We are starting excavation centering in the southwest corner. Parts of the northern and eastern facings seem to have eroded away, and the area of excavation has been stepped in from both of those edges approx. 1 meter for safety concerns. thus this seasons excavation will not include those areas. Regarding methodology we are remkoving approx. 1 course of mudbrick at a time desceneding, taking off strips beginning in the south and heading towards the north. this was done also for safety concerns working from the most stable areas and pulling the material from the potentially less stable areas back. Because of the slope of the rampart this means that we expect tower fill to appear at higher levels here, which will allow us to shrink the size of the excavation area as we go foward and expose the foundational fill. Today the first strip of mudbrick was successfully removed, alothough slope is still and issue due tothe early probe conducted during prior excavation on the eastern end. This will be corrected tomorrow by removing an additional course from the northern end. Limited potery was found in excavation. JTW 23/6/08 Today additional mudbrick was removed from the tower, and aditional course on the western side to level with the depth in the east, a well as an additional cut in the north as yesterday only the southern side was excavated. At this point an 1-2 coursees have been removed across the entire area of excavation this season, a total of 2 courses total. At this point the bricks peel easily away from one another, are very eroded and clumpy of poor consistency. Their color is varied light tan to darker brown and they contain many chalky inclusions. The bricks which can be delineated measure 45x30x10cm. The bricks are of medium hardness. In the southeast we began to hit a new layer of preconstructional fill, probably a foundation level. This layer consists of sandy earth and soft dark vrown soil fill mixed with kirkar chunks. At first it appeared to be sterile but after the first few centimeters pottery ws found. The material seems to be earlier, mostly MB/LB. This layer should be set on top of the earlier rampart as part of the tower's foundation.This is the layer which we will try to uncover in the rest of the excavation area. Most of the pottery found comes out of this foundational layer and thus the earlier sherds should not be used for the dating of the material coming out of the bricks. 24/6/08 Pottery continues to be minimal Today we finished taking off the third course in much of the square, finishing exposing the foundational layer (unit 10) under 2 rows of mudbrick in the southern end. The mudbrick continues to descend in the northern portion of the square. The bricks are still of a predominantly dark brown compostion with the occasional grey or tan brick, all with many chalky inclusions. The mudbrick on the east side of the tower is very soft and sticky and easy to cut through, whereas the mudbrick on the the western side is extrememly hard and only excavated with great effort. This may be due to runoff patterns of water which have caused the different areas to weather differently. 26/6/08 Today we finish excavating the third course. Another layer of foundational fill began to appear another row to the south. The brick continues to be ill defined but peels nicely when excavated. the brick continues to be harder in the west and softer in the east, leading to some irregularities in levelness which will be corrected next week. More pottery was found, almost all of it from within the bricks because there was less foundational material excavated. 29/6/08 Today we finished removing the 3rd course and began on the fifth course. Very little pottery was excavated, although we continue to fin another row of the foundational fill. Most of the excavation took place in the western end of the area and thus were harder and more difficult to pick through. 30/6/08 Today we finished excavating the fourth course and began the fifth, below the fifth course the top of the sixth course includes some very well defined bricks, which also measure 45x30x10cm. these are more tan than dark brown with grey/black mortar line approx 2cm thick. Very little pottery was found, the east continues to be very soft and sticky, the west continues to be very hard and compacted. 1/7/08 today we excavated a further 2 courses from the northern edge of the tower. It was expected to continue to shrink as more foundation levels were discovered gradually descending with the slope of the rampart, but this was not the case. There was still no sign of further foundational material. This was later checked against section drawings and photographs which reveal that the foundational material was laid in 2 sets, the first served the northern rows of the tower, and was laid flat about 10-12 courses down, the second was laid along the slope serving the southern rows, and ths is what had up until this point been unocvered. As we go lower there are more and more tan bricks, as opposed to the favoring of dark brown bricks in the upper courses. There is very little pottery found in these lower courses. The material still differs greatly east to west, the east being soft and sticky and the west being hardened like concrete. 2/7/08 today we completed the excavation of courses 8-10 finishing the removal of the hardened bricks on the western side. after this we removed the next two courses, and still not discovering the foundational fill decided to set a probe to find it. The fill was found an additional 2 courses down (a total of 13-14 courses), Thus the mudbrick layers are approx 2m in depth for this front section of the tower. 3-7 today the final courses were excavated down to the foundational fill in the western portion of the square. After cleaning the section slightly 14 courses of mudbrick were counted from bottom to top. The foundational fill consists of sandy fill mixed with small chunks of kurkar for the most part, although there are also some clays mixed in. in the south of the excavated area (bordered by the foundational fill for the southern part of the tower), a row of stones was found in section along the bottom beneath the fill. Judgin by the height and make it appears that these belong to the MB rampart, making the foundational fill at this point approx. 1.5m high. 4-7 today the remainder of the bricks in the tower were removed (the 112-14th courses on the eastern side). very little pottery was found. the fill beneath was consistent with what was found on the western side during yesterdays excavations. At this point all of the excavation that was planned for the tower has been done. Portions still remain unexcavated on the northern and eastern edges, however these will remain untouched for safety concerns. Notes Pasted from Square 101 TOP_LEVEL 28.74 ?

Stratigraphically, it has been interpreted as two distinct depositional events. First, the Bronze Age burials were deposited. These burials were then later disrupted and sometimes contaminated by the intrusive 7th century quarrying activity.

In section it can be seen to run under unit 19, and over unit 22. The tip line suggests that as Unit 19 is removed to the North, more of Unit 20 will be discovered, running down the slope. What is exposed suggests that there is very little pottery in this layer. Unit not yet excavated as of July 5. Author(s): Johnston, Philip (2011-07-15) The hump of U20 that is visible in the east section was lowered on July 6 during the articulation of U26, which is directly above it. B8082 yielded philistine bichrome, which fits with the date of the earliest phase of Philistine fortifications attested in Grid 2 (dating to the early Iron IIA).Location or object typeStratigraphic unitLayerFeature compositionLayer compositionKurkarImmediately earlier thanUnit # 19Unit # 26
