Another wall, f142, runs alongside f5. One may have been constructed as a buttress for the other, but the building sequence and relationship of these two walls is unclear. Two large Khabur vessels and several human bones were found inside a1. The structure is likely an eroded burial.

One question that comes to the fore is the link between a1 and a2; are they part of the same structure? It seems not; while the alignment is similar, the section does not show wall f5 from k5, so we think that it is not linked with f10 in k6. The elevations of the two differ beginning approximately 50-90cm, and were walls f5 and f10 to belong to the same structure, it is a bit odd that one room lies to the south of the wall and one to the north. B11 2001-07-07_L707LR.j lR This is a one room structure found in k5 consisting of three walls f4, f5, and f7. B11 2001-07-09_L724LR.j fAB single room structure B11 2002-07-30_M730SB2.j sB room *** A16 plate 502 C1 2001-06-09_L630TR.j fAB We recovered several sherds that came through the plastic of the backfill and were collected by fab and Mohammed Ommo. They seem to be several types of ceramic, not a complete vessel, but the design on a portion of the sherds is similar, so worth looking to see if a few sherds may go together. They were described by mkb as being Khabur in date. They were probably left in place previously because f3 was not excavated and the typical design gives a secure dating for this feature. These sherds have been collected as q1 C1 2001-06-10_L630TR.j lR We began excavating f3 in k5 on the eastern side of a1. This feature contains ashy material mixed with pieces of reddish clay. The sherds encountered were in an oblique position, which suggests that it is an accumulation. Approximately 8-10cm was excavated. C1 2001-06-12_L630TR.j sB Today we plan to reach the wall and create a nice flat leveled surface then photograph the area. The material in this structure contains lots of sherds, bones, charcoal, and fragments of bricks, which we have left for the photo. 15cm from the East wall we found some burnt grain/seeds all along the wall for 1.5m; these were collected as samples. C1 2001-06-14_L630TR.j lR In a1 we are coming down on several medium size stones and bones. We have several large pieces of mud brick scattered in the area, which we are leaving pedestalled to help, understand the collapse of this structure. The two items inside a1 are large Khabur vessels; i2 is standing upright next to the wall running E-S and has three dark decoration bands on the vessel. i4 is lying on its side and has 5 decoration lines and is located in the NE corner. We removed i2 since the bottom was smashed inwards and were afraid that the sherds might be lost if left in place. Inside the fill, f23, we found seeds, pottery, a grinding stone fragment, and one tooth. We excavated a total of 15cm on the East side of the locus (in a1) and will leave the area since we are most likely either on the floor or close to it. We probably should have left the base of i2 in place but was afraid that the bottom sherds would get lost since there were many small pieces; an indentation remains where the base was standing. C1 2001-07-13_L818LR.j sV we have begun to remove the three walls of the one-room structure a1, which is composed of the northern f7, the western f4, and the southern f5 walls. The strategy for removal is as follows, we plan to remove each brick layer horizontally with the intention of fully exposing a clear surface (the original surface was severely eroded and damaged) to understand the construction of this structure. abk and gz have volunteered to supervise this project and will provide sketches of these constructional phases. After removing some courses of the bricks, we have realized that f5 consists of two unbonded walls next to each other. The external wall, labeled f142 measures 110cm in width and 330cm in length and extends out of the square into A13. It appears bonded with the wall f4 (east wall). The second internal wall f5, measures 70cm in width and 350cm in length and does not bond with walls f4 and f142. It must be stressed that the inner part of the wall f5, measuring 70cm appears to consist of broken melted bricks with the mortar alternating between two bricks in width whereas the external side consists basically of one brick width. We expect to find a similar situation in the northern wall f7, where a fissure is visible in the inner northeast corner between f7 and f4 (this fissure likely delineates the two walls). Moreover on the top of the wall it seems that a bond exists between the wall f4 and an internal portion of the wall f5, measuring 70cm in width. This internal wall is not bonded with the external wall, consisting of two courses of 40x40 bricks and measuring 90cm in width. C1 2001-07-23_L818LR.j sV Some questions are not yet solved with regard to the a1 structure. The south wall appears to consist of two walls instead of the presumed one wall f5. The external one, which has been labeled f142, seems to be bonded with f4. However, the internal wall (f5) shows no bonding to either walls. This wall is 70cm wide similar in width to the other wall f7 located on the northern side. At this moment we are removing slowly and carefully the courses of bricks from each wall to understand fully the relationship of these walls to the structure itself and to f50 and f51. C1 2001-07-25_L728LR.j lR all of a1 has been removed except for the portion within the north baulk C2 2001-07-15_-M726-A.j fAB As these walls are h5c, we aim to remove them soon. C3 2001-06-10_L630TR.j fAB One question that comes to the fore is the link between a1 and a2; are they part of the same structure? It seems not; while the alignment is similar, the section does not show the wall from k5, so we think that it is not linked with the wall in k6. The elevations of the two differ beginning approximately 50-90cm, and were walls these two walls from a1 and a2 to belong to the same structure, it is a bit odd that one room lies to the South of the wall and one to the North. C3 2001-06-14_L630TR.j lR Originally we thought that the three walls in a1 made up a one room structure related to a living area such as a house, but it appears that it might be a burial based on the following facts: 1)The structure only has three courses of bricks but the jar i2 and the accumulation inside the structure continues to go down 2)The walls are not bonded which seems odd for a house 3)Several human bones were recovered which could have possibly washed down from a higher level or do in fact belong to a burial. Given these facts it seems most likely that this structure is a burial that has been eroded away. One interesting thing to argue against a1 being a tomb is the thickness of the walls, which are considerably thick for a burial. On the wall running W-N it is possible that there is another burial that would explain its thickness but we need to remove the eroded bricks on the surface to see. C5 2001-06-17_L617FAB.j fAB This aggregate is a bit puzzling at this point. We are faced with the following situation: There are three walls, forming a U with the opening to the W-SW. These walls seem to be at least 2 1/2 bricks wide, at times perhaps as thick as 3 1/2 bricks wide. The wall to the SW, f5, and the wall to the NW, f7, is composed of rows of bricks that are not bonded to each other, as if there were 2 or 3 single brick walls that were running parallel to each other with no space in between the rows. f5 could be a bench, since there are so few rows of bricks remaining, and the base of the wall seems to drop in elevation as the wall goes towards the SE. The accumulations are also puzzling: f3 is what we have defined the ac that is enclosed within the U shape of the walls, but it is unclear if f24 is a part of the aggregate or not. If it is, then the walls do not come down to the floor we presume is below. We presume a floor because the nearly intact pots i2 and i4, which sit in f24, must rest on a common floor, which runs under f24. So why are the walls founded so much higher than the floor? We may consider the fact that the walls are a later structure, and that f24 is an earlier accumulation. But if this is the case, why are i4 and i2 in exactly the opposite corners of the room a1 and intact, despite the building that was built on top of them? C30 2007-07-11_R711CJC.j cJC Unclear relationship between walls f5, f4 and f142. Both f5 and f142 are labeled as a buttress, and both are described as not bonding with f4. They are presumeably two distinct walls, since a difference was seen in the field, and one is the original wall while the other is a buttress - it remains unclear which is which. After reviewing all of the entries relating to this discrepancy, we are unable to resolve the issue. Several entries reflect this ambiguity, but we left the entries as they are to document the view of the individual excavators as the work unfolded. C30 2007-07-18_R718CJC.j fab No further information given regarding tomb structure. C99 2001-06-14_L630TR.j lR originally we thought that the three walls in a1 made up a one room structure possible a house but it appears that it is a burial based on the facts that Iko pointed out; the structure only has three courses of bricks and then stops but the pot and ^aa continues to go down. the walls are also not bonded which seems odd for a house; we are also encountering human bones which could have possibly washed down from a higher level. but given the other facts it seems most likely that this structure is a burial. one interesting thing however is the thickness of the walls which is strange for a tomb. on the wall running W-N it is possible that there is another burial that would explain its thickness; that it may not be a wall, but we have not excavated completely the area where the baulk is to the North, but it seems that there is bricky material all along that area and it seems to be a wall. In a1 we are coming down on several medium size stones and bones. we have several large pieces of mudbrick scattered in th area which we are leaving pedestalled to help understand the collapse. The two items inside a1 are large Khabur vessels. i2 is standing upright next to the wall running E-S; has three dark bands on the vessel. i4 is lying on its side and has 5 lines and is located in the NE corner. we removed i2 since the bottom was smashed inwards and was difficult to remove. inside the fill, f23, we found seeds, pottery, piece of a grinding stone and one tooth. we excavated a total of 15cm on the east side of the locus (in a1) and will leave the area since we are most likely either on the floor or close to it; we probably should have left the base of i2 in place, but was afraid that the bottom sherds would get lost since there were many small pieces; an indentation remains where the base was standing. we took a photo (v1, v1a) of the area showing both i1 and i2 in place and the relationship between the two bones (mandible and the columnar vertebrae) which are not next to each other and suggest that they do not belong to the same skeleton. view v1a shows f4 the wall where the bricks end; 4 courses of bricks are visible then stop, but i4 still continues past the bricks. C99 2007-07-18_R718CJC.j fab It becomes clear from the record that the recovery of a1 was problematic, especially with regard to the southern walls f5 and f142. Compounding the problem was the fact that this was the first structure found in the season, and the excavators were still new to the UGR documentation system. C99 2007-07-18_R718CJC.j fab The fact that f5 and f142 were so close to the surface seems to have made more difficult the interpretation, especially with regard to the issues of bonding.

