| Description (summary) | 2006-09-29 | pC | This is the accumulation under f158 in k100. The surface is very compact and it is sharply sloping S of the square. It is crumbly and hard in consistence. f160 is characterized by the presence of broken stones (10cm in dimensions), chalcite pebbles and phytolits. [Input: Q929PC.j] |
| 2010-01-24 | sC | f160 has been assigned to a very compact accumulation rich in organic material, within k100. f160, right below f158, has been found while making a small sounding (100x100cm) in the NW corner of k100. The feature seems to slope toward the south portion of the locus, which suggests that f160 could follow the slope of the tell mound as we have seen in the cases of the other features dug within locus k100: f158, f150 and f121; however, the portion of f160 exposed is too small for any further interpretation. f160 is very fine and clayish, dark brown in colour and is very wet.

| Evolution | 2010-03-31 | sC | Thanks to the excavations carried out in k100 in 2008 and 2009 (during these excavation seasons k100 was incorporated within J06 unit as k84), it has been possible to understand the nature of J04 f150, J04 f158 and J04 f160 (and partially the lowest portion of f121), i.e., the layers found while doing the deep sounding in J04 k100. As seen, J04 f150, J04 f158 and J04 f160 are the same of J6f164 which is a glacis layer (cfr. J06^glacis 3) made to protect a stone wall located on the west, J02 f129. The pottery recovered within J6f164 revealed Chalcolithic sherds, dating this and other layers related with this (cfr. for example, J06 f158, J06 f168, J06 f164 and all the features within s49 in J06 unit) back to the 3rd millennium BC (cfr. analysis of the pottery on S901 by MKB) thus revealing that in this portion of the tell mound 3rd millennium BC layers were located right below Mittani accumulations.

| Stratigraphic reasons of assignment | 2010-03-10 | sC | Assignment based on similarity with dateable feature and on pottery analysis. f160 is covered by dateable feature (f158) and it is phased to the Calcholitic period on the base of pottery analysis (mKB, communication to all Mozan staff at the end of the 2006 excavation season) [Input: U310SC.j] |
| Typological reasons for assignment | 2008-08-16 | mKB | date determined by looking at shapes and decoration only; pottery q lots will receive a full analysis at a later time. Date unclear based on the mixed nature of the ceramics and based on preliminary examination of shapes and decoration [Input: S831mKB.j] |
