Stratigraphic reasons of assignment 2009-09-16 cJC Dated to EDIIIA based on ceramics [Input: T916CJC.j]
Typological reasons for assignment 2009-09-18 mKB q900-p1 late Ninevite V decorated with incised and grooved decoration; -p2 globular jar with square rim [Input: T920MKB2.j]
Other reasons, reservations, qualifications 2009-09-18 mKB if the globular jar with square rim began to be made in Phase 3h (at this point we have no evidence for this)then this feature and feature 388 could be dated to Phase 3h [Input: T920MKB2.j]
2011-05-16 cJC Based on ceramics, presence of Ninevite 5 sherds [Input: V516CJC.j]
2011-11-21 cJC This feature was possibly thought to be EDIII, but further examination indicates a presence of Late Ninevite 5 incised and grooved sherds. As a result this feature was assigned to the late Ninevite 5. [Input: VY21CJC.j]
Notes on time sequencing 2009-09-18 mKB probably Phase 3s [Input: T920MKB2.j]
