-wk In the absence of workman Abd el Hamid, workman Ghandi was detailed to assist in measuring for drawing sections.

-sf Student Zuzan corrected sections of the N and E baulks of k103 and began drawing the N baulk of k104.  jW split time between the field and at home, preparing the journal, teaching about drawing sections, and preparing for taking relays and making test photographs to assist in drawing the stones of f10 and f11 in k12.

-sn Finished section drawings of the north and east baulks of k103.  Began drawing the N section of k104

ns While in the process of taking test photographs, jW closely examined the section of the west baulk of this locus in the vicinity of where the line of stones, f72, was located.  It clearly shows a grayish brown deposit, f34, capped in some places by bakhia and a horizontal course of bricks, sloping up from the top of the monumental wall, f11, north to the site of the BA temple.  It is about one meter higher than the level of the first complete bakhia layer, f50, that we encountered.  In light of the very early date (Late Chalcolithic III) for the sherds found in the accumulations comprising this ashy deposit, it is reasonable to presume that its top represents the level of the original terrace.  Digging with the large pick, we failed to recognize the full impact of compacted fill, f34, during the excavations.  Since the line of stones, f72, was atop this ashy deposit, we can date the placement of the stones to a period after the monumental wall, f11 was built.  We cannot rule out the possibility that f72 was a late, second millennium modification to the wall, f11, and apron, f10, system.
