Description (summary) 2009-09-14 cJC Curtain wall built in front of the revetment wall, perpendicular to ^wall3 during the Mittani period. It was presumably built to screen off the bottom of the revetment wall. It was used until it collapsed and was covered over by brickfall. [Input: T914CJC.j]

Strata (included within phase) 2009-09-14 cJC s190J2B [Input: T914CJC.j]
Stratigraphic reasons of assignment 2009-09-14 cJC Because the brickfall comes over this wall after it already collapsed it is presumed to be dated to an earlier Mittani phase. [Input: T914CJC.j]
Typological reasons for assignment 2009-09-14 cJC The ceramics found in and around this wall were mixed EDIII and Mittani. The excavators suggested that this may because the wall was placed on top of EDIII deposits and those deposits might have been disturbed during construction and incorporated. [Input: T914CJC.j]