I99 2001-07-04_L704FAB.j fAB a1 is contemporary with a5 and a3, since all abut but are not covered by brickfall. Brick size plays a role in our understanding of the strata sequence: a1, a3, a4 and a5 are all built with bricks that are 10cm in thickness I99 2001-07-23_L818LR.j sV The north wall of this house a1, f7, appears to be in a slant foundation which fab believes belongs to phase 5b, contemporary to the large stone components f118 that align with the North wall to the East of it and is likely the foundation of an earlier wall which was destroyed (still in the phase 5b). Fab suggests that the reddish accumulation above the stones of the wall f7, a sort of fill between those and the bricks above, could belong to the following phase 5c similarly to the floor f51 and the accumulations above f50 and f24 within a1.

As we understand it now, a2 is the oldest structure that we have, as it sits on the pit in the N section of A13. a2 is clearly below a1, separated by a gray layer. a1 is contemporary with a5 and a3, since all abut but are not covered by brickfall. Questions arise when we look at the differences in elevation: a5 is considerably higher than a1 and a3. This seems to indicate a terracing, which we would expect to result from extended building in the phase of a2. I99 2001-07-23_L818LR.j sV a2 belongs to phase 5b and seems to be the only well preserved structure of this phase. The other structures to the West of a2 show a more complicated situation.

