This photo intends to show the circular hole, cut close to one of the limestone edges. Overhead. v 97 ds This view shows the a2 in k73, and in general loci k100, k83, k82, k72 at the end of the 2006 excavation season. Looking N. v 98 ds This view shows the k71, and partly, k70 as well, at the end of the 2006 excavation season. This view shows f10, f50 in k71 and the difference in elevation between this locus and k72, where, besides different floating limestones, a galcis layer was exposed (f127). The section visible in the view (which is the N section of k72) does suggest that f50 is part of the build-up of the tell mound, since it is mainly made of a series of different layering of fine and less fine soil, which seems to be water and wind-blown deposits. The view shows also f106 and its pedestal; f106 was found while removing another floating stone, f20, hidden whithin its accumulation (f98). Looking N. v 99 ds This is a general view of wall J02f129 and the staircase (J02f130) in J02 unit: it is intended to show the position of one of the stones belonging to this wall which has been worked, since it presents a circular hole, cut close to one of the edges.

These are probably part of the dump^1 that interested the J04 area. While scraping the E section of the baulk within k73, where the sherd floor f154 has been exposed, several brick fragments, in a random position, were noticed. It is probable that these bricks belong to the collapse of a structure located in the S portion of J04 unit or -more probably- in the north portion of J06 area and are part of what, in J06 unit, has been defined as bf^1, the brick-melt accumulation which is the top-most part of the brickfall bf^2.

Looking S. v 104 ds This view shows the E section of k73 and the S portion of locus k73 where a mud-brick structure has been exposed (f170) while removing the accumulation within the locus, f89. It shows the relationship between f170, possibly a portion of a mud-brick wall, and the features located in the same locus. Looking S.
