G. Buccellati-M.Kelly Buccellati 2014 Nor North, p.448:
Large number of cup fragments in the EDIIIb and early Mittani would suggest that, in those periods, there was a greater cerimonial use of cups at the edge of the Plaza or very near to it. Could this be interpretated to mean that the Plaza was in some way the locus of cerimonies directly connected with the Temple,..?..Clerly, there may have been many depositional process at work. The use of the vessels may have been in place, and served the needs of cerimonies such stops on a processional itinerary. Ous sherds may instead be the discard of a cerimonial use that was taking place elswere, for instance atop the glacis in the vicinity of the Temple itself.
