We could reconsider the contact association of f129 with f130: f129 abuts staircase f130, and therfore is not later on time and is contemporary to the staircase 132 This structure was built after the staircase and apron were not used, as covered by natural accumulations. Floors dating to Mittani abut the lower steps 133 f133 is lower than f132, dated to s12-MZA 134 f134 abuts the upper part of wall f128 and is lower than the lower part of f132 which is dated to s12. Therfore f134 is later than f128 135 elevation Was exposed through the winter and therfore contaminated 136 elevation Was exposed through the winter and therfore contaminated 137 elevation Was exposed through the winter and therfore contaminated 138 elevation Was exposed through the winter and therfore contaminated 139 elevation 140 same elevation as f141 141 abuts wall f144 142 same elevation as f141 143 same elevation as f141 and lower in elevation than the brickfall 144 brickfall covers wall f144 and therfore wall must be younger I doubt that wall f144 was build to retain the brickfall, thus this was coming from the east and it would therefore have a north-south orientation. This wall, as for other small walls f232, f244 and f188 are built to delimitate the area in front of apron and wall. Similar wall was found at the same elevation also under the brickfall and with the same orientation few meters to the east in J6 (J6f152) 145 same elevation as f141 149 elevation ;151 is at the same elevation as f151, and probably is the same accumulation: f148 is the earliest mittani layer we have in J6 and located directly above the third millenium phase 150 f150 is at the same elevation of f171 and f174, which are area of use in front of the apron and wall during Mittani period: pottery dates the feature 153 elevation 154 This stone could be associated with f150 which is dated to the transitional period Khabur-Mittani: together with f174, f171 consist of a use area in front of apron, and therfore f154 is interpreted as an altar 155 covers f144 large brickfall 156 same elevation as f103 Was exposed through the winter and therfore contaminated 157 elevation Was exposed through the winter and therfore contaminated 158 elevation 159 elevation: below f156 160 elevation 161 elevation Was exposed through the winter and therfore contaminated 162 pottery dated to Khabur period below f161 163 elevation 164 elevation 168 elevation 170 sits in f192, wich is a contaminated soil from the german excavation: therfore the stratum is s8 171 use area equal to f174, f150 172 elevation 173 top of k100: soil accumulated in the last 5 years on top of german trench 174 use area equal to f171, f150 179 contaminated soil from the german trench 180 elevation: large brickfall same as in J6 181 elevation: large brickfall same as in J6 182 assignment based on elevation 183 assignment based on pottery 184 tell surface 185 elevation 186 elevation 187 below topsoil 188 large brickfall same as in J6 189 large brickfall same as in J6 194 The german excavation arrived at this elevation (87.16) dating it to the akkad period. In J6, east of k100, was excavated a floor surface at this level dated to end of Akkad. Therfore f194 is dated to the Third millennium, here h35-MZA 195 elevation 196 The german excavation arrived at this elevation (87.16) dating it to the akkad period. In J6, east of k100, was excavated a floor surface at this level dated to end of Akkad. Therfore f194 is dated to the Third millennium, here h35-MZA 197 elevation 198 elevation 199 elevation 200 top elevation of f200 is the same as for f150, together whith f171, f174 (use area in front of apron and wall), and is a similar feature to f150 201 elevation 206 same as f193,f195 207 under f189, wich is the same brickfall 208 under f188, wich is the same brickfall 209 pottery dated to phase h1-JPA 210 same elevation as f150 and f200 211 is the same brickfall as f208 212 the hole was made in phase h23-MZA, being the staircase at this level covered by accumulations dated to phase h23-MZA 213 assignment based on pottery 214 assignment based on pottery 215 assignment based on pottery 216 same elevation of f218 probably same as f150, use area with ash 217 same elevation of f218 feature related to brickfall 218 same elevation of f218 feature related to brickfall 219 same elevation and characteristics as f171, f174, f200 use area in front of wall 220 same elevation as f179 contaminated by the German Trench 221 top of k100: soil accumulated in the last 5 years on top of german trench 224 f224 should have been built between the building of wall f144 and wall f232 ;225 226 between f144 and f232 228 pottery 229 pottery 232 this wall can be associated to ashy layer f150, while wall f232 rests on top of it (v103) 239 elevation under h23-MZA layers 241 same elevation as f125, accumulation abutting wall f128 242 elevation 243 surface of tell 244 under layers dated for the pottery to phase h23-JPA 249 wall f128 is visible 254 cuts floor f249 255 sits in pit f254 257 f210, f286, f289, dated to second millenium abut f257: the stone was layed when wall f127 was built same as the specular stone f333; oblique stone inserted in wall f127 259 sits in f193 260 below wall f232 261 brickfall 262 sits in f252 263 elevation 265 is part of wall f144 268 270 f200 covers f270 273 elevation 274 elevation 275 elevation 276 this floor is associated to the first steps of staircase: those steps belong to a previous building phase of the monumental access 277 elevation ;278 the hole was covered by f286, wich is dated to s14: therfore the hole was made bofore s14 ;279 fill of f278 ;280 the hole was covered by f286, wich is dated to s14: therfore the hole was made bofore s14 ;281 fill of f280 ;282 the hole was covered by f286, wich is dated to s14: therfore the hole was made bofore s14 ;283 fill of f282 ;284 the hole was covered by f286, wich is dated to s14: therfore the hole was made bofore s14 285 fill of f283 286 below f150 but still active use area 288 f200 dated to Mittani abut it 289 under wall f288 295 pottery dated to Khabur period it is still end of mittani, while all the other features at this level are mittani and this feature would be the only one dated to Khabur; Probably transitional feature 297 elevation closed to f295, dated to Khabur period 298 cuts f286 ;299 fill of 298 300 similar to pit f299 301 fill of f300 304 all layers above are dated to phase h1-JPA 310 elevation 311 same elevation as other pits in front of apron f298 and f300 312 fill of f311 314 same elevation as f125 and f137 in k13 317 stones were covered by f286 318 elevation 319 elevation and layers above dated to phase h1-JPA 323 elevation as f30 in k13 325 dated for the pottery to Mittani 326 lower than elevation of a floor in J6f184, which date to h35-MZA 327 lower than elevation of a floor in J6f184, which date to h35-MZA 328 lower than elevation of a floor in J6f184, which date to h35-MZA 329 lower than elevation of a floor in J6f184, which date to h35-MZA 330 lower than elevation of a floor in J6f184, which date to h35-MZA 333 is part of wall f129, while the upper part is embedded in it layers dated to h33-MZA abut it in J6
