Ceramics not yet fully analyzed. The few items recovered are ubiquitous. 501 s80-J3B Rough pebble surface that sits in post-Mittani abandonment accumulation f500. 502 s80-J3B Displaced stone that sits in post-Mittani abandonment accumulation f500. 503 s80-J3B Displaced stone that sits in post-Mittani abandonment accumulation f500. 504 s80-J3B Displaced stone that sits in post-Mittani abandonment accumulation f500. 505 s80-J3B Displaced stone that sits in post-Mittani abandonment accumulation f500. 506 s80-J3B Displaced stone that sits in post-Mittani abandonment accumulation f500. 507 s80-J3B Displaced stone that sits in post-Mittani abandonment accumulation f500. 508 s80-J3B Displaced stone that sits in post-Mittani abandonment accumulation f500. 509 s80-J3B Displaced stone that sits in post-Mittani abandonment accumulation f500. 510 s80-J3B Displaced stone that sits in post-Mittani abandonment accumulation f500. 511 s80-J3B Rough pebble surface that sits in post-Mittani abandonment accumulation f500. 512 s00-J3B Undifferentiated soil removed from an old baulk that was part of a previous excavation. 513 s30-J3B Layer of natural accumulation directly below topsoil f513. 514 s20-J3B Topsoil on tell surface. 515 s20-J3B Topsoil on tell surface. 516 s20-J3B Layer of natural accumulation directly below topsoil f515. 517 s80-J3B Soil in pedestal temporarily supporting a displaced stone in post-Mittani natural accumulation, f500. 518 s20-J3B Topsoil on tell surface. 519 s120b-J3B Displaced stone that sits in very late Mittani natural accumulation f534. 520 s80-J3B Displaced stone that sits in immediate post-Mittani accumulation f557. 521 s80-J3B Portion of second pebble surface that sits in immediate post-Mittani accumulation f500. 522 s30-J3B Layer of natural accumulation directly below topsoil f518. 523 s20-J3B Surface topsoil in baulk. 524 s120a-J3B Displaced stone that sits in very late Mittani accumulation f535. 525 s120b-J3B Displaced stone that sits in very late Mittani natural accumulation f534. 526 s120b-J3B Displaced stone that sits in very late Mittani natural accumulation f534. 527 s120b-J3B Displaced stone that sits in very late Mittani natural accumulation f534. 528 s120b-J3B Displaced stone that sits in very late Mittani natural accumulation f534. 529 s80-J3B Displaced stone that sits in very late Mittani accumulation f565. 530 s80-J3B Displaced stone that sits in very late Mittani accumulation f565. 531 s30-J3B Displaced stone that sits in near-surface accumulation f513. 532 s144-J3B Middle Mittani stone apron built on accumulation atop the EDIII glacis that was an extension to the west of stone apron f556 Ceramics in covering accumulations date abandonment but not construction This stratum assignment was an interpolation of more secure assignments to abutting apron features f556 to the east and f10 to the west. We did not remove any of the aprons to expose their foundations. We presume that the aprons were swept clean as long as they were in use, so the overlaying accumulations can at best be used to date the abandonment of the aprons. Apron f556 was tentatively dated to stratum s148a by excavating material in a gap between it and the revetment wall. Because the stonework of f532 is more crude, we assume it was built somewhat later when construction resources were not as plentiful. 533 s80-J3B Late Mittani accumulation built up under near-surface accumulation 522 and covering floor f566. 534 s120b-J3B Compacted natural floor below post-Mittani accumulation f500 and below late Mittani floor f566. Ceramics include painted ware. This feature lies south of apron f532. It covers the stones of both the EDIII wall, f569 and the large boulders, f591 placed above it in the late Mittani period. 535 s120a-J3B Natural accumulation that overlays part of apron f532 and that is covered by accumulations f513 and f516, 536 s20-J3B Topsoil on tell surface. 537 s50-J3B Layer of natural accumulation directly below topsoil f536. 538 s122c-J3B Lower levels of natural accumulation excavated south of revetment wall f569 and containing a large number of displaced stones. 539 s20-J3B Topsoil on tell surface. 540 s30-J3B Layer of natural accumulation directly below topsoil f539. 541 s80-J3B Immediate post-Mittani natural accumulation which is said to cut accumulation f542, Ceramics not yet fully analyzed. The few items recovered are ubiquitous. It probably is fill of a pit cut into f542. 542 s80-J3B Immediate post-Mittani natural accumulation under accumulation f537. Ceramics have not been fully analyzed. 543 s80-J3B Displaced stone that sits in immediate post-Mittani accumulation f557. 544 s50-J3B Pebbles arranged in a semicircle that rest on floor f547. Ceramics have not been fully analyzed and the few items recovered are ubiquitous. 545 s00-J3B Undifferentiated soil removed from an old baulk that was part of a previous excavation. 546 s50-J3B Ashy layer of soil near the stones of k544 and resting on floor f547, The ceramics have not yet been analyzed. The lone item was a fragment of an obsidian blade. The pebbles of f544 and the ashy soil of ff546 coupled with the blade fragment may be evidence of a temporary encampment. 547 s50-J3B Compacted natural accumulation relatively close to the surface which may have been the site of a temporary encampment. Ceramics have not been fully analyzed and the few items recovered are ubiquitous. 548 s60-J3B Natural accumulation covered by accumulation f547. Stratigraphically dates to post-Mittani period of unorganized occupation. Ceramics have not been fully analyzed and the few items recovered are ubiquitous. 549 s144-J3B A line of 12 large stones arrayed just to the north of the north edge of the second apron, f532. Their physical position and proximity to the second apron is strong evidence that they were originally a part of both phases of its construction. Unfortunately all stones do not appear in a single photo, but view v501of the deteriorated B6 trench, view v514 of the cleaned B6 trench (extending from k2 to k107), and v516 of the north side of k107 provides adequate documentation of this assignment. endlist
