East of the staircase and of wall f127 the temple monumental acces finishes and therefore f127 is the eastern boundary in Mittani time.

Findings inside: a small piece of crucible (q288.1) in the edge of accumulation f167. It was resting precisely over the beginning of the bricky projection of the wall, the beginning of the new glacis f187. Also, a black cylinder seal, i18, at middle high in the excavation of the accumulation f167, in an area where the consistence of the soil was more bricky than ashy. G3 2008-09-13_S913CVP.j cVP Glacis f107 partially covers ^wall7 and also covers ashy accumulation f167, that itself abuts the same wall. G4 2008-09-13_S913CVP.j cVP This aggregates is not based in any functional or structural meaning, yet, but a general stratigraphical one. G12 2008-09-13_S913CVP.j cVP i18 G99 2008-09-13_S913CVP.j cVP The wall was ascribed tentatively to Phase h33, more on account of stratigraphical reasons. Even if the cylinder seal found in f167 was preliminary assesed as Early Akkadian, the pottery associated with it has mitanni components. That means that the wall f166, along with glacis f187 (^glacis 3), could have been built during Phase h33, but the accumulation of ashes and bricky crups forming f167, above it, and also the upper glacis f107, ^glacis2, are Mittani. Also, we think that there could be a connection between f187 found in k74, abutting wall f166, and glacis f164 in k84; they are both red and bricky and at a similar elevation. f187 would slope down in a general SW direction.

M99 2008-09-13_S902PC.j pC this building was probably the southern gate to the temple terrace: it is dated to EDII and the building technique is the same as for the walls of the terrace (revetment wall). The orientation of the building reflects the same orientation as the staircase. The plaza in the 3. millennium was a free space beginning from this point. Probably at the beginning of the second millennium the limits of the plaza were more to the North and this building was anymore used. Another possibility is that is a corner wall and not a building; in this case is the south and east boundary of the plaza O11 2008-09-23_S911PC.j pC v135 O11 2008-09-23_S911PC.j pC v135a O11 2008-09-23_S911PC.j pC v135b
