2. IDENTIFICATION

Designation

Roster Date Author Record
Description (summary) 0000-00-00 rE Laminations with small pockets of ash and inclusions of bricky and plaster chunks in k12. Ashy material was 10YR4/2, dark grayish brown, plaster chunks were 7.5YR7/6, reddish yellow. Lamination color was 10YR5/6, yellowish brown. Bricky chunks were 7.5YR6/6, reddish yellow. Although inclusions were scattered throughout, they were more concentrated in the NE corner, nearest to the BA temple. Discussions with faB indicated that the temple had been destroyed at one point in time, which may account for the presence of the inclusions. [Input: Q302JW1.j]

Typological reasons for assignment 2012-10-07 jW Ceramics have not been fully analyzed but shapes seem to be LC. Items are ubiquitous stone tools. [Input: WX07JW.j]
Other reasons, reservations, qualifications 2005-08-22 gM Probably the first accumulation atop temple mound after abandonent. [Input: P822GM.j]
2012-10-07 jW The stones of apron f10 were laid directly on these laminations which predate the construction. The laminations bespeak an extended period of wind blown soil exposed to precipitation followed by drying. It is not possible to precisely date the deposition, which happened sometime after the glacis f50 was constructed in EDIII and the middle Mittani period of the apron. As in accumulation f31, we assume the LC3 material comes from deteriorated structures higher on the mound. [Input: WX07JW.j]