Immediately, three walls with a white plaster appeared in the far south of the square, and an extent of clearly defined brickfall to the North. B11 2001-06-17_L724LR.j fAB structure- excavated by A15 B99 2001-06-26_L630TR.j fAB I would consider ceding this structure to A15, since this means that A15 will then be able to dig the room accumulation in its entirety, instead of leaving 60-70cm of accumulation for us to dig separately. This will not, or should not, affect later strata below, since the structure a3 seems to sit on an enormous pit which reaches to palace levels. A99 2001-07-04_L704FAB.j fAB We have given temporarily this area to A15, so that they dig this structure in its entirety. C1 2001-06-26_L630TR.j fAB We have concluded for now our work within and below a3 C1 2001-07-04_L704FAB.j fAB k8 and k7 contain the walls of a3, which we have given to A15 to excavate, since most of the structure lies in their area. C4 2001-06-17_L617FAB.j fAB is the most recent structure in A16, so it and its brickfall must be excavated first.

These could not be merely subsumed under a single feature because stratigraphic continuity across the baulks has not been reached. I realize the need for this however it seems not to perfectly fit the theoretical definition of an aggregate. In my mind an aggregate is a label which describes a complex of features and items which are functionally linked. The brickfall described by a4 is linked, but the link is more of a stratigraphic understanding than a functional complex. C1 2001-06-25_L630TR.j lR we created trenches in k2, k3, and k4 to determine the depth of the brickfall a4 since it currently covers the entire area. In k2 we have found ashy pockets mixed with the brickfall and could be the end of the brickfall. In the other loci the brickfall continues on. In k1 north section the brickfall measures 170cm in thickness making it a tedious job removing this huge thick brickfall cap in the entire A16 area. The workmen have noticed that the brickfall is changing in size, before they were uncovering small crumbly fragments of bricks but now are coming down on larger components particularly in the east side of k2. C1 2001-07-04_L704FAB.j fAB These past 10 days has seen the removal of most of the baulks in A16. We felt that the sections, once drawn, were only showing brickfall, and therefore could be removed in order to show the 20m N section, which would help us link a1 and a5, the house in k5 and the wall with the drain in k4. As things now stand, we have removed most of the brickfall and have pieces of structures in most squares. C2 2001-07-08_L708LR.j lR The remaining brickfall will be completely excavated by L709, which allows time for the final photograph of all 5b structures, which will then be removed in order to expose 5a structures. C99 2001-06-26_L630TR.j fAB Today we removed the baulks between k1 and k2; k2 and k3; k3 and k4. This removes three sections and gives us a view to the N-S slope of a4, but should provide a very clear photo from the South. By removing these three baulks we will have an open area of excavation that is 19m x 4m. I have left 15cm of each baulk so that the section and loci k1, k2, k3, and k4 continue as we go down in the future.

These were originally interpreted as a drain installation, but after excavating the area it became apparent that these holes and channels were in fact animal holes. The original interpretation was then abandoned.

B11 2001-08-18_L801LR.j lR Initially we found a series of holes in the same level along f52 and defined it as a drainage system. We assigned f66 to the drain hole running east to west along the north side of f52 based on a round hole along the west side of the wall and the one half brick layer form a ledge north of f52. f68 was assigned to the drain running north south that runs through f70. These features were assigned on L625 and after excavating the area it is evident that no drainage system exists and perhaps the holes that were found are caused by rodents or other small animals and misidentified as drains. B11 2002-07-30_M730SB2.j sB *** drain C1 2001-06-25_L630TR.j lR A possible drain has been identified running alongside the wall f52 on the North side. We defined the bricks, which are a pinkish color and found on the south side a little niche where there are no bricks. We are presuming that this niche is an outlet area for the drain to pass through the wall. On the other side we also defined the bricks but they end about one meter from the East baulk. It is possible that the bricks collapsed and caused a jumble on the North side. C1 2001-06-26_L630TR.j lR We have labeled the niche found in wall f52 as f69, and currently are associating it with a drainage system a5. C1 2001-07-04_L704FAB.j fAB In k4 we have the drain and wall, a5, which seem to be among the latest structures in A16 since the brickfall a4 abuts it but does not cover it. C99 0000-00-00_R805PC.j pC f69, f68, f67, f66,f52, f60, f70, i19 were considered elements whithin a5. Since it is not a drainage system all this features do not belong to a drain. D1 2001-06-17_L724LR.j fAB k4 I99 2001-06-26_L630TR.j fAB Is this later or earlier than a4? This should be clear after determining if there is a wall in baulk k3E. I99 2001-07-04_L704FAB.j fAB a1 is contemporary with a5 and a3, since all abut but are not covered by brickfall. Questions arise when we look at the differences in elevation: a5 is considerably higher than a1 and a3. This seems to indicate a terracing, which we would expect to result from extended building in the phase of a2. Brick size plays a role in our understanding of the strata sequence: a1, a3, a4 and a5 are all built with bricks that are 10cm in thickness A16a6 A21 2001-06-28_L724LR.j !! ^s A30 2007-07-16_R716SG.j sG Vaulted structure in loci k2 and k3 containing scattered animal bones.

