit f576. After having removed these ashes we found again a reddish brown deposit f578. We have removed the pebbles of f521 and the large boulder f519. We relayed the large boulders f525, f527, f528 and f574 which is a very large boulder that had appeared yesterday already in the Southern section. [Input: Q830VE1.j]

The stones f575 and f579 were removed today and then excavation continued in the Northern half of k1. At the end of one pick run the tops of five boulders became visible. These seem to lie in line in front of the revetment wall f569. To make sense of these stones we need to expose a larger area and therefore we continued to excavate also the Southern half of k1.

At the western edge of k2 starts the old trench in B6, excavated by a German team from Tuebingen University. The trench runs from West to East but has a different orientation than the J3 grid. As the trench progresses East it also runs more to the North. The baulk walls have in some places caved in slightly, but are generally in reasonable condition. It now has approximately the following dimensions: 260 x 880 cm. [Input: Q812VE2.j]

Today a picture, v501, was taken of this area and of the state of preservation of the German trench in B6. Then a lot of backfill was excavated, the sherds collected and counted: three base sherds, 5 rims and 53 body sherds had been found. Not all dirt could be removed but this will be completed tomorrow morning. [Input: Q812VE2.j]

We cleaned the South section of the German trench B6 by cutting it back approximately 5 cm. The deposit that was removed in this proces was defined as f512. Then we proceeded to excavate the Northwestern corner of k2 (f514 and f513) and just to the west of German trench B6 (f515 and f516). These areas were excavated in order to overlay the orientation of our grid on the B6 trench. However, because our surveyor, bP could not yet survey the markers for k2 that are missing (ie. the Eastern markers and those markers that define the baulks) we proceeded very cautiously.

We started to excavate the natural accumulation f522 in the southern half of k2. We closed it after excavating several (big) pick runs in this feature. f533 is the natural accumulation that lies under f522 and is a continuation of this feature. f533 was not excavated today. Features f524 and f531 were assigned to stones that had fallen down northwards (perhaps recently) from the second apron f532. [Input: Q815VE.j]

We continued to excavate the deposit that lie south of f532 and cover it. By accident this area was assigned f535 today, but f535 was the deposit to the north of f532. Therefore the q-lot q526 was reassigned to f557. We further uncovered the very large boulder f543 and relayed it. [Input: Q817VE.j]

We excavated f557 to further expose f532. Several lines of stones have now been uncovered but the expected steps are not present. Instead of the steps, a slightly sloping surface of boulders became visible. The downward slope of these stones is also not nearly as steep as we expected. At the bottom of f557 we found a natural compacted floor surface f566. [Input: Q819VE1.j]

The locus East of k1 was opened as k106, because k100-k105 had already been used in previous seasons. Like k1, part of k106 has been excavated in previous campaigns as a part of J2. The eastern half of k106 had been excavated much deeper as the start of the stepped baulk of J2. The western half had not been excavated yet. f536 is the top soil of this half of k106 and f537 is the natural accumulation underneath f536. [Input: Q816VE.j]

We continued to excavate the naturally accumulated deposits f537 in k106. This feature was closed after several pick runs because the Northern half of the locus had become softer, f541, and the Southern half had become harder, f542. [Input: Q817VE.j]

We continued to excavate f541 and after one pick run we could close it because we had reached its bottom. Under f541 we saw the same hard deposit as in f542 and this means that f541 overlies f542 and was perhaps even cut into it. [Input: Q819VE1.j]

After having excavated f542 to get a level surface in this locus we have reached the level at which the eastern half of this locus had been excavated in J2 (k23). Yesterday we had reached the bottom of f541 and the deposit of f542 seemed to continue in the entire square and this was excavated as f552. The large stone that had already been excavated in J2 was relayed and assigned f554. Five small boulders were relayed and collectively assigned to f555. [Input: Q820VE.j]

Today we finished removing the North baulk of k106. We did not excavate it to the level of k106 (which is now at the bottom of the deposits that cover the revetment wall) but to the level of k107 instead. The present state of k107 gives us a view of how the second apron must have looked like when its sacral use had been given up. [Input: Q823VE.j]

At first the entire surface of k106 was excavated consisted of the hard compact layer of naturally compacted surfaces f552. Then we proceeded to excavate f552 only in the Northern half of k106 in order to expose the face of the top of the revetment wall. f552 was closed when we reached the softer accumulation f573.

The stones that had been partially uncovered yesterday in the Northern half of k1 were further uncovered by excavating the Southern half of k106 to the same level. Several more large boulders were uncovered and relayed: f584, f586, f587, f588 and f589. These boulders seem to lie on the same level as the ash deposit of f577. The small boulder f580 was removed. We cleaned the faces of the stones of the top of the revetment wall. It was clear that some of these boulders are not resting directly on the other stones of the revetment wall, but were instead resting on deposits. This proves the hypothesis that the top of the revetment wall was a younger addition. [Input: Q831VE.j]

Locus k107 was opened today. The northern part of k107 has already been excavated by the German team from Tuebingen University as B6. We removed the top soil f539 in the southern part of k107. We then excavated the underlying natural accumulation f540 until we reached the naturally compacted floor f547. On top of f547 were lying the stone half circle f544 and the small grey deposit f546.

