s 14-MZA
ds in J6 there is no particular event to assign to this stratum, like instead to the west, but we have indications of activities to the East to which walls f76 and f84 can be associated and probably the bin in J4. These structures are small and too damaged or not compleatly excavated.

s 15-MZA
ds scattered use of area south of bin: it consists in a dump, a floor surface and a pit cut in the brickfall. brickfall is visible and blocks the way to the south.

s 16-MZA
ds Great brickfall of a structure or a series of buildings located east of J6 and probably connected to residencial area C2. The collapse falled from East to West and covered all J6, J7 and J2. This event is probably due to the fact that this sturctures were abandoned. The brickfall induced the abandonment of the eastern part of the temple terrace.

s 16a-MZA
ds a fire spread in all J6: an event just before the brickfall.

s 18-MZA
ds ^glacis1 is the last glacis found in J6 and located directly under the brickfall (^bf2). This is the last elemet in J6 connected to the temple terrace. After this we have a large event of a collapse ^bf2 and ^bf1 

s 19-MZA
ds building of ^glacis2 and 'memory stones'. In this strata the last larger building phase for the eastern portion of temple terrace. A wall and a glacis are constructed: the architectural tradition and the sacrality of this place are continued. After this, the eastern part of the temple terrace is slowly abandoned. Later we have only few elements indicating that this area is still used. In front of monumental access are built courtain walls to keep accumulations growing fast to the south and protect the staircase

s 19a-MZA
ds building of ^wall3, which is a memory of ^wall6, as does ^wall5. In J6, as for J2, we can see a structural continuity for this phase: the tradition is continued with the building of new structures which remember the previous structures

s 19b-MZA
ds a pit filled wiith ashes was found next to wall f127. In this strata there are indications that this area is used.

s 19c-MZA
ds A thick accumulation covers ^glacis3 and is dated to Mittani. While this accumulation has also traces of use (ashes, floor, lot of pottery and objects), the area was not abandoned but ther is an intense use in J4, J2 and J6.

s 48-MZA
ds To this stratum we can only presume that there was an intense use and damage of the ^glacis3, probably to connect to building activities to the east, were we found a portion of a wall f166, This wall can be a bigger structure

h 85-MZA
df scattered intrusions
ds upper layers: tell surface, wash and erosion, undisturbed upper accumulations. This phase consists in the last centuries of the tell, where no particular activity or human presence is recorded. Some modern burials are located to the East of the temple, but for J6 and all the staircase there is no sign of them.

h 67-MZA
df breakdown tradition
ds This phase is very similar to h85-MZA, where there is no particular sign of human presence. In J6 and in all the area of the staircase we have only natural accumulations. The pottery found in this strata was mixed but mostly mittani, therefore we can ascribe this phase to the end of Mittani, were this area of the tell was anymore used and the settlement was in the western part (see for exemple A20 or J5)

h 65-MZA
df great western shift
ds At the beginning of this phase there is a great brickfall of a large structure East of the staircase: in J6 the area is not anymore used, due to the brickfall. This structure is dated to Mittani for the large amount of material and pottery found in the brickfall. The structure is to date to h63-MZA - h55-MZA. The focus of the temple terrace is moved to the West (J5 and A20)

h 63-MZA
df focus in the east
ds Early Mittani. The area around the monumental staircase is reorganized, while the lower part of the apron and staircase is covered and this entrance is not used. In this period a fast grow of accumulations south of the staircase is recorded in J2 and J1 (revetment wall): probably we have structures to the south of the plaza, which permit the growing of accumulations in area JP. The staircase on the top is blocked. The area in this phase is sacral and keeps the older tradition with this rebuilding activities which remember the great architecture of previous periods: a 'second apron' is build to the West and to the East of the staircase. Reorganization of space East of wall f129: a series of glacis are layed on top of the mound, covering wall f129 and on top are placed stones to remember the function of boundary of the wall (f127). the staircase is covered for the first lower half. 

h 33-MZA
ds Late Imperial Akkadian. Use and damage of the ^glacis3. In this phase there are probably building activities to the East: wall f166 is probably dated to this period (still to be excavated, only partly exposed), but we have too few information.

h 32-MZA
ds Imperial Akkadian. The monumental stone staircase and revetment wall are totally visible. A wall to the east of the staircase f129 is the eastern boundary of the staircase. In the back part of the wall f129 is layed thick layer of bricky earth: it has the function of a glacis to protect the wall. Probably to this phase we have more events, like floor surfaces in front of the staircase in J2, remarking the fact that this area is in use

h 23-MZA
ds Early Dynastic II: major building phase of the temple terrace: the revertment wall, the staircase, the apron and a4 belong to this period, contemporary to the temple BA. Probably also structure in k100 a6 belongs to this construction phase. Temple BA on the top of the mound is build together with these structures, which build together a monumental religious complex
