A9006	Canceled; combined with A9004.

A9007	Str. XA

	Tabun built on surface A9005. The tabun was constructed of 
	coils of clay, three layers thick at its final use, with 
	ceramic material used to strengthen the construction, finally 
	covered near its mouth with lime plaster. The tabun was 
	constructed on top of a circle of small cobble and pebble-sized 
	stones and tilted down to the east. A small opening in the 
	southeast side of the tabun probably served as a source of air 
	and as an entrance for additional fuel. Cooking was probably 
	done on top of the tabun; support for this interpretation may be 
	seen in the discovery of part of a large cooking platter north of 
	the tabun in ashes between walls A9010 and A9011.

	The tabun was also built against the eastern face of wall 
	A9011 and against the southeastern corner of wall A9010, 
	effectively blocking any passage through the doorway between 
	these walls in this phase of their use. The ash within the 
	tabun contained broken pottery, bone, flint and one lithic 
	pounder or grinder. The thickness of the body of the tabun
	(3 layers) suggests a series of rebuilds and strengthenings.

	The tabun is located between 70 cm. and 1.57 m. from the North 
	balk and between 85 cm. and 1.75 m. from the West balk at top 
	levels 484.52 m., 484.49 m. below A9008 to founding level 484.01 m. 
	above A9005.

	Base for platform A9002, consisting of cobble-sized 
	stones and debris placed down to level low areas for 
	construction of A9002 above. This locus is 60-75% cobbles 
	mixed with ash and some pottery, bone, and chert. Located 
	5.0 m. from the North balk and 2.0 m. from the West balk 
	at top levels 484.64 m., 484.17 m. below A9004 to 484.21 m., 
	483.97 m. above surface A9005, tabun A9007, ash A9009, 
	wall A9011, surface A9016. This locus was also cut by A9003. 
	Same as 9014.

	Wall along North balk of area, cornering at its eastern and western 
	ends to join a wall in area B9. Constructed of two rows of boulder 
	sized fieldstones with a rubble core (94 cm. wide) and three to four 
	courses high (75 cm.) This wall was laid with mortar. Located between 
	ca. 3.10 m. and 5.0 m. from the South balk, between 4.0 m. and 4.7 
	m. from the South balk (at the East Balk line), and between 
	58 cm. and 4.50 m. from the West balk at top levels 484.61 m. (W), 
	484.26 m. (E) below A9001 and A9002 to founding levels 483.77 m. (E), 
	483.69 m. (c), 483.82 m. (W) above debris A9029. Surfaces B9017, B9014, 
	B9010 ran to the northern face of wall A9010. And a threshold 
	lay at the western end of this wall, leading into a room to 
	the north. Surfaces A9005 and A9012 run to its southern face; tabun 
	A9007 was built against its southwest corner; tabun A9013 (in an earlier 
	phase) was built against its southern face in the NE corner of the area.  
	Wall B9020 abuts wall A9010. Wall A9010 abutted wall B9021 
	from the west (in an earlier phase).

A9011	Str. XABCD

	Wall along West balk of area, joining wall A9017 in Area 9. In Area 
	A9 the wall was constructed of two rows of boulder sized field­ stones 
	with a rubble core, preserved from one to four courses high. The wall 
	served as sockle for upper bricks and appeared itself to have been laid 
	with mortar. This wall has gone through several phases of use and 
	possibly some rebuilding. In the A9/9 balk the wall was widened in its 
	final phase by the addition of some stones capped by bricks; the function 
	of this addition to the wall was to narrow the entrance through the wall 
	via steps 9020. This wall forms the eastern limit of a large room found 
	in Areas 9, 10, A9 and Al0; it is also the western limit of a courtyard 
	found in Areas 9 and A9.

	Located 5.0 m. from the North balk, 65 cm. from the West balk (at the 
	North balk line) and between 1.14 m. and 1.91 m. from the West balk 
	(at the South balk line.) At top levels 484.91 m. (N), 484.37 m. (c), 
	484.19 m. (S) below A9003 and A9008 to founding levels to founding levels 
	483.81 m. (N), 483.68 m. (C) and 483.66 m. (S) above debris A9056. 

	Wall A9014 abutts wall A9011 from the west; surfaces A9005 and A9012 
	run to this wall from the west. Surface A9016 runs to its western face. 
	Tabun A9007 was built against its western face. Lower phase wall A9017 
	also abuts this wall from the west. Sump A9031 was built against the 
	east face of wall A9011. The continuation of wall A9011 in the A9/B9 
	balk was excavated as B9022. Wall A10018 abuts wall A9011 from 
	the west. Wall A9011 was at least 9.4 m. long.

