-sf jW worked at home for substantial periods before and after breakfast peparing the UGR for a stratigraphic review by the staff tomorrow.

-sg As we excavate the portion of k100 to the east of J1k7, we will extend the "steps down" to the east to reduce the amount of excavation required this season and provide a sufficient sight line to the northeast from the viewing platform.  In k33, we will clear enough accumulation to follow floor surface, f230, to the north and west.  There will be no excavations in k105 or k106 today.

ds A single unfounded stone atop volumetric material, f240, which in turn rests atop stone installation, f194, which was a structure probably built to stabilize the flat area to the west of the monumental staircase, f21.  This area was subject to constant erosion from water flowing from north to south hroughout the Mittani period and before.

ac Pickman Mizar found the cartridge casing from a modern bullet while picking.  Perhaps not understanding that we keep all items, regardless of age, he discarded it.  Despite two searches of the area, it could not be located.
