2008-09-17 jW Pit in the southern half of k23. It consists of a cut, f26, two fills, f25 and f31, which were covered by the stones of f24. In the bottom fill, f31, were bones, identified by hPU as part of the leg of a cow. Although not a part of this aggregate, the pit was overlain by a pillar of soil, f22, which supported a large stone, f11. [Input: S917JW.j]

2. IDENTIFICATION

Designation

Roster Date Author Record
Description (summary) 2009-04-06 jW A wall system consisting of two layers of melon-sized stones running roughly N-S through loci k44 and k43. The top layer is narrower than the bottom, but neither has been fully excavated as of the end of MZ21. It is possible that the wall system extends both further to the north and south. It is also possible that this wall system is the structure reveiled on the geophysical survey conducted in previous seasons. Its purpose seems to be to delimit the western boundary of the sacral space which includes the BA temple mound and the monumental staircase, f21. [Input: T406JW.j]

Description (summary) 2009-04-06 jW A wall system consisting of two lines of melon-sized stones, f28 and f71, running roughly N-S through loci k44 and k43, and separated by an entranceway threshold, f163. They are very near the surface and probably represent the westernmost boundary of the last realization of the late Mittani period sacral space which includes the BA temple mound and the monumental staircase, f21.

Designation

Roster Date Author Record
Description (summary) 2009-04-06 jW A wall system consisting of an arc of large, square-cut stones extending to the west from underneath a much later rough stone wall, then gradually turning to the north. It appears to also run under the bottom step of staircase, f21. A mud escarpment, f21, extends south and west from the wall's outer edge. The function of the wall is not known. Because it is partially covered by the later, Mittani wall, f3, and its stone glacis, f4 and f199, we do not know its origin or function. Stratigraphically it should fit with the wall system, specific label wall 3. [Input: T406JW.j]
