| Summary | 2008-08-27 | pC | f164 is the fill located East of wall f129 and is a red orange granular soil; the main characteristic is that slopes sharply to the South, beginning in a thick compact band and finishes in the range of 3 meters in a thin horizontal layer (f174). The purpose of this fill is still not clear: a probable explanation is that is in function to protect wall f129 [Input: S826PC.J] |

| Description (summary) | 2008-08-25 | cVP | Red accumulation excavated in the E baulk of k84. It seems to be the same as J4f150 from k83, that slopes down N-S. [Input: S825CVP.J] |
| 2009-08-15 | yM | it’s the feature assigned to the red glacis or escarpment in k104 that we see in safety baulk east of wall f129 and in k104 and the eastern section of k85 and k84. as we mentioned before that we want to cut 80 cm from the safety baulk starting from the level of the section in order to see the other face of wall 129. so the first layer we removed is the red glacis f164. this feature consist from very dry soil on top that turns into a grainy sandy loam when braked while it turns to more of a fine soft sandy loam in the lower parts of it as for before breakage its more compacted on the bottom and dose not contain mixed ashy gray materials like it dose on the upper parts. The color is a distinctive strong reddish brown with some bricky material visible now in section. [Input: T817YM.J] |

| Daily notes about recovery of elements | 2008-09-02 | pC | today, while drawing the East section ok k84, we recognized that f164 was probably cut in ancient times, probably in mittani: the top part has a curved slope, which is unnatural. see expecially drawing of the east baulk of k84 [Input: S902PC.J] |
| 2009-08-16 | pC | Today was removed a part of f164 in the safety baulk of k104 east of wall f129. This was made to do a sounding east of wall f129. f164 on the top was soft and dusty, after 30 cm became chuncky and dark red. The soil is almost all earth whit very few sherds. We made a soil sample [Input: T816PC.J] | |
| Argument | 2008-08-27 | pC | f164 is very thick and high to the North, in j4k100 (J4f150) and slopes sharply South. In k84 instead becomes thinner and stops sloping; at the end in mixes with a brown accumulation. [Input: S826PC.J] |

| 2008-09-01 | mKB | on relooking at f164 in light of the fact that it is equal to f174 and J4 f150 I think that it too should date to late Phase h33. For the determination of late Phase h33 see entry under J6f174.The combed decoration which was unique when I previously looked at the feature are now found in other sherds in these features and therefore cannot be an imitation.

| Notes on time sequencing | 2008-08-27 | pC | f164 is dated to Pase h33 for the pottery and is later than wall f129. We still do not understand whether wall f129 was a free standing wall in the time of its construction and only after a couple of centuries they added f164 to protect it, or there was a cut that removed what was aganist and contemporary to wall f129.
