f 189
sm f189 has been assigned to the cut of a large pit (containing only Khabur material) located in k108. Within this pit, several layers and different accumulations have been exposed while digging, being the fill of the pit. These different layers and accumulations are the following: f149, f218, f181, f157 (=which is the same as f280), f176, f177, f161 (=which is the same as f238), f171, f185, f183, f212, f239, f240, f241, f242, f243, f244 and f187. In v139 (which shows the NE section of k108) are clearly visible f189, the large pit-cut, as well as the various accumulations and layers which form the pit fill. All these features, being different fills of f189, have been therefore grouped toghether into a13. In the UGR a13 as well as f189 is often referred as 'large Khabur pit', since all the material recovered during the excavation of the various pit fills is dated to the Khabur period. Furthermore, during the 2002 excavation season, while continuing digging in the E portion of k108, it has been clearified that several features, which were though to be part of a pit here located (labeled as a17), are instead part of the large Khabut pit f189, and therefore a17 has been unified into a13. v134a shows very well the relationship between a13 and a17.

;(NB the feature here presented are ordered starting from the N section following then the E section). Within each section, features are presented from top to bottom (from W to E portion of the baulk)

; NB explanation of location of part of the feature forming a13: f149,163 (in the N section k5) f218,181 (i.e. the baulk between k5 and k6, in the N section), f153,157 (=280), f176,177,190 (N section k6), f161(=238),171,185,183,212 (E baulk)  238(=157),239,240,241,242,243,244 (E baulk) f153,157,185,183,187(E baulk). In v136 (which shows the NE section of k108) are clearly visible f189, the pit-cut, as well as the various accumulations and layers which consituite the pit fill. All these features, being different fills of f189, have been grouped toghether into a13. In the UGR a13 is often as 'large Khabur pit', since all the material recovered during the excavation of the various pit fills are dated to the Khabur period.



;NB the following features are linked at the bottom of page related to a13 but not represented in the section drawing A16w58 or A16w34 :f152,161,163,164,165,169,170. NB f152 visible in v143; f163-165 sayd to be part of pit perhaps they were not visibile in sections??

a 17
sm During the 2002 excavation season (M season) f157, f161, f171, f176, f179, f183, f185, f187, f189, f212 have been found while digging the fill of a large pit (a17) and therefore, all these feaures have been labeled as being part of a17. However, while finishing the excavation of this large pit, it has been clarified that a17 is the same as a13 (a large pit containing only Khabur material), and therefore the two aggregates (i.e. a13 and a17) have been unified into a13.

;NB the following features are linked at the bottom of page related to a13 but not represented in the section drawing A16w58 f176,179,187
