Stratigraphic reasons of assignment 2012-10-07 jW Mud glacis in k22 below floor f173. [Input: WX07JW.j]
Typological reasons for assignment 2012-10-07 jW Feature cleaned but not excavated. Minimal ceramics and no items recovered. [Input: WX07JW.j]
Other reasons, reservations, qualifications 2012-10-07 jW We hypothesize that this feature is a glacis built at the end of the Mittani occupation to preserve the shape and form of the temple mound. The stratum assigned is based on its relative position with respect to abandonment accumulations above and Mittani occupational accumulations below. [Input: WX07JW.j]
