Description/Count
description (summary) 2006-10-09 jW A circular installation of fist-sized pebbles in a matrix of laminated soil which sits in natural accumulation f141 in k23. In and of itself, it is almost insignificant, however, it is one of a series of unusual features at this spot, a11, ranging in time from at least the Mittani period to the present.

Recovery/Assignment
notes on recovery 2020-8-01 jW At one place in the NE corner of locus k23 there was a succession of at least three distinct special-use features, one atop the other. Starting from the top, near the surface was a hard-packed circle of soil with a burned spot in the middle, f136. Underneath was a circular layer of fist-sized stones in a matrix of mud, f142, at an elevation of about 50cm above the wahal surface, f152, of the Mittani rebuild of the temple mound. On the bottom was pit, a6, which was cut into the baqaya surface, f109, of the original BA temple mound built during the Early Dynastic perion. [Input File: ZE801jWjW.j]
2020-8-01 jW It was inappropriate to link these features as an a aggregate because they are not in the same stratum. Likewise, they are typologically different and cannot be linked as an assemblage. [Input File: ZE801jWjW.j]
2020-8-01 jW Although the congruence of these features is possibly a chance occurrence, that location could also have been ritually important. For example, all three elements are just to the east of some deteriorated mudbrick architecture, f215. Unfortunately, excavation ended before the extent and function of f215 could be determined. As such we can only say that the link among the three features to a continuing ritual is a distinct possibility. [Input File: ZE801jWjW.j]
