Stratigraphic reasons of assignment	2025-09-11	yM	Accumulation layer f50 goes against the wall and is not removed yet. This feature is dated to the Imperial Akkadian period. Considering the morphological features and location of the wall, provides more evidence for the stratigraphical assignement. [Input: ZJ911yM.j]

Function

Roster	Date	Author	Record
Notes on function	2025-09-11	yM	I was preiviously thought that this wall might be a part of the secondary Apron of J2, as the building technique and specular assumption were considered. However, it was then established that it is not part of the Apron, but it probably constitute an extention of the revetment wall, forming the eastern boundery of the temple complex. [Input: ZJ911yM.j]
