f 77
nr f77, the glacis layer that was layed down on top of the mound in Phase 63-MZA in k82, is the same as f127 in k72. We assigned two different feature numbers to this glacis layers because the feature was initially dug in two different loci and because it was overlayed by the E baulk of k82 (f123); once f123 was removed, was clear that f77 was the same as f127.

nr f127 in k72, which is the glacis layer was layed on top of the mound in Phase 63-MZA, is the same as f177 in k82. We assigned two different feature numbers to this glacis layers because this feature was initially dug in two different loci and being overlayed by the E baulk of k82 (f123); once f123 was removed, appeared that f127 was clear that f77 was the same as f127.

f 12
nr f12 and its pedestal, f102, were found where the bottom of the N baulk of k72 should have been. However, the N baulk of k72 was not anymore in place in the 2006 excavation season since it was cut by T15, a W-E trench, dug in this portion of the tell mound during the 2001 excavation season. For this reason, there are no contact information relative to f12 and its pedestal f102.

nr f98 and the stone resting on top of this accumulation (f20), were found where the bottom of the N baulk of k72 should have been. However, the N baulk of k72 was not anymore in place in the 2006 excavation season since it was cut by T14, a W-E trench, dug in this portion of the tell mound during the 2001 excavation season. For this reason, there are no contact association information related to f98.

f 64
ev In the light of what found in J06 during the 2008-9 excavation seasons, it is probable that f64 is the top-most portion, in J04, of what in J06 Unit has been defined as 'dump^1'. In J06, the features representing the so called 'dump^1' -which is the latest level before the abandonment subsequent to the extended brickfall bf^1 (please, see J06 'dump^1' and related features for further information)- present the same characteristics and the same type of inclusions as f64, i.e.,: the soil is compact with patches of softer soil, and the soil matrix is characterized by an abundant presence of pebbles, animal bones, small and medium size stones, by a large quantity of pottery sherds and some tannur fragments and slope toward south. In J06 Unit the pottery recovered within features belonging to 'dump^1' are Mittani sherds. In digging f64, several Mittani sherds have been found (cfr. file Q903mKB) altough some later pottery sherds have been recovered as well togheter with ashes and small brick fragments, and this is due to the fact that f64 is the top-most surface of the dump, and as, such was slowly covered by natural accumulations. Above f64, we have been digging only natural accumulations which are poor in pottery sherds or materials which suggest that the area was not in use.

f 69
ev f69 should belong to Phase 67-MZA, stratum 12a. However, f69 has been assigned to Phase 85-MZA s1 since f69 is a natural accumulation over uncovered excavation from MZ17 in k84 and consists of wind-blown soil that build-up in the N portion of the locus in the last two years; for this reason, we treated this feature as a modern topsoil.
