Summary 2009-9-9cJC Thick deposit of several natural accumulations. This feature was created by several different depositional events but was excavated as one feature. It has many flaky layers and breaks apart into layers very easily.

A98.NLabeling 2009-8-3cJC When we were excavating this layer it appeared to be one feature, however, in the west section we were later able to define some subtle differences. Therefore we will assign new feature numbers in k5 to the different layers that composed f357 in k110 and more than one layer in k5 will be equal to f357 in k110.

Description/Count
Description 2009-8-1cJC This feature is a flaky gray layer that covers all of k110. Portions of this feature were exposed for several seasons as this is the elevation at which the previous J2 excavations ended. It has a gray surface but when picked it comes part in flat layer. The layers are sandy with red and white inclusions. It is very coarse.

Phase to which stratum belongs 2011-11-11cJC h3sJ2B
Stratigraphic reasons 2009-9-16cJC Dated to transitional EDIIIA-EDIIIB based on ceramics.
Typological reasons 2009-9-18mKB q858- p6 coarse red-brown flat base with depression around the base, Ninevite V type; q859- p7 bowl with square rim but thinner than some examples of this bowl type and with very slight curvature on the upper part of the exterior similar to J1 f341 q1289- p2; q841- p4 Late Chalcolithic jar; q859- p10, - p11, - p12 flat base with wheel marks from a cup or bowl with swollen lower body walls; q859- p4 narrow necked jar with flat rim; q859- p5 bowl with rxtended square rim; q858- p5 narrow necked jar with rounded rim and globular body
Other reasons 2009-9-18mKB this feature as well as J2 f359 are transitional between Phases 3s and 4c (in traditional terms early and late ED III, ie ED IIIA and ED IIIB) because they have elements in the ceramics that are characteristic for both periods. In this respect the typology resembles J1 the fills below the earliest escarpment (J1 f329, f341, f345, f347, f354)
2011-5-16cJC Floor above f334 dated to EDIII with ceramics and floor below ( f359) is also EDIII so all layers between were also assigned to EDIII based on stratigraphy.
2011-11-21cJC Dated to Mid-EDIII based on ceramics, also stratigrapically below features assigned to Late EDIII
I99.NTime 2009-9-18mKB Transition from Phase 3s to 4c