We continued today to excavate f553, a continuation of f550, which we closed when we had uncovered the third step (from the top) of f556. The continuation of this natural accumulation was f553. Several more steps have been uncovered when we excavated f553. [Input: Q820VE.j]

Yesterday bP provided the marker points that define the eastern edge of k107. Today we set the eastern section baulk back to its correct position. For the deposits that would be removed in this process we created the feature f559. After pictures had been taken of the section baulks in this square we started to remove the southern section, i.e. the northern section baulk of k106. We also started to clean the east side of the East section baulk. That side was excavated in a previous campaign as a part of J02. Because that side would be the western section of the J2 locus it had not been drawn yet. We will do this because this section shows the stratigraphy in the gap (both horizontaly and vertically) between the second apron and the revetment wall. [Input: Q822VE.j]

In k107 we opened f570 which is the natural deposit that lies between the second apron and the revetment wall and which underlies the second apron f532. Feature f570 is a wash layer and it is the same deposit as the ashy deposit in the East section of the East baulk of k107. Many small bones were found here and therefore we decided to sift all the deposits from this small area. Under f570 appeared baqaya and possibly the edges of two pits that were cut into the baqaya glacis. [Input: Q828VE1.j]

In k107 we excavated the little deposits f570 that remained on top of the baqaya, f581. After we noticed remains of mud bricks at the Eastern edge of the q-lot we decided to extend the feature further to the East and clean the surface there and remove only a thin layer. The exact connection between the baqaya f581 and that mudbrick cover f582 remains unclear. The pits that I yesterday thought cut the baqaya seem to be an animal hole. The mudbricks f583 lie under the second apron f556 and on top of the wash layer f570. The boulder f580 was relayed and will be removed tomorrow because it most likely had rolled down from the second apron f532. [Input: Q830VE1.j]

This photograph and its series of sub-views show the section of the west baulks of loci k106 and k107. One can see all of the accumulations that were deposited above the second apron, f532, and the revetment wall (not yet excavated and not shown here). It is clear that when the apron went out of use, no further significant occupation occurred here up to the present time. For example there are no pits, mudbricks, arrangements of stones, or varying textures and composition of layers that typically provide evidence of human presence. [Input: RY01JW.j]

The original purpose of this view and subview was to show the location of a large limestone block, f507, which had an impression the excavator attributed to human grinding activity. The main view shows all the large limestone blocks south of the second apron, f532. These blocks seem to have been displaced from elsewhere and randomly deposited. The small rounded arrow on block f507 shows the location of the impression. Unfortunately, the subview, v537a, that was to show, in close-up, the mark on f507, is missing the photo. Subview, v537b shows limestone blocks in closeup just to the north of f507, but not that block itself. [Input: RY01JW.j]

This photograph shows the full extent of loci k106 and k107 after the north baulk of k106, which separated them, had been removed. Although the stepped stone structure, f566, had been mostly exposed, the revetment wall to its south (excavated in previous seasons as part of J2 and just visible in the lower left of the photo) had not yet been exposed. The subview shows two large boulders, f561 and f562, (which had been displaced and redeposited in antiquity by natural forces), just before they were removed. [Input: RY01JW.j]

This view was planned to consist of two photographs of a natural floor surface, f566, which had been covered by natural accumulation, f557, south of the second apron, f532, and shown on the left side of the photo for the preceding view, v539. The main view photo is not in the record, V19, and either was not taken as planned or taken and lost for some reason. As a result, this photo, originally intended as a subview, will serve as the main view and the template will be produced from it. The floor, f566, is south of and appears to abut the second apron, f532. There are nine large limestone blocks shown, f507, f509, f510, f520, f529, f530, f543, f551, and f553 that are not a part of the second apron, are deposited randomly atop it, and appear to have been moved from elswhere. Note that the photograph was taken under strong light and shade, suggesting that it was intended as a progress shot. [Input: RY01JW.j]

This view and sub-view are record-quality photos of the same subject as the progress photo above. It focuses on a natural floor, f566, and its relationship with the second apron, f532, which it abuts. Also important is the floor's relationship with ten large, randomly oriented limstone blocks, f507, f509, f510, f519, f520, f529, f530, f543, f551, f563, which, because they sit on the floor and the apron, must have been deposited later, after the floor and apron were put in place and began to be used. Note that two subviews were listed in the view log, both with identical entries which did not include a description. A faulty entry for v541a, which does not have a photo in V19 is suspected.

This view documents a significant moment in the excavation; one where floor, f566, and accumulation, f500, had both been excavated to reveal a natural floor, f534, which extended from the south edge of the second apron, f532, south to the south baulk of k1. It abuts the second apron, f532. The photo also shows a number of displaced large limestone blocks, f507, f509, f510, f519, f520, f524, f525, f526, f527, f529, f530, f543, f551, and f563.

