su During excavation this feature, described as a floor accumulation, was said to be sealed to the west by a surface crust and to the east by Mittani floor f213.  It was assigned to stratum s180b-J5B.  Recovered ceramics ranged from Early Dynastic II to Mittani.  Problematical was a piece of plastic found in the vicinity of a large stone, f216.  At the time its presence was attributed to burrowing animimals even though it was over two meters below the surface.  In previous seasons, this area adjacent to the EDIII revetment wall f189 had been partially excavated to trace the wall's outside face.
ar It is more likely that the plastic came from backfilling  at the conclusion of these earlier excavations.  Therefore it is more suitable to assign this feature to s0-J5B.

su This accumulation was described as a soft reddish accumulation, but the measured color was yellowish brown.  It was described as covering f241, a component of the soil and sherd second escarpment, but both have approximately the same elevations.
ar By comparing elevations, color, and approximate location, accumulation f252 is almost certainly equal to accumulation f264, both of which cover reddish accumulations, f262 and f268 respectively.  In turn, f268 covers ranks of the stone escarpment, f188 and f225, which is covered by the soil escarpment, f241 and f242.
