Definition 2011-09-22 jW isolated stone [Input: V922JW.j]
Description (summary) 2009-07-26 jW A small patch of sandy soil to the south of stone installation, f200 in the southern part of locus k105. It was stratigraphically linked to, and was probably an extension of, soil in a water channel, f206 found on the north side of f200. [Input: T726JW.j]
2011-09-22 jW Five randomly oriented, medium-sized, boulders which sit in a sandy soil, 206, which fills a gully which cut the Mittani period soil escarpment, f74, to Early Dynastic period wall, f74. It is likely that they were carried by swift flowing water from a deteriorated installation higher on the temple mound; however, we can not rule out the possibility that they were intentionally placed in the gully to mitigate erosion from flowing water.

3. STRATIGRAPHY

Recovery/Assignment

Roster Date Author Record
Formal inconsistencies 2011-09-22 jW At the very end of the first excavation season (2008-S) five large, loose stones in a water channel were designated as feature, f200. It appears that a description was never entered. At the beginning of the second excavation season (2009-T) the number was used to designate sandy soil in the vicinity of the original five stones. The description mentions that the soil is to the south and is an extension of other nearby sandy soil, f206, to the north. The best resolution of this issue is to incorporate this soil into f206 and designate f200 as the stones which sit in the soil. [Input: V922JW.j]