C1 2001-07-04_L704FAB.j fAB k2 and k3 have a very puzzling structure, a6. This, which we call the 'box' for lack of a clearer understanding of the nature of this structure, seems to be vaulted, as a tomb might be, but with plaster at the base. More excavation will tell what this structure is and what its link to the surrounding area might be. C1 2001-07-08_L708LR.j lR In a6, the box structure, 80cms has been excavated inside. The fill of the box contains broken bricks, pottery, and animal bones. The northern face shows clear brick faces with a mud plaster coating. The faces suggest a vaulted shape inside the structure. The brickfall to the west of the structure was also excavated which exposed a clearer view of the platform at the base of the box structure that protrudes one brick and a half west of the box. C1 2001-07-16_L818LR.j lR We resumed excavations in the box structure (a6) today since the burial found in a9 was found 93 cm below the beginning of the bricks. This depth suggests that perhaps we have not dug deep enough to encounter the burial of a6. We initially stopped digging in a6 since we were already at 80cm and found no signs of its use nor human remains. The workman Ahkmed is working in this area and has come down on the remains of several scattered animal bones lying close to the tomb walls. The walls of the structure are still going down and we will continue to excavate until we reach the bottom of the walls f72, and f73. C1 2001-07-16_L818LR.j lR We temporarily halted excavations inside the "box structure" since we are 80cm deep with no indication of function. We had anticipated coming down on a burial, but to date we have not encountered any material to classify this structure as a tomb. However, since the recent discovery of tomb a9 which yielded a burial at 93cm (below the top of the tomb walls) and we presume that the box structure and a9 are contemporary, than there is still a possibility that we are simply not deep enough. We have thus reopened the "box structure" today with Ahkmed currently working in this area who has come down on several scattered animal bones lying close to the tomb walls (we took several nice photographs of these bones). The bones appear to be grave offerings, but no human remains yet. The walls of the structure are still going down and we will continue excavating until we reach the bottom of the walls f72, and f73. C2 2001-07-02_L630TR.j tR We intend to approach the box structure from the West and from the South to try and understand better its construction and also to see more clearly its relationship to f77 which is an ash layer that can be seen in the N section of k6 and has also been reached in k2. We are still uncertain of the box structures function. fAB at first thought it was a grave; after some excavation I thought it may be a cistern of some sort connected to the drainage system in k4. At this point it is still unclear. C2 2001-07-08_L708LR.j lR For the box structure a6 we plan to excavate the triangular area f160 between f73 and the North baulk to see if we can find the Northern face of the structure. C99 2001-07-02_L630TR.j tR This morning while cleaning fAB discovered a layer of plaster covering which would seem to indicate that it was a freestanding structure and would argue against it being a cistern or a drainage system. It may be that we are looking at 3 phases of construction: phase I being a wall with plaster covering and possibly a bench, phase II a wall that has collapsed or been disturbed by the construction of phase III which would be a cistern or burial; or it is all one construction and makes no sense as of now. If we do indeed have 3 phases of construction we would divide the phases into seperate aggregates. Either way only further excavation will answer our questions.

It seems vaulted so it could be a tomb similar to a6, but since only a very small portion has been excavated (it is going in to the north baulk),it is impossible to be sure. More excavation is required. A35 2011-12-12_VZ12LC.j lC v45 B10 2001-07-19_L724LR.j tR ^s B11 2001-07-19_L724LR.j tR structure located north of f52 B11 2001-07-19_N220LR.j tR one room structure B11 2001-08-01_L816LR.j lR A one room structure containing walls f96, f52, and f113 (f52 is the E-W long wall). Only a small portion of walls f96 and f113 are visible and extend into the North section where we presume they continue to form a functional one-room structure. In the wall f52, there is a doorway f70, which serves as an entryway into a10. The walls f96 and f113 appear to be curving in, almost vault-like, and are plastered on the inner surface. A measuring tape was used to measure the current bottom of the room, which measures 185cm from the base of f96 to the base of f113. The top surface was measured at 160cm, which shows that the structure widens at the bottom similar to a vaulted tomb. Since we have two vaulted tombs in close proximity, a6 and a9 it is possible that this is another tomb. However, we will not know until the area north of A16 is excavated which we anticipate in the next few seasons. a10 also functioned along with a8, and we believed that the floor f125 extended into a10 but it appears that a10 goes deeper and f125 existed only outside of the structure. B11 2001-08-01_L816LR.j lR this is a small one room structure utilizing f96, f52, and f113 walls as its defining parameters. The room presumably extends north past the baulk and only a small portion is accessible. The room is entered by the doorway f70 in f52 wall and appears that the room is a vaulted structure since the width of the room at the base of f96, and f113 is 185 cm and at the top of the walls is 160cm showing a difference of 25cm between the top and base width of the room. The walls of f113 and f96 are also plastered and appear to continue down. We assumed we reached the floor at the same elevation as the floor in a8 f125 but after inspecting the surface it appears that only a small portion in the doorway is a floor while the rest of a10 continues as brickfall. B11 2001-08-18_L818LR.j lR Initially we found a series of holes in the same level along f52 and defined it as a drainage system. We assigned f66 to the drain hole running east to west along the north side of f52 based on a round hole along the west side of the wall and the one half brick layer form a ledge north of f52. f68 was assigned to the drain running north south that runs through f70. These features were assigned on L625 and after excavating the area it is evident that no drainage system exists and perhaps the holes that were found are caused by rodents or other small animals and mislabeled as drains.

