-wk 3 picks and 6 in support reported for work.  Swar did not return after breakfast due to back problems and was excused by faB.  Ahmed, who was assigned to work with us for five days departed.

-eq At the suggestion of mO, rigged a pipe to carry dirt from k12 to mouth of the elevator and thence directly to a trailer for removal from the site.  Overall efficiency much improved as compared to lifting the dirt by bucket to wheelbarrows which carry it to a dump which must be periodically shoveled into the removal trailer.

-dy Continued to explore for the south face of the temple wall, f11, in k101.  On the east side, encountered a face of small stones, perhaps used as stabilizers between two larger stones, above and below.  On the west side, access to the wall face is partially blocked by a very large, apparently fallen stone from above to the north.  In k12, we are leveling the locus, having excavated more in the SE corner to expose the wall apron, f10.  Accumulation beginning to change from powdery tan to darker, denser brown.  This is more characteristic of containment, particularly from below and may signal that we are nearing the wall top.
