Summary 2009-09-01 cJC Accumulation under the wall f334. This number was only used for one q-lot and then f335 was accidentally used to refer to the accumulation under wall f334. For summary purposes f335 and f336 should be considered the same accumulation. [Input: T901CJC.j]

2. IDENTIFICATION

Designation

Roster Date Author Record
Description (summary) 2009-07-21 cJC This accumulation was directly under the wall f334. It abuts the west wall of the apron (f127). It comes apart in large chunks. The color is reddish with some small white spots. When picked it comes apart in a chunk. There do not appear to be any bricks acting as a foundation for the wall f334. This feature was presumably left in place to support the wall f334 which had not been removed, but it may have also formed a portion of a baulk. [Input: T721CJC.j]

3. STRATIGRAPHY

Recovery/Assignment

Roster Date Author Record
Procedures 2009-07-29 cJC This feature was accidentally confused with f335 in the field. The result of this confusion is that f336 pottery was collected using feature number f335. This is not a major problem as both f336 and f335 are accumulations associated with the wall f334. Originally f335 was just the material from inside the wall. Unfortunately because of the mix up f335 is now both the material from inside the wall as well as from immediately underneath (which should have been f336). [Input: T729CJC.j]
Harmonization 2009-09-02 cJC When we first began excavations we assigned the whole J2 area (except k13 and k100) to k54 because we did not have squares strung yet. Now that we have the squares this feature can be assigned to k14. [Input: T830CJC.j]
Problems in recording 2009-08-20 cJC This feature was confused with f335. From now on all information refering to f336 will assume that f335 and f336 are the same feature, that is, the accumulation under the wall. The feature that would have been f336 essentially no longer exists as a separate feature due to the mix-up. [Input: T820CJC.j]

Stratigraphic reasons of assignment 2009-09-16 cJC Based on ceramics, this feature is mixed EDIII and Mitanni but the Mitanni remains are probably introduced through the construction of the wall, not originally part of this deposit. Additionally, there are very few Mitanni sherds so this feature is understood to be an EDIIIB deposit. [Input: T916CJC.j]
