Description (summary) 2008-09-06 rE We gave the bottom of f239 a new feature number, because we found many unorganized mud bricks and baqaya pieces. It could be the foundation of f239. We will figure out in further excavation. [Input: S813RE.j]
2009-07-27 lC Layer with many fragments of mud brick. No complete mud bricks were recovered and the fragments are 5 to 15 cms in dimensions and yellow to red in colour. The feature has some small ashes lenses, accumulations of pure clay and fragments of baqaya. It is very compact and incoherent at the same time but it is almost the same all over the area we are excavating. Probably all these broken and dump materials have been used to built the later escarpment because f294 is interpreted as the bottom, perhaps the preparation for the ED III escarpment f239. Its texture is the same going deeper but the colour is slightly changing from a reddish yellow to a yellow tending to gray. [Input: T718LC.j]

Recovery/Assignment

Roster Date Author Record
Daily notes about recovery of elements 2009-07-27 lC Today we started to remove f294 that after a strong brushed seems to be the same of f296. We excavated this feature with small pick paying attention to keep all the pottery sherds and objects, very important for dating. Going deeper it is slightly changing in colour, with a greyish soil still full of mud brick fragments. At the end of the day we found a thin ashy layer and tomorrow we will check the relationship between f294, the thin ash layer (probably not the same of f278) and the sloping surface f317. [Input: T718LC.j]
Notes on recovery 2009-07-28 lC On contrary of what said at the end of last season we think that probably f296 is the same of f294 and both belong to the construction of the second escarpment. First the texture of the features is the same, and it is very similar to f239, second to a first look to the pottery mKB asserts that f294 and f296 are identical to f239 and date clearly to ED III.
