| Description | 2009-8-13 | pC | k106 is a small locus located in front of the obelisks f100 and f177, located where k102 was. We changed locus number because we did not know where excacly the old locus was. k106 is defined from relays r557, r558, r559, r560. [Input file: T810PC2.J / T810PC2.-J] |
| 2009-8-13 | pC | k106 is located in the souther portion of k104 (old k83) and continues the deep sounding of j4k100. The goal in k106 is to find the Late Chalcolithic levels. in J4 f160 were mixed sherds with LC pottery [Input file: T810PC2.J / T810PC2.-J] |
| Daily | 2009-8-13 | pC | Yesterday after removiang in all k84 floor f277 we concentrated excavating only in k106 in front of the obelisks. The goal here is to reach the salmon colored floor found in all J2 in front of the apron. This floor is seen in the east section of k200 and we srill have 40 cm to reach it. Under f277 is f286 [Input file: T810PC2.J / T810PC2.-J] |
| 2009-8-13 | pC | Yesterday we continued excavating in k106 strating with f281 which is the first 5 cm of accumulation probably contaminated by exposure and assigned also to the cleaning of the sections. f285 is a natural accumualion, soft, wet and dark gray in color; a seal impression i28 was found in this accumulation. Under f285 was exposed the first sloping surface which is f284. f284 slopes sharply to the south-east and in surface was compact and with phytolits. f284 was fotographed and removed. while picked it has a blocky structure has some pieces of gypsum and bakaya. Under f284 was exposed at the end of the day another feature f287, which has the same slope of f184 and is at the highest point from m6218 +102-140 and the lowest is from m6218 +77-140 high.

| 2009-8-13 | yM | in k106 we went down further more removing an accumulation layer f291 which was hard, flaky and dry. It was a thin layer covering the next layer of accumulations f292 which is a much softer layer that broke I to fine sand ones hit with the pick. This layer was much thicker then the previous one f291 but still a part of the many living floors that we have in that area. Tomorrow we will continue going down until we reach the salmon layer that we are connecting to the staircase and apron constructing period. We should reach that goal by tomorrow.

| 2009-8-16 | pC | today was finished to remove natural accumulation f292 which is a soft accumulation and covers f303, a compact flacky surface f303: this should be above the salmon floor seen in section. [Input file: T816PC.J / T816PC.-J] | |
| 2009-8-16 | yM | we started working today in this locus by removing accumulation layer f292 in which we found many seeds that we took as samples to be analyzed. This feature contained many layers due to the fact that it’s a living floor. It was soft on the top and got slightly harder on the bottom. This feature removal took all day because we removed it very slowly and carefully using the small pick and the brush in order to be able to notice any changes. [Input file: T817YM.J / T817YM.-J] | |
| 2009-8-17 | yM | today we removed in this locus the feature that follows f292 which is f303 a floor type d. it’s a hard compacted layer that softens slightly as going down an then it becomes very hard but easy to flack right on top of the salmon layer f312. after having removed this layer we finally reached the salmon layer f312.

| Strategy | 2009-8-13 | pC | The goal in k106 is to find the Late Chalcolithic levels. in J4 f160 were mixed sherds with LC pottery, therefore we should be not far from LC strata [Input file: T810PC2.J / T810PC2.-J] |
| 2009-8-16 | pC | Tomorrow will be reached the goal for k106, which is to find the salmon floor in front of obelisks [Input file: T816PC.J / T816PC.-J] |