	In the lowest course of wall A9011 immediately South of its juncture 
	with wall A9052 there was apparently a threshold and doorway (A9051) 
	which had been blocked by the construction of the upper two courses 
	of the wall. Mudbrick mortar was used in the construction of the wall 
	with a concentration of the mortar in the northern end of the wall at 
	the intersection with wall A9052/A10018. Between 1.0 m. 
	and 2.0 m. from the South balk only the lower course of wall A9011 
	survived, the upper 2 courses perhaps having been robbed out by pit 
	A9003. Wall A9011 was offset slightly toward the East just south of 
	the juncture with wall A9052/A10018. Wall A9017 was clearly bonded 
	into wall A9011 from the East.

	Open courtyard surface of beaten earth, lightly compacted with areas of 
	high compaction. The surface is patchy, covered with ash in the northeast 
	corner and with broken pottery. The surface incorporated the top of a lower 
	phase wall A9017 as part of the walking area. Located 3.7 m. from the East 
	balk, between 23 cm. and 3.93 m. from the North balk at top levels 483.87 m., 
	484.01 m. below A9005.1 and above A9012.1.

	This surface runs to walls A9010, A9011, A9014 and to tabun A9013. It also 
	uses the top of wall A9017 as part of this surface. The surface was cut by 
	a shallow pit between 1.2 m. and 1.4 m. from the East balk and between 1.45 m. 
	and 1.68 m. from the North balk.

	Tabun located in Northeast corner of the Area against walls B9021 and 
	A9010, constructed of flat coils of clay, four layers thick 
	(evidence of strengthening and rebuild.) Set against its southern 
	face is a boulder-sized stone, probably as a heat reflector. 
	Preserved to a height of 27 cm., a width of 67 cm. along the East 
	balk. Located between 10 cm. and 77 cm. from the North balk and between 
	3.70 m. and 4.35 m. from the West balk at top levels 484.06 m. (N), 
	483.93 m. (S) below A9001 and A9005.1 to 483.83 m. inside. Surface A9012 
	runs to this tabun; it was constructed against the southern face of wall 
	A9010.

	This tabun, constructed on surface A9012, was set in the corner of 
	two walls A9010 and B9021, in order to provide heat reflection. But 
	in addition a low row of stones was set around its exposed southern 
	side, again for additional heat reflection.

	Debris and pottery from within the tabun have been included here; 
	this debris includes a fragment of a broken quern and a stone 
	pounder/grinder.

	Wall along and in the South balk of the area. Constructed 
	of two rows of boulder-sized field stones with a rubble core. 
	The wall was apparently dry laid, preserved to a height of 49 cm., 
	2.15 m. long, 65 cm. wide. Located between 3.37 m. and 4.65 m. 
	from the North balk and 2.1 m. from the East bath at top levels
	483.96 m. (E), 484.33 m. (W) below A9001 and A9005.1 to founding

	9017; surface A9012 runs to its lower course, surface A9005 to its 
	upper course and over its lower course. Surface 9018 also runs 
	to wall A9014.

	Appears to be a rebuild of an earlier wall A9017.

A9015	Str. XAB

	Installation of a probable grain-grinding stone or mortar and its 
	base stone cut to fit the upper grinding stone or mortar. This 
	installation was found at the surface level of A9016, surrounded by 
	a cooking pot to the west and at least one small storage to the 
	north, all of the LB period. On the same surface 9021 in Area 9 were 
	found restoreable cooking pot, platter, bowl and other vessels.
		
	The upper stone (grinding stone or mortar) is triangular in shape 	
	(35 cm. (W), 42 cm. (N), 36 cm. (SE)) with a rounded, conical depression	
	drilled through it. The under side has also been deliberately chipped
	in order to form the hole through the stone. This upper stone is
	13 cm. thick and sets on a large flint core which has been cut to
	hold the upper stone in place, presumably while grinding in it. An
	opening between the stones on the south would have allowed the finely
	ground material (flour?) to drop through and be scooped into the
	waiting vessel.
		
	The installation was located inside the entrance to this domestic	
	building, beside a low bench of stones which had been added to the
	western face of wall L.A9011 and had been additionally covered with
	clay mortar-or brick. The base stone sat on a lower surface 9027
	and came to the top of surface A9016/9021; the upper stone with the
	bored hole sat at an elevation slightly higher than surface A9016/9021.
		
