2. IDENTIFICATION

Designation

Roster Date Author Record
Description (summary) 2008-08-10 lH Compact lamination, in the eastern half including the eastern baulk of k33. The pickman noticed that it`s softer than the previous natural accumulation, f124. It was formed by grains, nodules, sand and pebbles. It`s full of Mittani style pottery sherds. Also we found some animal teeth and bones for different kinds of animals (prbably donkey and rodent..). This feature lay below the compact natural accumulation of f124, while it covers a layer of natural accumulation, f128, which appears in the western section of k23. It also abuts the stones of f126 in the eastern baulk of k33. [Input: S810LH.j]
