By necessity this study (published in 2007, but submitted several years earlier), does not include substantial references to Tell Mozan other than in passing – e.g., on p. 194 it is indicated that “Khabur ware” ceramics is found in the house of Puššam [Unit C2], ignoring the even larger amount found in Area AA. The authors deal with, and reject, the Hurrian hypothesis for the origin of the Khabur ware: on p. 194, they refer to the “Hurrianizing” kingdom of Tell Mozan[!], and on p. 179, n. 5, they state that the definition of Hurrian ethnicity is based on onomastics, not on material culture.