	It is likely, therefore, that the installation was used through two
	phases of the occupation of this house; after a minor destruction on
	surface 9027, resurfacing 9021/A9016 was put to the top of the base
	stone of the installation.
		
	Located between 4.72 m. and 5.09 m. from the North balk and between
	25 cm. and 74 cm. from the West balk at top level 484.18 m. below 
	9019, 10045, and A9008 to 483.84 m. (seen in I.9 North section) 
	above surface 9027.

	A round grinding stone of chert was found beside the Installation; 
	presumably the installation is for the grinding/processing of food. 
	Located just inside the entrance through Wall 9017, beside deep 
	basin in Surface 10042, surrounded by store jars and cooking pots. 

	A flotation sample of the debris within the cup depression in the top 
	stone of the installation was taken with the following results: 

		MC 8328--charcoal, no identifiable plant remains,

	Cobblestone installation in the corner of walls A9O17 and 
	A9011. The installation appears to have been a sump. Located 
	between 1.37 m. and 2.65 m. from the East balk and between 38 
	cm. and 1.95 m. from the South balk at top levels 483.80 (the 
	outermost stones) and 483.52 (the inner stones) below debris A9021 to 
	bottom level 482.10 m. above wall A9099.

	The sump was filled with large cobblestones (10-20 cm. wide) with small 
	boulder sized stones (25-45 cm. wide) around the outside edges. The 
	stones were brittle and fractured easily, possibly indi­cating continued 
	exposure to moisture. Roughly circular in shape and approximately 1.30 m. 
	in diameter at the top decreasing to approximately 90 cm. at the bottom.  

	Pottery basket 265 taken from the lowest levels of sump A9031 contained 
	LB as well as EBII shards. Sump A9031 cuts through wall A9099, fill 
	A9073, into wall A9079 and appears to have cut through surface A9041 
	on the East side. Used with walls A9011, A9017 and surface A9019. 
	Debris A9074 is contained against its north side; debris A9073 on south side.   

	For the lowest reach of this sump see Photographs: 1120, 1125, 1127,

	Fill debris across the entire area, consisting of relatively 
	sterile granular reddish brown soil with ash laminations and 
	some mudbrick detritus, as well as randomly distributed localized 
	compactions, and some inclu­sions of cobble to boulder sized 
	field stones. This fill extends through the A9/B9 balk into area 
	B9 (as B9023), as well as into the A9/9 balk. 

	In area A9 located 5.0 m. from the South balk and 5.0 m. from the 
	East balk excepting the area of sump A9031.  

	At top levels 483.60 m. (NW), 483.31 m. (NE), 483.39 m. (WC), 483.34 
	m. (EC), and 483.80 m. (SW) below fill A9029, debris makeup A9019.1, 
	debris makeup A9051.1, debris makeup A9016.1, debris A9038, ash A9055, 
	debris A9056, surface A9042, pit A9022, and pit A9058 to bottom levels 
	482.96 m. (NW), 482.91 m. (NE), 482.76 m. (WC), 482.68 m. (EC), 482.75 
	m. (SE) and 482.30 m. (SC) and 483.50 m. (SW) above debris A9067, walls 
	A9080, A9090, A9092, A9081, A9079, and A9138, debris A9074, collapse 
	A9093, rockfall A9114, rockfall A9116, and surfaces A9091, A9098, 
	A9118, and A9141.

	This locus is part of the same filling operation as the debris above 
	surface A9041. The preparation for the stratum X building involved 
	the filling of a large open area in Area A9, the result of Area A9 
	having been (probably) a drain in Strata 12 and 13. Sump A9031 cut 
	through this fill. Fill A9073 runs to the South side of sump A9060. 
	On the South it is contained by wall A9092 and, in part, A9090. It 
	is contained on the North by wall A9081 and on the West by wall A9082. 

	Includes A9049, A9050, A9056, A9059, A9059.P, A9059.1, A9061, A9062, 
	A9066, A9069, A9070, A9071, A9073 and A9083, which have been canceled.

	At top levels 482.96 m. (NW), 482.91 m. (NE), 482.76 m. (SW) and 
	482.68 m. (SE) below debris fill A9073 to bottom levels 482.08 m. 
	(NW), 482.29 m. (NE), 482.02 m. (SW) and 482.31 m. (SE) above 
	mudbrick collapse A9088. This fill should perhaps be included with 
	destruction debris A9088. However, A9088 contains significant­ly 
	greater quantities of mud brick detritus. Locus A9074 appears to 
	be destruction debris and wall collapse onto and into debris A9088. 
	Contained on the North by Wall A9081, on the West by wall A9082 
	and on the South by wall A9079, wall A9080 and sump A9060.

