;ns The sherds in q 220 which I looked at in the field one rim of a ridged jar, WS ware body sherds from a jar. Feature appears to date at the very end of the third millennium to the beginning of the second millennium.


f 0330
ns f330 and f28 had painted sherds but nothing which certainly appears to be Nuzi. This stratum appears to be dated either very early in Nuzi (because of the handled pitcher sherd with handle directly attached to the rim, carinated bowl rims, necked jars with poorly painted black necks and bowls with a wide flat rim all characteristic of the Nuzi period at Mozan) or very late Habur period.

;ns from observations of the sherds in the field: sherds are WS ware and I ware with few CH sherds. Time period for feature seems to be Scattered Occupation within the Bitumen Use Tradition even though actual bitumen painted or repaired sherds are evident.
;f 0225
;ns sherds in this feature and nearby features date to the Bitumen Use Tradition and make the feature late third millennium. The tablet found in this feature, after a brief field inspection, is dated by GB to the Ur III period. This will all be reviewed at the end of the season when the AKsC stratum sequence is established.

;ns From the notes I have from last season's stratigraphy, f63 should be equivalent to AKsB10. The following summary is based on the sherds from MZ9 processed thus far this season: many conical cups, one with a fine reamed base, some bitumen repaired sherds, plant wiped medium bowl with a wide, flat base, some Imitation Metallic sherds, one necked jar sherd of gray Metallic ware, one spout, both fine and small Pebble Tempered Ware sherds, Simple ware cups and small bowls. One small CH ware bowl with wide incised lines on the exterior is probably an imitation of Ninevite V pottery; in the storeroom of F1 a whole vessel with pointed base and flaring rim and incisions on the shoulder is the best example yet found of this type of pottery.