In this area the tomb a16 cut all the way to the stones and placed the bodies i60 i54 on top of the stones. When all of the burial was removed including the bricks of f233 and f234 on the north side it revealed to have stones below them part of a12, but these stones are lower than the rest of the pavement. One stone seen through the burial cut is at the same level of the pavement and appears that the stones either slope down or are part of a stairway/step. Between the high stones and low stones is the packing f344 characterized by its blocky structure and reddish/purple color. This packing covers the eastern area around f206 cut and it is unclear whether the stones continue under the red packing. To the south it appears that the stones are in a line and may form a corner. In k202 the stone pavement comes to a sudden end. It is unclear whether the end was intentional or that the stones were removed at a later time. The end does not form a clear line to suggest any function. C1 2002-09-26_M926LR.j fAB Two small holes were found on the pavement- one stone that resemble post holes. They are f336 and f335 C1 2002-09-29_N303LR.j lR The stone pavement was cut by f189, which removed the stones and exposed a series of baked bricks underneath, a24. These bricks measure 30 x 30 centimeters and alternate from a pale yellow color to an orange color with cracks running through the bricks. These bricks are baked, hard, and arranged in rows. There are 8 rows of bricks visible with some damage in the northern and southern portion. C1 2002-10-05_MX05SB.j lR Today I began drawing the stone courtyard starting from the NE corner working towards the west then south. This project required the help of the surveyor bp who set up a grid in lower A16. Three points were surveyed r500 - r503, which are the frame for the grid. From these surveyed nails strings were measured in using a tape measure at two meter intervals. Five strings running North-South and five strings running East to West. The last interval in the south measures less than 2 meters and the last interval in the west measures 152 centimeters. Once the strings of the grid were in place I then placed a 1x1 meter metal grid with 20 centimeter increments inplace between the corners of the strung grid, directly ontop of the stone courtyard allowing a 20cm "boxes" to measures all lines of the stones. This method although tedious (one 2x2 meter square takes between 30min-1hour and total there are 22 squares) proved to be the most accurate for drawing the stones. One simply needs to stand directly overhead the grid and draw. The scale used for this drawing is 1:2 meaning one millimeter on the graph paper measures 2cm in real space. This scale was chosen since the detail of the stones was lost when a smaller scale was used. The use of the 1:2 scale requiered 8 sheets of graph paper taped together and the use of a large clipboard.

In k6 North section the accumulation from a2 is seen very nicely which forms a bowl. The gray from a13 pit underneath forms bands of lighter gray sloping West to East with the Western portion higher. Alternating layers of gray are seen, light gray, dark, light, dark forming a bowl shape towards the East. If this is a pit, then it is quite large for it must extend the same length to the East making the pit almost 10 meters in diameter. C1 2001-07-29_L728LR.j lR We met with gb today to discuss the phases, and he suggested that the fill we are excavating in k6,k5,and k2 is not a pit but large hollows created by depressions in the palace that conditioned the topography, which then was used as dumps. So they were not cut, but natural in a sense that they occurred naturally after the palace collapsed. These hollows provided a ground for dumping which was filled up with 5a material but in the lower end of the hallow we find strata 4 material underneath. This level may be the stratum to which the tannur f180 and the accumulation around it belong. fab mentioned that the tannur may be related to the tannur found in A12, which was on top of the palace wall. C1 2001-08-02_L815LR.j lr While excavating inside k108 we noticed a clear line forming a circular pattern, which we defined as the cut of the pit/hollow a13. This cut links all the material in former k2 and k6 (below a11 and a2) together since it all belongs to the same pit a13. A hard compact reddish-brown material that forms a massive accumulation measuring approximately 50cm in thickness marks this cut. The material inside the circle (the fill) peels away easily from the red material and also curves slightly in at the base. The fill inside the circle is gray-brown, softer and full of pottery and bones. While removing the fill of a13 we did encounter a layer of chunky hard clay. C1 2001-09-02_L903LR.j lR We are excavating a vertical section of this pit left in place since a2 conditioned a hump to form. This vertical section has been termed the "pillar" and we are excavating it in layers. C4 2001-09-02_L903LR.j lR we excavated the east baulk pillar by layers. The first feature is the interface between the accumulation from the phase 5b houses from a2 and a11 and the beginning of the pit a13. The first 30 cm contains a reddish compact layer with the brick foundations seen in the section. This layer serves as a seal between phase 5b and earlier Khabur material. The next layer contains soft ashy fill 83 cm in thickness. This material is darker than the rest of the material in the pillar and contains chunks of reddish pink clay, and flakes of charcoal a clear line between this feature and the one below is marked by a thin band of pottery. The next layer was removed which was called an interface layer between the ashy accumulation and the more compact light gray underneath. The remaining material was separated not by layers since it appears that the matrix is the same, but by 30cm increments to keep the pottery separate. We are using the pillar as a good documentation of the stratigraphy of the pit and keeping careful separation between each layer by ensuring that the area is cleaned and all pottery collected before proceeding to the next layer. The pillar was excavated by one person at a time using a ladder and a big pick. The person excavating the pillar was directed by someone below as to when the layer changed. The pillar was then scrapped and all the pottery collected with the khabur sherds separated.

