Notes on time sequencing 2008-09-03 lH On S903 a draft revision of the phase sequence for the Mittani horizon stated that the stone installation, f71 in k43, belonged to Mittani phase 7b. However, lH and jW believe that f71 belongs to a Middle Assyrian phase. The stone installation, f28 in k44, is linked to the stone installation, f71, by the threshold in between, f163. The natural accumulation, f42 in k34, includes Middle Assyrian pottery sherds, and it is equal to the natural accumulation, f57. The stone installation, f28, overlays accumulation, f57. According to this evidence, the entrance, ^ f163, and the accumulations, f42 and f57, should all be dated to a Middle Assyrian phase. [Input: S903LH.j]
