2. IDENTIFICATION

Designation

Roster Date Author Record
Description (summary) 2005-08-29 jW Layer seen in only in west section of k12, abutting f84 and overlaying f34. It is highly probable that this is a remnant of a layer of bakhia which formed the surface of the monumental mound that extended from boundary wall, f11, at the bottom to the BA temple at the top.

Stratigraphic reasons of assignment 2006-04-26 jW Packing covering compacted fill f34 [Input: Q426JW.j]
2012-10-07 jW Layer of baqaya under accumulation f33 to the west of the possible west terminus f72 of apron f10. [Input: WX07JW.j]
Typological reasons for assignment 2012-10-07 jW No ceramics or items recovered because this feature was only seen in section after excavation. [Input: WX07JW.j]
Other reasons, reservations, qualifications 2006-04-26 jW Probably formed the top of the temple mound as constructed in Early Dynastic Period and lasted through at least part of the Mittani Period. [Input: Q426JW.j]
2012-10-07 jW This layer which generally followed the slope of the tell appeared only in section. It is tentatively dated by its relationship to middle Mittani accumulation f33. [Input: WX07JW.j]
