nr This jar rim was washed out in the winter between MZ21 and MZ22 (2008-2009). It was brought to the house by the workmen and put in the object room to be recorded. It has already been relayed in the field so its removal in the winter is not a problem. It appears to be only a rim with no known associated body sherds. The locus k6 where i4 was found was excavated as part of J2 in MZ22. 
ds This jar rim is likely part of the brickfall that came across the trench, k200, from the southeast.

sm This feature is the human skull of a child. It appears to be part of the brickfall and not a burial. Another human skull (i3) was found in the same locus and lR says that there are also human bones in the bone lots although they were not relayed individually. It is likely that the brickfall came from structures associated with burials. 
P99 This item was sent to the human bone lab for further analysis. Only one of the three human skulls found in J7 was analyzed. See i3 for further descriptions. 
sg These bones were sent to lR for further analysis but were badly damaged.

-dy cJC excavated north of the cranium (i3) to the baulk and found no mandible or cervical vertebra furthermore I checked several animal q-lots and found them full of human bones including an almost complete femur and a complete mandible!! This suggests that the massive brickfall of J7 and J6 washed down human bones from presumably the east (via the slope of the brickfall seen in area J6 section (J6 k86, J6 k87), given the depth of the cranium (elevation?) excludes these bones as modern most likely dating to the late Khabur (Old Babylonian) period similar to A16 where funerary structures were found covered by a thick brickfall from the east that also washed down bones. Unfortunately due to the excavation project goals to rapidly excavate J7 sacrificing documentation for a view of the temple stairs, no relays were taken or are planned to be taken for disarticulated or isolated human bones. I will try to reconstruct the location of these bones via the feature log and q-log but think that no elevations were recorded, resulting in a loss of provenience. Luckily cJC kept bone lots for J7.

-dy Although the human bones were not relayed individually (as they were not identified as human bones in the field) the elevations of the q-lots were recorded and thus some provenience can be determined.
