Description | 2008-7-19 | hQ | k100 is located in area C2(Schicht 16-German excavation area). It belongs to J6, being the structures related to J6 area and temple terrace. [Input file: S719HQ.J / S719HQ.-J] |
2008-12-31 | pC | k100 is a locus located in area C2 and was already excavated in previous years by the german team directed by Peter Pfälzner (see publications in MDOG for further information). This part of the tell is residencial, except for a stone structure, which in our assumption (gB and fAB) belongs to the temple area. Therefore we decided to better explore the stone structure this year. Being this area statigraphically connected to area J6, and located a few meters south of it, was decided to be documented under J6 book and supervision. [Input file: SZ31PC.J / SZ31PC.-J] |
Daily | 2008-7-19 | hQ | we started working in k100 first assigning to all the area one feature which was the top soil f20, which had lot of sherds; after removing the top soil we assigned in k100 4 features which are f23, f24, f25, f26. After removing the top soil f20, we started with f23. f23 is located in the south west edge of k100 and is a natural accumulation of a soft brown soil; in this feature we found seal impressions. Then we started cleaning f24. f24 consists in a wall running from east to west and abuts wall f23 from the south and f25 from north. We moved to f25 which is a dark brown soft soil which contains some stones touching f24 in some points. Then we moved to f26 which is a soft soil with some sherds and plant roots and is covering what it last from k100. [Input file: S719HQ.J / S719HQ.-J] |
2008-7-20 | hQ | we started working in k100 first by removing part of f26 to level the floor. f26 covers all the square except f23, f24, f25. f26 is a soft soil with chunks and some thick plant roots. Then we started digging f25 to level it with f26 and f24. f25 abuts wall f24; it is a dark brown soft soil with a lot of sherds. Then we started following the wall from its corner northward. we dug 1 meter by 1 meter squares above the wall surface; after we expose the wall we clean it to be phtographed and measured.

Strategy | 2008-12-31 | pC | all the soil removed in k100 was backfill, except for a small part above wall f27: we found palstic bags of the german excavation and mixed pottery; we found also some seal impressions, but this can be explained by the presence of a dump in this area and found by the german team. Looking at the fotos of the german excavation we can assume that they excavated deeper the us, expecially south of wall f24. f27, instead was excavated partly by the german team and this year we uncovered probably all the wall. We will excavate it completly next year, being this area very delicate, both for statigraphy and presence of lot of seal impressions. [Input file: SZ31PC.J / SZ31PC.-J] |
C99.NRecovery | 2008-12-31 | pC | k100 was not defined by markers, therefore there is no plot for this locus and we do not have the measurements. This was done in purpose, because we did not want to excavate and draw sections, but only to clean it. The dimensions of the locus are approximately long as the wall f24 and f27.
