dy We continued removing the natural accumulation, f44, but we didn`t remove the stones of f40.  Under the last mentioned feature, we found a hard, compact crust.  Lots q55 and q58 came frome above the crust.  Lot q61 came from under the crust, and was sent to mKB for analysis because it might contain Middle Assyrian pottery.

k 44
dy We divided the locus into northern and southern half.  Then we started excavating the northern half, and removing the natural accumulation, f47.  In this accumulation, in the middle of the locus, we found a new floor of stones, f49, which is not related to the stone floor to the west of it, f28.  There are two soil layers below the bottom of f28 and the top of f49.  We noticed the layers in the section that goes under f28. The first layer is soft accumulation that comes directly under f28, and covers a crust that comes above the second stone floor, f49.  Because we removed, f47, with the big pick, we didn`t notice that it was composed of the two layers mentioned above.  After photographing the new features, we started to remove the natural accumulation, f47, in the southern part of this locus, and we found that the stones, f49, continued to the south baulk.

k 24
dy We started to excavate the southwestern quadrant of this locus, by removing the natural accumulation, f52.  We found at least two steps below and to the west of the original stones of f21.  The new steps are made of large dressed stones.

ds After excavating the eastern edge of this feature in k44, we found out that it built with no foundation, in one layer, above soft natural accumulation, f47. It looks like a path that dosen`t continue toward the east.

f 47
ds Natural accumulation that is visible under the stone path, f28, among the eastern section of this feature.  It covers a compact, crust which is also visible in the same section, but we didn`t recognize it, and removed it with the soft accumulation above it, f47, since we were digging it with the big pick.
