Entry: I started working on south area at B.97. I started digging on platform F.3457 in NE on sp. 365 of the building. My aim on digging this platform is that this building has more than one layer, because it was fixed more than one time. So I can reach the earliest phase of the building, and after that I can find the connection with the basin floor and with the near platform F.3454. The earliest level we will find on the basin floor is the one that is dirty floor and it will be useful for usto find the connection between the storage rom and the building. Through these aims, at first I removed the plaster surface on the platform.
The grave cut found last year in the middle of the platform, is helping me watch the fixing process of the platform. After removing the plaster surface on the platform, I started removing the make-up layer (19693) on the platform. After that ı realized that the bench on east side of the platform belongs only these surfaces. At first I thought that, this bench might go until the earliest level of the platform.
After digging the layers both thelittle collapse in the middle of the platform and the colour change of the plastered surface made me think that there is one more grave next to the one digged in last year. With digging these layers, I saw that there is no connection between the near platform and between the central floor.

Keep digging MAKE-UP :))))))