	A large wall extending into the area from the East balk and 
	running toward the Southwest. Located between 1.20 m. and 1.87 
	m. from the South balk (at the East balk line) and between 55 
	cm. and 1.32 m. from the South balk (at 1.50 m. from the East 
	balk) and between 2.08 m. and 4.52 m. from the West balk . 

	At top levels 482.95 m. (E), 482.84 m. (C) and 482.80 m. (W) 
	below debris A9073 to founding levels 482.54 m. (E), 482.51 m. 
	(C) and 482.50 m. (W) above surface A9091, debris A9094.

	It is two rows wide, and 2 courses high on the east end (to about 
	60 cm. from the East balk) and 1 course high on the West end. 
	It is 1.92 m. long, 80 cm. wide and preserved to a height of 40 
	cm. on the East and 30 cm. on the  West. It is constructed of 
	untreated boulder sized fieldstone laid with mortar. There is no 
	evidence of a foundation trench, but debris A9094 seems to have 
	been laid down as a foundation beneath a part of the wall.  

	One of the stones used in constructing the wall contained a series of 
	abrasion marks suggesting that it had been used as a sharpening tool.    

	Wall A9080 was built on surface A9091 along the east; hence, Surface 
	A9091 was used with wall A9080. Wall A9080 was constructed as a 
	buttress to already existing wall A9090. Debris A9074 and destruction 
	debris A9088 were contained against its north side. Wall A9090 is 
	adjacent to and parallel to A9080 on the south.

	Wall running along and in the West balk in the Northern half 
	of the area extending through the North balk into B9 (where it 
	is designated B9036). In area A9 located between 2.12 m. and 
	5.00 m. from the South balk and 75 cm. from the West balk at the 
	North balk line) and 40 cm. from the West balk (at 1.25 m. from 
	the North balk). 

	At top levels 483.47 m. (S), 483.35 m. (C), 483.14 m. (N) below 
	debris A9073. The preserved length in A9 including the A9/B9 balk 
	is 2.88 m. It is 70 cm. wide with an exposed height of 1.55 m. 
	at the South end and 75 cm. at the North end. For a fuller 
	description see the locus summary report for B9036.

	Surfaces A9087, A9091, A9105 and A9108 run to the East face of Wall 
	A9082. South of the corner with wall A9081 which abuts wall A9082 
	from the East, the uppermost course is recessed one row creating 
	a bench over which wall A9081 laps. This effect appears to be the 
	result of rebuilding in wall A9082, possibly in preparation for the 
	erection of the uppermost phase of wall A9081. Debris A9074 and 
	destruction debris A9088 is contained against the east face of wall 
	A9082. 

	Includes A9086 which has been canceled.

	balk line and 25 cm. from the West balk at 1.95 m. from the North 
	balk. At top levels 483.47 m. (S), 483.35 m. (C) and 483.14 m. (N) 
	below debris fill B9072 to founding level 482.67 m. above wall 
	A9082B.  

	This upper rebuild of wall A9082 was 2 to 3 courses high 
	(approximately 48 cm.) and founded in a heavy mortar which 
	provides clear evidence that the uppermost courses were a 
	later addition or rebuild. The top course is 2 rows wide 
	(approximately 43cm.). 

	Wall A9082 apparently underwent at least three rebuild phases 
	of which this is the final. The average height of the 
	preserved portion of this rebuild is 48 cm.

	Wall A9082A is abutted by wall A9081 in the North balk.

A9089	Str. pre XI

	Reddish-brown mudbricky foundation material for wall A9084. 
	Located between 4.10 m. and 5.0 m. from the South balk and 
	between 1.07 m. and 1.72 m. from the East balk. At top levels 
	482.99 m. (N) and 483.08 m. (S) below wall A9084 to bottom levels 
	482.88 m. (N) and 482.86 m. (S) above surface A9087. Slopes 
	slightly to the North. The nearly sterile matrix is highly 
	compacted, containing a few random cobbles and and small 
	quantities of pottery, flint, bone and shell. 

	This foundation material was placed directly on surface A9087, 
	thus the construction of wall A9084/B9025 and its associated 
	foundation material radically altered the space within the walls 
	of the pre-existing room while continuing to utilize surface 
	A9087/B9029.

A9090	Str. XIIABC

	Wall in the Southeast corner of the area. Located between 2.48 m. 
	and 5 m. from the West balk and between 30 cm. and 1.0 m. from the 
	South balk (at the East balk line) and 57 cm. from the South balk 
	(at 1.25 m. from the East balk). At top levels 482.75 m. (E) and 
	482.70 m. below debris A9073, pit A9076, and fill A9073 to founding 
	levels 482.23 m. (E) and 482.33 m. (W) above debris A9107.

