Ceramic typological distribution !! !! frequencies of ceramic vessels and sherds included within feature
Notes on contact association 2009-08-29 cJC f344 is covered by a thin layer in section, it has not been possible to correlate the features seen in the south section of k110 (the locus in which we found f344) with the previous excavations. It is possible that f310 is the feature covering f344 although there is no feature under the brickfall (which was a large feature f286) that matches the description of f344. Therefore, no types of contact have been assigned covering f344. [Input: T829CJC.j]

Typological reasons for assignment 2009-09-18 mKB q852-p1 conical cup with string cut base; -p16 coarse reddish-brown bowl similar to f258 q683-p1 (see under this entry the references to comparative bowls in J1); -p5, -p15 and -p17 bowls with flat bases and strong wheel marks; -p3 yellow-buff jar with a slightly outturned rim; -p20 cup with string cut base with swelling of body wall just above the base; -p9 reddish-buff conical cup; -p8 greenish-buff conical cup [Input: T920MKB3.j]

2011-11-21 cJC Late EDIII floor in front of the apron. This is the highest preserved floor. It is possible there were more floors above this feature but they were destroyed or removed in antiquity due to erosion. The brickfall falls directly on this feature. [Input: VY21CJC.j]
