2006 ==>

This unit excavated in 2005( last year). This year we are going on to dig the unit. Soil contains burnt mud brick pieces and its colour is brown and dark orange.

This unit is in a construction which we can say it is a building. This building ( area or space) was named as space 252 last year. This year we understood that the building has several spaces. So we gave each space different space numbers. This units number ( sp 252 ) will be sp 289 until now.

Soil of this unit was going on same. Then we found a white plaster looks like a floor, on the south part of the unit. We followed the white plaster and exposed the floor.On the south part of the unit there is a treshold and next to it,there is a bin(?).Its soil is soft then around.
On the north part of the unit there are some kerpiç blockswith their plasters.They can be a bench but they also can be fallen kerpiç blocks.