	Wall A9090 is 2 rows wide and 4 courses high, constructed of dry laid 
	large cobble and small boulder sized fieldstone. The lower courses 
	are on a slightly different alignment from the top course suggesting 
	a repair or rebuild. The upper phase is preserved only by 1 course 
	in the West end and 3 courses on the East end where it fills a 50 cm. 
	gap between the East end of the lower phase and the East balk. It is 
	possible that the upper courses on the East end have filled in a 
	doorway associated with the lower phase of the wall.

	Surfaces A9091 and A9100, and debris A9091.1 and A9100.1 run to the 
	North face of Wall A9090. Wall A9080 was built against the north face 
	of wall A9090.

A9091	Str. XIIAB

	Surface of beaten earth bounded by walls A9081, A9079, A9082 and 
	A9090. Located between 70 cm. and 5 m. from the West balk and 
	between 90 cm. and 3.12 m. from the North balk (at the East balk 
	line) and 2.55 m. from the North balk (at 2.75 m. from the East balk.)

	At top levels 481.94 m. (NW), 481.86 m. (SW), 482.08 m. (C), 482.18 m. 
	(NE), 482.23 m. (East Center) and 482.34 m. (SE) below wall A9080, 
	foundation material A9084, debris A9088, fill A9073, and rockfall 
	A9114 and above surface debris A9091.1. Through­out most of the area 
	the surface is fairly even. However, in the area immediately East of 
	A9082 (an area of 60 cm. to 75 cm.) it is quite patchy. It slopes to 
	the North and West.  

	Surface A9091 runs to walls A9081, A9082A, A9079 and A9090. Wall 
	A9080 was built directly on surface A9091, hence was used with surface 
	A9091. Rockfall A9114 is on surface A9091.It is cut on the South by 
	sump A9031. A small depression (bin A9102) was cut in surface A9091 
	adjacent to wall A9081. A quantity of restorable and mendable pottery, 
	including a large vat, was found smashed on this surface adjacent to 
	wall A9090.

	Bin in surface A9091. Located between 1.92 m. and 2.20 m. 
	from the East balk and between 45 cm. and  70 cm. from the 
	North balk. A build-up of mudbricky material at the top of 
	the depression extends the dimensions of the depression to 
	between 1.82 m.  and 2.30 m. from the East balk and between 
	35 cm. and 83 cm. from the North balk. At top levels 482.09 
	m. (build-up around the hole) and 482.07 m. below debris A9088 
	to a founding level of 481.56 m. below a large flat stone. 
	The hole was shaped with mudbrick material at the top, which 
	slopped over on the inside. At the bottom of the depression is 
	a flat stone. 

	Depression A9102 was constructed with the creation of surface 
	A9091 and cuts surfaces A9100 and A9103 and into debris A9110. 
	The build-up at the top and the flat stone at the bottom suggest 
	that the hole was dug to hold a large vessel.

	Patchy surface of beaten earth located between 1.10 m. and

	balk. At top level 481.84 m. below debris A9100.1 and above 
	debris makeup A9103.1. Cut by bin A9102. Probably because of 
	exposure and erosion, clear connections to walls in the area were 
	difficult to establish. However, surface A9103 ran to wall A9082C 
	and most likely also to walls A9117, A9129. Surface/installation 
	A9119 was probably used with surface A9103.

A9110	Str. pre XIIC

	Fill located 4.0 m. from the South balk and 3.70 m. from the 
	East balk. It is limited by wall A9082C on the West and by walls 
	A9117 and A9129 on the South. 

	At top level 481.85 m. below surface debris A9100.1, A9103.1, and 
	A9119.1 to bottom levels 481.75 m. (C), 481.51 m. (E) above surface 
	A9122, drain A9127 and rockfall A9136. 

	Contains gray to brown clay and ash with some inclusion of pebbles. 
	This debris consists of a sequence of laminations of clay and ash. 
	These laminations tend to lens into one another and for the most part 
	could not be traced as surfaces over a significant area. Surface A9103 
	could be traced over a greater area, and probably represents a final 
	phase re-surfacing of the area.

	It appears that this debris may have been deposited over an extended 
	period of time, resulting from the use of this area during the period 
	of Stratum XIII as an open drainage channel or passageway for the buildings 
	and street upslope.   

	Now includes A9133 which has been canceled.
