Description (summary) 2005-08-06 gM Large and smaller stones that seem leaning one on the other forming some kind of step that goes down towards the south in the northeast quadrant of k101. The stones seem to abruptly end on the western side, seeing that there are no more stones on the same level of the upper and lower ones. On P806 the workmen and rE kept discovering more stones on the south side of the locus. Instead facing the north section of k101 there are two large stones, which elevation is higher than those of f10. In between there seem to be smaller stones to the same level of f10, so maybe the apron doesn't end with the group in NE corner (see the SE corner at the end of the main apron in J02).

Procedures 2005-09-03 jW Roped off the westernmost three stones of the apron to protect workmen excavating below in k104. The matrix around the stones was excavated leaving them firmly bonded to pillars, which are now showing signs of cracking. [Input: P903JW.j]

Stratigraphic reasons of assignment 2005-08-22 gM Late modification to Early Dynastic f11 monumental wall system [Input: P822GM.j]
2012-10-07 jW Western end of the middle Mittani stone apron built on accumulation atop the EDIII glacis. This stonework is an extension to the west of stone apron f532. [Input: WX07JW.j]
Typological reasons for assignment 2005-08-22 gM Accumulation surrounding had Mittani pottery [Input: P822GM.j]
2012-10-07 jW Ceramics in covering accumulations can be used to date abandonment but not construction [Input: WX07JW.j]
Other reasons, reservations, qualifications 2005-08-22 gM New stratum [Input: P822GM.j]
2012-10-07 jW This stratum assignment was an interpolation of more secure assignments to abutting apron feature f556 to the east. We did not remove any of the aprons to expose their foundations. We presume that the aprons were swept clean as long as they were in use, so the overlaying accumulations can at best be used to date the abandonment of the aprons. Apron f556 was tentatively dated to stratum s148a by excavating material in a gap between it and the revetment wall. Because the stonework of f532 and f10 is more crude, we assume they were built somewhat later when construction resources were not as plentiful. [Input: WX07JW.j]
