Definition 2001-06-17 fAB ^ house [Input: L724LR.j]
Description (summary) 2001-06-17 fAB This structure was found without digging at all in k7 - workmen found it by merely scraping and cleaning the topsoil. Immediately, three walls with a white plaster appeared in the far south of the square, and an extent of clearly defined brickfall to the North. [Input: L617FAB.j]
2001-06-17 fAB structure- excavated by A15 [Input: L724LR.j]
Notes on description 2001-06-26 fAB I would consider ceding this structure to A15, since this means that A15 will then be able to dig the room accumulation in its entirety, instead of leaving 60-70cm of accumulation for us to dig separately. This will not, or should not, affect later strata below, since the structure a3 seems to sit on an enormous pit which reaches to palace levels. [Input: L630TR.j]
Notes on designation 2001-07-04 fAB We have given temporarily this area to A15, so that they dig this structure in its entirety. [Input: L704FAB.j]

Recovery/Assignment

Daily notes about recovery of elements 2001-06-26 fAB We have concluded for now our work within and below a3 [Input: L630TR.j]
2001-07-04 fAB k8 and k7 contain the walls of a3, which we have given to A15 to excavate, since most of the structure lies in their area. [Input: L704FAB.j]
Procedures 2001-06-17 fAB is the most recent structure in A16, so it and its brickfall must be excavated first. [Input: L617FAB.j]