In straightening the area we came down of f199, a tannur sitting on a white plaster floor. The tannur is large in diameter, 90cm and has a smooth surface on both the inside and out. All that remains of the tannur is the base and the gray fill inside which contains small pieces of burned bone, and kiln waste. The white plaster floor is located on the south and east of the tannur but does not appear to continue very far and looks cut by a pit.

B11 2001-08-31_L831LR.j MISSING jar burial in northeast area C1 2001-08-31_L831LR.j MISSING The soil around the burial jar i71 was cleaned using a brush and dental pick, which exposed the large vessel resting on its side with the top portion cracked and broken. To the west of the vessel were animal bones localized in one area and we assigned these bones a separate item number i79 due to their location as a whole group and not a mixed bone lot. Three small vessels i68, i69, i77 were found around the large jar, two carinated bowls and one small jar. These vessels along with the large jar were photographed in context. The large jar i71 rests on the red clay layer approximately 10 centimeters from the stone pavement. We continued to excavate the jar since it needed to be removed before the end of the day for reasons of security. Inside the jar i71 of a15 numerous items were found along with the body of a small child i78. The items includes two bronze bracelets i72 i73, 8 metal rings i74, 9 beads i75 (one lapis bead shaped like a duck, one circular lapis bead, one red bread carved like a pair of eyes with white paint, and the rest quartz crystal beads), a metal pin i76, and a metal head piece i70. C1 2001-08-31_L831LR.j MISSING Today while excavating k110 a small circular depression was noticed in the northeast corner next to the East baulk. The area was cleaned and revealed vertical bricks in a soft sandy matrix that we labeled as a pit, f217 possibly a burial. The sandy soil f236 was first removed along with the vertical bricks, which revealed large fragments of a ceramic vessel i71. We proceeded to remove the soil from the north portion since the depression was located immediately to the south of the already excavated k109 and only 5 cm needed to be removed facilitating the excavation of the burial. In the east section, a clear pit cut was seen with loose brown fill f236 and large pieces of bricks but it were uncertain whether it extended further south. The southern area was cleaned in order to find the extent of the burial and bricky material was found with a linear fissure running north to south. A small portion of this was excavated to see if this belonged with the burial. This area did not appear to be associated with the pit and we concentrated our efforts into excavating the jar burial, which we made into an aggregate, a15. C99 2001-08-31_L831LR.j MISSING the objects in the jar were not photographed, drawn in place, nor measured separately. Larger items were relayed but overall it is unclear where the objects were located in relation to the body. Some of this information can be reconstructed but overall more consideration should be placed when excavating burials allocating enough time to properly document the situation.

It is a reused tomb because in one corner was found a pile (not laid out) of bones. The tomb typology is not clear, because it seems to have a pit cut and then brick walls in the side. C1 2001-08-31_L831LR.j MISSING we continued to excavate the square tomb f206 and made a separate feature for the material around the bones i60, f223. The bones i60 are badly preserved and were found scattered throughout the western end of the tomb. The bones appear to be going under the tomb and we are uncertain if it is an earlier burial or whether the edge of the tomb was misidentified. One human body i54 was found lying above the stones in the western portion along with a very nice khabur carinated gray bowl i58. To the north and south inside the tomb, brick lines were identified and this could be an earlier tomb that f206 was built on top of or that two walls were built at the bottom of the grave and later widened at the top. C1 2002-09-19_N303LR.j lR Today we uncovered the remains of i60, part of a burial, which was left in place from last season due to lack of time and comprehension of the situation. The bones were covered up with nylon then back-filled to protect them from the elements. This season after reviewing the tomb f206 it became visible that the pit face extended further east and therefore we had not finished excavating the fill of the tomb. The bones i60 are localized in the Eastern end of the tomb and are in an extremely fragile condition making removal difficult. When brushed they turn into white powder and we have resorted to scooping up the bones with our trowels and placing them in a box. Last season they were also in a fragile condition but after being exposed for one year they have become even more brittle. They are mixed with animal bones and several jaw fragments were recovered indicating that this is a multi-burial believed to be a re-use since the bones are found in a pile (not laid out) concentrated towards the eastern side. The main burial was found in the west suggesting that someone at a later date re-used this tomb and simply moved the older bones to the side. These bones are on top of some stones and red packing material. C1 2002-09-22_-MX12-99.j fAB we continued to remove the last of this burial including the brick walls in the side. The bricks come down directly on top of the stones from the pavement.

The digging of the burial began on M908. It belongs to f277 in k207 which is the fill of the pit f276. The human body is in fetal position with the hands in front of the head. The orientation is towards the north. It belongs to an adult. Near the head we found a red jar i98, without any kind of decorations. It's broken but it's possible to restore since we found all the sherds. Near the feet another jar i97 was found, white in color carinated and with a ribbed decoration at the base of the rim. The aggregate was excavated by Ahmed and Diadin with the dental pick. During the excavation it seemed strange that there was no bowl and in fact today removing the bones a fragmentary part of a bowl emerged which presents traces of bitumen probably for repairing the bowl. In this occasion a pin was also found which was between the teeth of the skeleton. We presume this burial belong to phase 4. C1 2002-09-09_-MX12-99.j lR Yesterday we found the human remains 40cm below the bricks f276 redefining it as a burial instead of a pit. The skeleton was partially excavated which yielded two ceramic vessels. One vessel is in a poor state of conservation with many pottery sherds scattering the area. The burial was completely excavated this morning and was photographed and drawn.

