Work during these two seasons included the clearance of another hectare of the surface of the mounds; the completion of the excavation of a large ED III house on the east side of the Main Mound, with several intramural burials; and the initial investigation of another large ED house to the west of Area E and of a potter's work area at the northern end of the Main Mound. Various smaller soundings through the city wall and elsewhere complete the picture, and the line of the city wall round the Main Mound is now clear. The separate but contemporary South Mound was also sampled for the first time. Detailed quantitative analysis of occupation layers was continued in conjunction with Mrs. W. Matthews' micromorphological research. For the results of Mr. Wilkinson's survey and soils work round the site see above, pp. 751–831, and Plate XIVa, b.
