Size and volume of excavations

The excavations in J5 comprised fifteen 5x5m loci, and three odd sized ones (k1, k11, and k21) for a total exposed area of 450 square meters. Excavations were concentrated in two sections: one the Mittani western expansion of access to the BA temple, the other exposure of the EDIII monumental wall. Generally the excavations did not exceed 2 meters below the surface except where earlier excavations under J1 had exposed portionns of the EDIII wall. An estimated 800 cubic meters were excavated across J5.
