ds Natural compacted accumulation below topsoil.

f 151
ds Natural compact accumulation abutting the upper part of Revetment wall. It seems forming the interface between the upper accumulations against the Wall and the abandonment level.

f 153

nc f176 is resting on f157 and f150, so very likely they could be considered the same

nv The bottom elevation is probably incorrect.

f 158
ds Red bricky material abutting the base of the wall, probably belonging to the later escarpment.
ar Even if excavated during 2005 season when the stratigraphic situation at the base of the Revetment Wall wasn't very clear yet, I think that this feature is part of the second escarpment because of many similarieties with ^esc2: the bricky texture of the filling, the sealing found inside, the stratigraphic relationship with the bench (a6), the stone escarpment f318, the ^esc2 filling f189, f239. f158 is at much higher elevation, but the bricky material is sloping to the east and it is hardly damaged by the water erosion.

a 6
ev After three more excavation season we reached another conclusion: a6 is a bench abutting the base of the Revetment Wall, interpreted as a curtain wall (^curt3) or similar typology of structure. The date is not clear yet because the accumulation abutting and covering it area clearly Mitanni, but the big stones sits on top of clearly EDIII material. This material is in the middle between a6 (f180) and the lower and earlier flat large stone belonging to f164, interpreted as an early stone escarpment.
I12 The chronology of this installation is unsure. This is also due to the water erosion and many of the J1 elements have been used for long periods. We often find Mitanni material right on top of early Third Millennium material....

f 162
ds Soft accumulation below the multy layered accumulation. According to the specialist kD seems to be a windborne sediment.

sm First row of flat long stone belonging to a stone structure intepreted as an escarpment at the base of the Revetment Wall. The exact datation is not clear yet, but ranging between EDIII and, less likely, Late Chalcolithic.

f 166
ds Soft brown material. Together with the stones f165 form the collapse a5. This accumulation seems also extending to the south to abut(?) the curtain wall f188.

f 180
ds Stone installation perhaps interpreted as a bench because of the shape of the stone with a clear flat upper surface. The stones are large to very large and set on top of the bricky red material belonging to the ^esc2 next to thee lower part of the Revetment Wall.
I12 After three more season of excavation is not sure that this installation is Mitanni. Many elements seem pointing in this direction, but the stones are set on top of a clearly EDIII material, so a small possibility deserves to be kept in mind.

f 181
ds Soft windborne accumulation abutting the medium-lower portion of the Revetment Wall.

f 192
ev After three more excavation season we can assume more surely that this bricky material, like f98 and perhaps f193 (more pottery analysis is required)belong to the filling of the second escarpment that probably was covering at least half of the height of the wall.
I12 Both for stratigraphic and pottery analysis reason we can date this level to the EDIII during the construction of the ^esc2.

f 194
ds Filling considered as topsoil because exposed for a long time and so probably contaminated by later material.

f 195
I12 More excavation showed mixed EDIII and LC material, exactly as ^esc1.

ds Natural soft windborne accumulation
I99 We know now from the pottery analysis that this feature is early Mitanni

f 239
ds Part of the filling of the later escarpment (^esc2). The understanding of this feature was very difficult at the beginning because very eroded and with an irregular surface, and because it was right below Mitanni accumulations and installations, even if it is about 10 centuries earlier. 
I82 The full pottery analysis clearly shows a EDIII date.
nv The top and bottom elevations are not very indicative, because the filling is very irregular, with many steps and higly sloping.

I99 After MZ22 we assign this feature to a short period of abandonment between ^esc1 and ^esc2, both dating to EDIII. So we assign this ashy layer to s63-JPA.
ds Ash accumulation found between ^esc1 and ^esc2 probably showing a short period of abandonment or less care about this area. This ash fills the erosion happened to the first escarpment during the EDIII. Then was covered by the huge filling belonging to the second escarpment.

f 244
ds Filling of red bricky material, part of the later escarpment. At the beginning was declared as a new feature then we uncovered it was the same as f239.

f 245
ds Large stone set in a line with stones f246, f247 and f168, so very likely belonging to ^curt2.

f 248
ev Removing f248 we recovered that was just a narrow filling covering the pebble and sherd pavement f232. So it has to be intepreted as the filling of small channel probably escavated by water along the southern step of f189.

f 300
ds Natural accumulation very compact with few sherds.

f 317
nv The large difference between top and bottom elevation is because of the sharp slope of the layer.

f 339
ar These stones could also be an attempt to stop the water flowing coming from west, that, right in the point, eroded the deeper wall f259. These stones may go toghether with the stones f307. they should rapresent one of the first attemptd to stop this problem in the Early EDIII.

f 342
nf This band of baqaya and the deeper one (f353) show that probably the water flowing was an important problem for the structure a8. They show a later attempt to protect a8 and most of all wall f288, that probably originally didn't have any type of protection from the water, as also shown from its coarse construction.

f 351
nv The large difference between top and bottom elevation is because of the sharp slope of the layer.

f 359
ar If we can suppose that the stones f336 could be remaining stones from the construction of the EDIII revetment wall, could this accumulation full of flakes and pebbles show the waste from the building and the construction of the wall itself and the whole terrace in general?

f 336
ev Further excavation will clarify if this large stone collapse can be divided in different levels, corresponding to different moments, of the collapse. From a stratigraphic point of view with some of the stones resting on f362 and other covered by f362 it seems plausible.
