| Description (summary) | 2008-09-14 | lR | Approximately 20 cm below the brickmelt s12b, installations such as a drainage channel, tannur, and pavements began to surface at a high elevation. These features are from late Mittani occupation that reused early Mittani structures from s15 and built over s14. This occupation level was likely an outdoor production area given the presence of the drainage installation, a3 and rough pavements f73, f72, and f35 which are more similar to wadi wash rather than formal pavements and the high volume of ash. These pavements also overlay a wall, f107, indicating that the structure was not in use during the time of the drainage system. This stratum also includes ash accumulations that resulted from these outdoor installations that area high in volume, sloping, and abut the bricky mass f98, f52, f82, and f64. This ash appears to have been produced over multiple periods of time as evident by laminations and clear layers within the ashy deposits. There is also evidence that during s12a people placed other installations over the ash, including f68 brick pile/platform and tannurs f100 and f42. This argues that the ash was produced during occupation and not exclusively after during abandonment. [Input: S914LR.j] |
