2. IDENTIFICATION

Designation

Roster Date Author Record
Description (summary) 2008-08-03 lH Compact crust between the eastern border of k43 and the eastern face of the lower stone installation, f91. It was probably formed by melted brick, because we found some horizontal lines which imply the existence of organized mudbrick. It was discovered under the soft powdery lamination, f95, which included many Mittani-style pottery sherds. [Input: S803LH.j]
