f 137
ha When this feature was originally excavated in MZ21, it was observed that it was unusual in that it sloped down from west to east.  Further excavation in MZ22 revealed that downslope was the west side of a gully that was cut into f137 by fast-flowing water.  A number of such gullys are in this and adjacent loci in many strata.  Overall, f137 slopes up from west to east as it meets the revetment wall, f41.

-dy We are nearing the end of the First Study Period, having already finished the Second UGR period.  Except for a brief time when we performed additional field work, the staff has worked in the house to prepare the first draft of the final UGR.  It includes entering and checking all logs, checking relays and making plots, finishing templates, processing objects, drawing sections, and stratigraphic analysis.  So far, there have been no significant problems.  In the next study period we will cross-check entries and correct discrepancies.  jW will prepare the discursive side for publication.

f 292
ds A small wedge of soil seen in the west section of k105.  It is most likely one of the many water channels cut into accumulations in this area.

f 293
ds A cut limestone block whose thickness is considerably less than its height or width.  Its top leans obliqely against revetment wall, f41, while its base rests on the east edge of the top stone, f265, of the first escarpment, ^esc1. This feature, f293 appears placed to deflect water dripping over the top of the wall away from the base, thus reducing the possibility of erosion.
