B11	2010-02-15_ZJ911yM.j	sC	The brickfall ^bf2 in J06 is thought to be originated from structures of small buildings located to the east of where J06 unit was set, which could possibly be connected with the residencial area C2 and covered a vast area. <a href="https://urkesh.org/mz/a/J04/D/K/0100.htm">k100</a>, to which <a href="https://urkesh.org/mz/a/J04/D/F/0121.htm">f121</a> pertains, was subsumed in the 2008 excavation season within J06 unit as <a href="https://urkesh.org/mz/a/J06/D/F/0084.htm">J6f84</a>. This allowed for a re-evaluation of the situation and assigning the top part of f121 to the ^bf2 layer, where as the lower portion was deemed to be the same as <a href="https://urkesh.org/mz/a/J04/D/F/0150.htm">f150</a> (and <a href="https://urkesh.org/mz/a/J06/D/F/0164.htm">J6f164</a>), part of ^Glacis3

B11	2010-02-15_ZJ911yM.j	sC	This layer is an accumulation layer charecterized by the presence of brickmelt, many pebbles, pottery sherds, small stones and phytolits.
H99	2010-02-15_ZJ911yM.j	sC	The assignement of the specific label came after the excavations of <a href="https://urkesh.org/MZ/A/J06/TEXTS/MainPage.htm">J6</a>, when a brick-melt accumulation was found throughout the whole J06 unit and spread in the Southern portion of J04 area as well.

M99	2010-02-15_ZJ911yM.j	sC	The presence of some horizontal sherds on the surface, entertained the idea that it might have been a walking surface, however, there is no evidence of use of the area in that period.

This feature is dated to the Imperial Akkadian period. Considering the morphological features and location of the wall, provides more evidence for the stratigraphical assignement.
M99	2025-09-11_ZJ911yM.j	yM	It was preiviously thought that this wall might be a part of the secondary Apron of <a href="https://urkesh.org/MZ/A/J02/TEXTS/MainPage.htm">J2</a>, as the building technique and specular assumption were considered. However, it was then established that it is not part of the Apron, but it probably constitute an extention of the revetment wall, forming the eastern boundery of the temple complex.

I10	2010-02-15_ZJ911yM.j	sC	The stratigraphic assignement of this glacis layer was done during the excavations of <a href="https://urkesh.org/MZ/A/J06/TEXTS/MainPage.htm">J6</a> when <a href="https://urkesh.org/mz/a/J04/D/K/0100.htm">k100</a> was subsumed under j6. The pottery recovered within <a href="https://urkesh.org/mz/a/J06/D/F/0164.htm">J6f164</a> 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) back to the 3rd millennium BC.