The child was found with a pair of bronze earrings on the side of the head facing west. C1 2002-09-18_M917AP.j aP Yesterday while digging the fill of the presumed pot smash i114 and i115, we found that is was another burial labeled as a20. The pot smash belongs to a single jar as we can argue from the ware and from the thickness. Inside the jar we discovered a human body, belonging to a baby, of female sex (presence of earrings). The position is not fetal, the legs are open and the arms go down along the hips so it seems that the baby is sleeping. On the right and on the left ear lie small ring shaped bronze earrings. The bones, except for the skull are in a good state of preservation (we also found the metacarpals/fingers). Below the left foot, attached to the jar, are small salt crystals. The funerary set consisted of a pair of bronze earrings i124 and i137. No jars or bowls were found except for the jar in which the body was deposed i114. This burial may be associated with another burial that is emerging below this burial.

The bones break off at the slightest touch and there is some evidence of laminations around the body. The body faces Northeast exactly in the same position as a19 burial and a18. This is presumably the body of an adult based on the size of the bones and likely female. The body rests on the left side in fetal position, a very typical position encountered in A16. All of the burials recovered in A16 are in fetal position with the exception of the jar burials. The arms of i156 human body are bent at the elbow with the hands under the chin. Three ceramic vessels were found with the body. One next to the feet i222 (similar to a19) and two vessels next to the head, i139 complete jar, and i157 that was under i139. The ceramic vessel i139 is in wonderful condition but i157 a cooking vessel appears fragmented. The condition of i157 is noted as fragile since it is fragmented and cracking. C1 2002-09-23_-MX12-99.j lR yesterday the burial was fully articulated and exposed. During the afternoon it was removed and three metal objects were found. Two pins around the chest region were discovered likely for a garment, and a small metal disk under the skull (a possible hair ornament). Underneath i122 more bones were discovered and at first we thought it might belong to a small child but after exposing the bones it revealed to be the head of an animal complete with teeth, jaw, and some of the skull intact. The animal bones i163 were photographed then removed. The burial walls and cut were also removed today. C4 2002-09-22_N303LR.j lR We first removed i122 and i139 since we did not want to leave the ceramic vessels exposed over night. At the lab I removed the soil inside and made them into samples i146 and i147. The jar i122 was filled with soil containing some bone fragments but i139 only contained a dirt coating at the top and when removed exposed it hollow. gB suggested that it may have been filled with liquid which evaporated leaving only a coating of soil at the very top. The burial was articulated the next day using a dental pick, brush, spoon, and an air brush. It was then photographed by gG and drawn by fLP. The jars were cleaned and labeled then sent back to the field and set in place for photographs. The burial was removed in the afternoon and three more items were found while removing the bones. Two bronze pins i158, i159 were found on each shoulder with the ends pointed at each other and i160 located under the skull. The pins are likely used to hold a garment in place and i160 a metal rounded item may possibly be a hair ornament due the item's location by the head. The metals have been sent to the conservation laboratory. C99 2002-09-26_MX12FAB.j fAB it was thought that the bricks f297 would cover the body (i156) but instead the bricks were to the S.

The lower fill of this pit below the stones was extremely ashy, gray alternating in layers of gray ash, white ash, and brown ash. The fill was soft and moist filled with large fragments of pottery and yielded a number of items. The cut of this pit provides a wonderful window into the workings of the stone pavement and the possible drain below. Bricks are seen in the lower portion some vertically placed.

B11 2002-10-01_MX12FAB.j fAB f194 is visible due to the cut f189 in k108 and is the area with the most bricks exposed. f327 is in pit f216, which has the bricks only in section. In section one sees that the bricks are not present in the whole area, but are missing in the N portion of the pit section. f326 is seen in the pit f250 section, since this pit also cut a24. In the South the bricks are visible in two levels, separated by some packing material. The lower level slopes abruptly, and this slope does not seem to be due to subsidence following the ^pt cut. C1 2002-09-29_N303LR.j lR The stone pavement was cut by f189, which removed the stones and exposed a series of baked bricks underneath. These bricks measure 30 x 30 centimeters and alternate from a pale yellow color to an orange color with cracks running through the bricks. These bricks are baked, hard, and arranged in rows. There are 8 rows of bricks visible with some damage in the northern and southern portion. The first row to the north has 3 bricks visible with the northern edges cut or eroded away. The first brick goes under the stones but the third brick to the east appear to end does not continue under the stones. In this area the bricks are immediately below the stones with a thin layer of packing material and it appears that the bricks do not continue further north. In the south the packing material increases appearing that the bricks slope down. The first 4 rows of bricks have some kind of eroded areas but the next two rows south are complete and in good condition. There are 9 bricks in each row with no clear pattern. The bricks are in line but not evenly spaced or symmetrically placed, there is also no order to the color purely arbitrary whether the orange or yellow brick was used. The last three rows in the south appear to make a sudden slope upwards with one brick row placed at a sharp slant then the next row flat. The last row contains only 2 complete bricks in view, there is however either brick mortar or the shape the packing material retained from the bricks showing traces of lines and a flat surfaces almost like a brick. When this area was poked and scraped it revealed nothing below. This may be the impression of the bricks that were removed. The rest of the southern area has traces of disintegrated bricky material but appears that the brick pavement also ends in the south. C3 2002-09-29_N303LR.j lR There are several arguments for the eroded areas; one that the bricks were cut by the pit a13 that left gaps of disintegrated bricks, or two that the presence of water seeped in through the cracks and eroded small areas. One eroded area measures 40 x 10 cm linear in shape running north to south across 3 rows of bricks. There is a small circular hole in one of the northern stones that may have funneled water causing the eroded bricks. It is unclear whether this circular hole is natural or man made but was in place when the stone pavement was in use and therefore inadvertently caused water to funnel through this hole and settle on the baked bricks possibly eroding them over time.

