Today’s work was concentrated out of the building 98 i.e. north space/room attached to it. Therefore a wall (U. 17281) next to the ’threshold/doorway’ was necessary to be removed. As it was just a small remain of the wall it did not take so much time for its excavations. The two phases were visible so we decided to define lower level as U. 17282. Considering its small size there were not some more specific finds except those which are common as insertion in West Mound buildings (pottery, bones, stone, obsidian). After reaching the bottom of this small wall remains there were not some visible traces that relate the wall with floor. The only indicative feature was an interior flat line visible in the section and bottom probably suggesting the earlier outline of the wall before being replastered.
After the lunch I started with removal of a wall (U. 17269) behind northern buttress, and soon after I realized that there was a small are which connects the plaster wall and later floor. Therefore samples and working photos were taken as this important information do confirm the presence of later floored room/building next to B. 98. This was just small excavated area of a larger wall, so tomorrow remains much more to be removed. So far the material from today excavated walls in area 446 is Chalcolithic and is related with the one from building 98. |
