Recovery/Assignment

Roster Date Author Record
Argument 2005-08-07 mH gB and mKB suggested that the f154 could perhaps be an offering stone and perhaps f150 shows the use this area was put to while the stone (f154) was used. [Input: P807MH.j]

Stratigraphic reasons of assignment 2008-03-05 pC This stone could be associated with f150 which is dated to the transitional period Khabur-Mittani: together with f174, f171 consist of a use area in front of apron, and therfore f154 is interpreted as an altar [Input: S305PC.j]
Other reasons, reservations, qualifications 2005-09-14 mH Large, flat stone resting on apron f131. [Input: S215PC.j]
2011-05-16 cJC Use of the area with burning and ashy patches. Could be linked to the construction of the second apron when this area was again used for cultic purposes and the upper levels of the 1st staircase and apron were retouched and the second apron was constructed. At this point they possibly added this large flat stone for ritual purposes. [Input: V516CJC.j]
2011-11-21 cJC Since this stone has not been removed the materials underneath it are unknown. After the brickfall it appears the area was reused with small patchy accumulations above the brickfall. These use areas and floors may be associated with the use of the this stone as an offering stone. See v76. There are several small patchy areas such as f142 which may be the period of use associated with the placement and use of this stone. [Input: VY21CJC.j]
