Description/Count
Description 2005-8-20vVE f200 is much more ashy than the overlying layers.
2005-8-22sC f200 is a natural accumulation in the northern half of k14. It is characterized by a very fine texture (clayish) and it is soft in consistence. When wet it is a bit plastic, and when dry it leaves color on the finger. It is dark brown in color. It is the same of f171 in k13, f174 in k101 and f150 in k4.

Recovery/Assignment and the Record
Strategy 2005-8-20vVE Excavation of the northern half of k14 continued today with the start of a new feature: f200.
Procedure 2005-8-22sC on the P819 the elevator is located in the southern half of k14, therefore is not possible to dig in this area
Problems in recording 2008-3-6pC f200 is a feature with many other features: it is 60 cm thick and it covers wall f224 and abuts wall f188: this feature follows not the real stratigraphic sequence: at the top is an ashy accumulation same as f171, f174, f150, then is a graysh soft accumulation

Time sequencing
Stratum to which element belongs 2011-11-11cJC s158J2B
Phase to which stratum belongs 2011-11-11cJC h7jJ2B
Stratigraphic reasons 2008-3-5pC top elevation of f200 is the same as for f150, together whith f171, f174 (use area in front of apron and wall), and is a similar feature to f150
Typological reasons 2005-9-14mH Mitanni in date but curiously also contains Phase h4-J h4JPA and one Phase h3-J h3J < sherd.
Other reasons 2011-5-16cJC This feature may include multiple strata. See pC's note.
2011-11-21cJC This feature extends through several features, including the interface between Mittani and EDIII near the revetment wall. Because it is more than 60cm deep and spans an area with sloping accumulations it is difficult to assign to a stratum. It probably includes material from s610 s610JPD, s170 s170JPD, s160 s160JPD and s158 s158JPD
I99.NTime 2005-9-12mKB given the clear Mittani sherds in this feature it is to be dated to the Mittani period but it is to be pointed out that in this feature there are fewer late sherds. However this feature is very unusual in that there are sherds dating to Phase h4-J h4JPA; this seldom happens in the J2 and J1 areas. In q536 there is a sherd from Phase h3-J h3J <. Suprisingly then in f200 there are sherds from most of the periods between Mittani and Phase h1-J h1J < but since they are very few it is impossible to call this a transitional feature. The excavator is very preceptive for having noticed the unique distribution of data in this feature.

Descriptive
Notes on typology 2008-3-6pC f200 was excavated for 60 cm without changing feature: I think it was forget to change feature number. in the next locus k101, k103 there are more features with real change in soil matrix and inclusions, together with a change in pottery: f171 and f174 are Mittani features and the underlying f182 is dated to Third millennium: I think this happens also in k14 North of walls f224 and f188 at the elevation of q680, were there are many phase 1-JPA sherds