This view, was taken after v543 (but in the same location). Excavation had proceeded a bit longer in locus k107, with the purpose of determining the relationship between the stepped stone structure, f556, and the revetment wall, f569, which had been previously excavated as part of unit J2. One can see four of the top stones of wall addition, f591, in an E-W line atop the lower E-W line of the revetment wall, f569. In the process of this phase of the work, a bronze tool, i501, was discovered and subview, v544c, documents its context. Note that f556 has been laid on a surface that consists, in the south part, of a layer of ashy soil, f570, baqaya, f581, and mud bricks, f582. [Input: RY01JW.j]

This sub-view shows the foundation of the stepped stone structure, f556. Although the mini-section should have been scored to emphasise the components, one can make out traces of an ashy deposit, f570, upon which the stones sit, as well as a baqaya surface, f581, at the bottom of the exploratory trench as well as some mudbricks, f582, that are covered by the ash, f570.

This view is a late progress shot of the western half of the east section of J3. It was recorded for stratigraphic purposes in the last few days of excavation here and shows the relationship of a large number of floating limestone blocks scattered randomly atop and to the south of the second apron, f532, and what was believed to be the top of the revetment wall, f569. (Note that these stones may really be associated with the wall's memory stones, f591.) Sub-view, v545c proports to show a layer of baqaya, but the exact location is unclear from the photo.

This sub-view shows the results of a small stratigraphic test probe dug between boulders f507 to the south and f520 to the north. This was done to correlate the discovery of a baqaya layer, f581, in locus k106 directly to the east. A baqaya surface, f594, was found here, covered by accumulation, f571. However, from the camera angle, these two layers are difficult to discriminate. [Input: RY01JW.j]

This subview is taken from the same relative lateral position as v545c, but looking in the opposite direction. The view of the baqaya is blocked by boulders f509 and f510. In the top center one sees what may be the top stones of the revetment wall, f569, while in the left foreground on sees what may be the the memory stones, f591, associated with that wall.

This photograph is a general view to the north of loci k106 and k107 taken after most of the excavations were complete there, but before the N-S baulk separating these loci from k1 and k2 to the west had been removed. The top part of the south face of monumental wall, f569, had been exposed, as had lines of memory stones, f591, which had been placed atop it after f569 had been covered with natural accumulation. One can see the stepped stone structure, f556 in the top part of the photograph. At the very top appear two new features that were not named at the time of excavation: an unexcavated pillar of soil, f636, and an isolated stone, f637. [Input: RY01JW.j]

This sub-view was taken looking down from the west baulk of k106 and shows the bottom of the excavation trench that probed for the south face of the revetment wall, f569. There are three stones at the bottom of the trench (as of the time of the photo undesignated) that had been deposited while f569 was still in use and visible. These stones were eventually removed in the last days of the excavation. [Input: RY01JW.j]

Because of the camera angles, f581 and f570, visible only in the section of the south edge of f556, are not visible in the main view. [Input: RY01JW.j]

This view was taken after the excavations in k1 and k2 of the second apron, f532, the revetment wall, f569, and the memory stones, f591, were complete. However, the N-S baulks forming the east and west sides of k1 and k2 were still in place. Approximately 50 cm of the south face of f569 was exposed in a narrow trench just to the south of the face. One can see three limestone blocks in the bottom of this trench, f575, f579, f585. There are a number of displaced limestone blocks (f509, f510, f520, f524, f525, f526, f527, f528, f529, f530, f543, f553, f561) laying atop the apron, memory stones, and the accumulations to the south of the revetment wall, suggesting that they were deposited after abandonment of this part of the temple mound complex.

This view was taken after the major part of the excavations of k106 and k107 had been completed, but before the N-S baulk separating them from loci k1 and k2 to the west had been removed. The top 50 cm of the south face of the revetment wall, f569, had been exposed, as had the memory stones above it, f591, and the stepped stone structure to its north, f556. Several boulders can be seen in the accumulation below the wall top, and two boulders that must have been deposited after f569 was covered can be seen well to its south. Subviews show clearly that the memory stones were placed atop an accumlation which covered the revetment wall. [Input: RY01JW.j]

This view was taken to illustrate the complex relationship among five sets of components: the revetment wall, f569; a later set of memory stones placed atop it, f591; an apron to the north of the revetment wall, f532; displaced limestone boulders which were deposited after the wall system went out of use; and displaced limestone boulders which were deposited in accumulation, f576, while the south face of the revetment wall was still visible and before the memory stones and the apron were constructed. The last subview, v553e, shows a small patch of baqaya, material that formed the surface of the original temple mound, under the south edge of the apron along the east baulk of k1. [Input: RY01JW.j]

This subview shows a layer of baqaya that was found at the bottom of a small exploratory trench along the intersection of the southeastern corner of the second apron, f532, and the east baulk of k1 and k2. The presence of the baqaya would indicate that the basic temple mound system exposed in the west part of J3 (which included such a coating to the north of the revetment wall) was not modified until the wall became covered and the second apron was built.
