op This feature consistes of alternate layers of hard red and softer grayish soil, interspersed at the bottom by layers of sherds, one of which is f242.  It could be one of two things:  either a series of accumulations which lay against the second escarpment, f184, or the second escarpment itself, comprised of layers instead of a single mass of baqaya.  Later we will cut a trench into f241 toward the revetment wall, f189, to see if we can resolve this dilemma.

ds This is a layer of sherds and a few bones which extends south from the excavated south face of f241.  Close inspection reveals it to be one of the composit layers of f241, the top ones having been excavated or eroded away.

ds This is a soft, grayish layer of accumulation to the south of the sherd layer, f242, in k106.  Its northern edge is irregular, suggesting that it is the detritus from an erosion event.

ds This is a brownish accumulation under floor, f74, in the western part of k105.  Floor, f74, was grayish and uniformly compacted to a high degree.  This accumulation is more moist and has a hard, irregular surface pockmarked with areas of soft accumulation.  It was well sealed by f74.

ds This is a layer of mudbrick which abuts wall, f41, and lies south of the third exposed "step" of stone installation, f205.  We are in the process of excavating higher levels of floors and accumulations to the west so that we can determing the western and southern extent.  It was well sealed by f74 above.

f 246
ds This is a level floor surface of grayish soil, very small pebbles and relatively few sherds.  It slopes slightly to the south and it abuts the third step of stair, f205.  It goes into the north and southwestern baulks of k106 and extends for about 5 meters southward into an area damaged by water flow.  It was well-sealed by f244 above.
