Description/Count
Description 2006-9-13mS This is a surface made of small pebbles, stones, sherds and containing some bones. This is very interesting because we did not have this surface to the south next to the wall f72 where we have excavated to a lower elevation. It may have stopped at a line we saw last year in an east-west wall, f188. This was a Mitanni screen wall which had very differented accumulations on either side but was at a higher elevation. We will follow this surface to the south and see if it continues to the unexcavated part of k113. [Input file: Q912MS.J / Q912MS.-J]
2006-9-14mS although we have not examined the sherds from this feature, the sherds from f231 directly above the surface seem to be primarily Khabur per mKB although it is not definite. We will tag all the lots from this accumulation to continue checking. [Input file: Q912MS.J / Q912MS.-J]
2006-9-25mS still recovering definite Mitanni pottery from this accumulation so we are still in Mitanni. We do not yet have strictly Khabur, although our first thought is that f233, the sherd floor underneath f232 may be Khabur. [Input file: Q916MS.J / Q916MS.-J]
2006-9-28mS lC suggested that this the northern two meters of this feature is the actual surface and further north may just be a washout of the original surface. The inclusions are numerous at this point and it is indeed possible. [Input file: Q928MS.J / Q928MS.-J]
2006-9-30mS in a meeting with mKB, the initial pottery analysis is most likely Khabur although there may be a Mitanni sherd. This is very possible and gB says it makes sense because we do not have any time elapse or abandonment between Khabur and Mitanni and there may be mixing of pottery. [Input file: Q926MS.J / Q926MS.-J]
2006-10-7mS after further pottery analysis mKB has determined that there is Mitanni pottery on this surface and it can therefore be dated to early Mitanni. We are calling it early because of it's elevation and also because there are a large number of Khabur sherds which have been much less common at higher elevations. We don't believe there is any break between Khabur and Mitanni in this locale. [Input file: QX06MS1.J / QX06MS1.-J]

Recovery/Assignment and the Record
Argument 2008-7-28lW After removing small part of f232 which was left from previous year, to the west of k127, we found out that f232 overlays f238 just in the northern part because of the slope of f238. [Input file: S720LW1.J / S720LW1.-J]
C99.NRecovery 2006-9-27mS this feature contains large quantities of sherds, bones and stones. We will remove this carefully insuring that we recover as many bones as possible for hPU to study next season. hPU gave a presentation on being extremely careful when excavating so we recover the smallest bones which, although small, are extremely important in telling us what fauna are utilized in the area. This would be extremely useful since we believe f232 is either a late Khabur or early Mitanni surface in front of the wall. [Input file: Q926MS.J / Q926MS.-J]

Phase to which stratum belongs 2011-2-10lC h7fJ1A [Input file: V211LC.J / V211LC.-J]
Stratigraphic reasons 2006-10-7mS this surface is the first horizontal surface above the escarpment which slopes down to the south and west. We originally thought this was Khabur because there are several Khabur sherds in place but pottery analysis shows it is still Mitanni, but likely very early. This belongs to the first level of accumulation against the wall. [Input file: QX06MS1.J / QX06MS1.-J]
Typological reasons 2006-10-7mS Mitanni pottery mixed with Khabur indicates an early Mitanni. [Input file: QX06MS1.J / QX06MS1.-J]
Other reasons 2006-10-7mS This designation is preliminary, but very likely at this point. [Input file: QX06MS1.J / QX06MS1.-J]