If a24 is an earlier phase of a12, a24 was built before it, belonging to phase 1 of the palace M1 2002-09-26_MX12FAB.j fAB (first part) There are two possibilities that explain the presence of the baked bricks below the stone pavement a24: a drainage system or an earlier pavement. The drainage system possibility envisions the baked bricks as the 'roof' of a water-collecting basin, which would hold the water from the toilets and drains of the palace. This possibility explains the drain that drains into (or drains into something under the courtyard) the courtyard through the doorway to the south (the only doorway we have to date that leads into the courtyard). It also explains the fact that the bricks slope in ^pt f250 (f326): these bricks could be the cover of an overflow drain, which exits along the portion of the courtyard wall that is exposed to the outside (S wall, SW corner of courtyard). This is an odd architectural quirk: courtyards are normally surrounded by walls with rooms behind them, but in this case we have a piece of a courtyard wall, which has the outside of the palace behind it, and therefore no roof. The explanation of a run-off drain gives a possible reason for this phenomenon, and explains also the dip in the stones from the center of the courtyard towards this outer wall. The last fact that the drainage system theory explains is the uneven surface of the ^pv in f194 and the fact that it is not present in all spots under the stone ^pv (f194 and f327) and when not present it abuts packing. In f326 there is also packing present above the baked bricks and below the stones, not an ^a. M1 2002-09-26_MX12FAB.j fAB (second part) The arguments against the drainage system are that we have not found greenish material in the bottom of the pits that cut the bricks (typical of sewage use; however, we have not found the bottom of the fill below the bricks so it may still be below); also, how would a drainage system support the weight of such a massive structure (the stone pavement)? The fill below the bricks is not the silty fill one would expect in a closed drainage system, but rather is chunky and has some stones. How can we resolve, next season, the question of the function of this brick structure? First, continue digging below the pits into the construction stratum of the palace to see if there is evidence of sewer material. Second, dig along the W wall where there are no stones. Third, look on the outside of the wall that in the SW to see if there is evidence of a drain outlet (there does not seem to be, but it could just be a hole that is clogged, or it could be below the floor we have now). Finally, dig the rest of the courtyard to see if there are more drains that empty below the courtyard and pits that cut the stone pavement. These notes reflect a growing understanding of the situation as discussed over these last weeks by aFB gB and lR.

B11 2002-12-01_-MX12-99.j lR Pit that cut through the stone pavement a12 with a burial inside containing the remains of i175. This pit was partially excavated three years ago by A13 but was terminated due to the lack of time and the realization that there was a burial inside. A13 partially exposed the skull and chest region then covered it back up. It is still unclear whether this pit was created for the burial or whether it was first a pit then re-cut into a burial since the body seems tucked too far to the north for the whole pit to be a burial. The body also appears secondarily fired given that the bones are a darker color and very hard. Usually the skeletons uncovered are brittle and white, these bones are hard and solid much like cooked animal bones. The pit fill f343 is all ash with chunks of charcoal found around the body. It is possible that either the body was filled with soil then later secondarily fired from the top, or that during burial it was fired. We removed the bones after photographing them and will leave the situation as it is until next season when we have more time to excavate this fill and understand better the situation. No items were found with the burial except for several pottery sherds that are part of the fill. One sherd was lodged around the left femur, a carinated green colored rim sherd. This sherd can be found in the pottery q-lot and is seen in the drawing and photograph. C1 2002-10-01_MX12FAB.j fAB We had left this pit as one of the last things to clean out, and did not realize that it still contained a burial. Diadin cleaned the bones for photo while the rest of the unit was cleaned for final photos. C99 2002-10-01_MX12FAB.j fAB Probably not dug as a burial shaft, due to the fact that it is round (tomb shafts in the area are either small and somewhat oval or rectangular) and the body had little or nothing in the way of offerings. Body was also not in the center of the tomb, but rather laid along the northern edge. Covered with ash, also an indication that it was not intended as a tomb. LR noticed that the bones seemed secondarily fired, possibly in the pit.

Cloth was placed on top of the bones then plastic and covered with soil to protect the bones. When uncovered this year, some damage occurred over the years. The cloth had dissolved and attached to some of the skull creating black splotches. The skull became more brittle and cracked. Evidence of water seepage was seen by the chin which contained laminations. Better methods for preserving exposed bones must be employed. Likely the best technique is to cover the bones only with soil avoiding plastic and cloth.

These two holes do not seem to be part of a door socket since the inside is not worn smooth by the turning of a post, but is lightly ridged by the tool that cut the holes. Holes come to a point at base. Probably not part of a roofing structure since we assume that the wall to the N would be at some distance, too far for a sheltering roof; this will be seen in later seasons when we excavate to the N.
