Description (summary) 2008-07-21 lH Floor accumulation in the north half of k34. It is similar to the floor accumulation, f39, in k23. We removed it using the big pick. [Input: S721LH.j]

3. STRATIGRAPHY

Recovery/Assignment

Roster Date Author Record
Substantive contradictions 2009-02-18 jW A sentence in the description says "It is similar to the floor accumulation, f39, in k23." This cannot be the case as the colors, hardnesses, textures, and strata differ greatly. After the fact, we cannot resolve the contradiction, so the quoted sentence should be disregarded.

Phase (to which element belongs) 2012-10-16 !! h8mJ5B [Input: WX16JW.j]
Typological reasons for assignment 2008-07-23 mKB Phase is Middle Assyrian based on shapes and decorations of sherds from q47 and q50. [Input: S723MKB.j]
Notes on time sequencing 2008-07-23 mKB Under stratigraphic sequence JPC, Phase is 71, Abandonment. [Input: S723MKB.j]
2008-08-05 mKB even though there was previously indication of Middle Assyrian pottery in this feature (q47, q50) there is no clear Middle Assyrian in this q lot (q147) so probably Mittani. [Input: S806MKB.j]
2008-08-15 jW Phase is indeterminate based on analysis of several q-lots. q147, containing Mittani sherds, but no Middle Assyrian sherds, was taken from the excavation of the east baulk and may have contained sherds from the Mittani accumulation below, f45. Q-lots q47 and q50 were taken from the main accumulation and contained Middle Assyrian sherds. [Input: S815JW.j]
