Description (summary) 2009-08-01 jW The floor accumulation above the surface of what may be an early escarpment to the northern part of wall, f41, in k33. It is covered by accumulation, f137, which is equal to f74 in k105. [Input: T801JW.j]

3. STRATIGRAPHY

Recovery/Assignment

Roster Date Author Record
Argument 2009-08-06 jW mKB examined the pottery from one lot from this floor accumlation to help determine the period of use of the floor, f230, which it covered. Floor f230 is important because it is the first surface below staircase, f21, and predates it. Since f230 also abuts wall, f41, which predates f21, it might possible to help date f41 by dating f229. The sherds from f229 were solidly Mittani, meaning only that f41 was built on or before that period. [Input: T806JW.j]
