Description (summary) 2008-09-13 cVP Wall f166 and features associated to it, in k74. Findings inside: a small piece of crucible (q288.1) in the edge of accumulation f167. It was resting precisely over the beginning of the bricky projection of the wall, the beginning of the new glacis f187. Also, a black cylinder seal, i18, at middle high in the excavation of the accumulation f167, in an area where the consistence of the soil was more bricky than ashy. [Input: S913CVP.j]

3. STRATIGRAPHY

Spatial Aggregation

Roster Date Author Record
Nature of association 2008-09-13 cVP Glacis f107 partially covers ^wall7 and also covers ashy accumulation f167, that itself abuts the same wall. [Input: S913CVP.j]
Criteria of aggregation 2008-09-13 cVP This aggregates is not based in any functional or structural meaning, yet, but a general stratigraphical one. [Input: S913CVP.j]
Items within aggregate 2008-09-13 cVP i18 (seal) [Input: S913CVP.j]
Notes on aggregation 2008-09-13 cVP The wall was ascribed tentatively to Phase h33, more on account of stratigraphical reasons. Even if the cylinder seal found in f167 was preliminary assesed as Early Akkadian, the pottery associated with it has mitanni components. That means that the wall f166, along with glacis f187 (^glacis 3), could have been built during Phase h33, but the accumulation of ashes and bricky crups forming f167, above it, and also the upper glacis f107, ^glacis2, are Mittani. Also, we think that there could be a connection between f187 found in k74, abutting wall f166, and glacis f164 in k84; they are both red and bricky and at a similar elevation. f187 would slope down in a general SW direction.

Function

Notes on function 2008-09-07 pC a5 is probably a larger building. We have only a small portion of a wall. [Input: S902PC.j]
