Since this square has been previosuly investigated in 2001 by a team of the university of Tubingen, directed by Prof. Peter Pfalzner, the unexcavated area in k71 is at present small, and it limited to the SE corner of k71. In particular, the extension of the unexcavated area to the W is given by r1, and, it measures 58cm W from m4254 and 300cm N to m4254 on the S. The topsoil, in the small area left to our investigation in this square, is crumble and soft in consistence and is characterized by a very loose and fine texture and by the presence of rooths, pebbles, few pottery sherds and it is light brown in color.

Pfalzner, dug a trench running W-E in this portion of the tell Terrace, T14, as visible in v6. f10 consists of large rectangular stones and of irregular ones, and the structure, seems to have a trapezoidal shape, with an orientation slightly oblique respect to the allignment of the Secondary Apron exposed in J02 area. The stones are embedded into mud mortar with small stones between the joints (characteristics that reminds the building tecnique of the secondary Apron). At present, it is unclear whether f10 continues further more to the North: in k71 f10 seems to reach its higher elevation, and no stones -at present- at visible in k70, located N and to a higher elevation respect k71. We have not dug yet in k71, and f10 seems to rest on f50 (and thus, f50 could be a possible floor surface). However, it could possibly be that f50 is an accumulation which covers the lower portion of f10 (in the S portion of the locus). f50 covers as well some isolated stones (such as f11 and f16), which probably originally belong to f10. At present, these stones have been labeled as different features from f10 since it is not clear whether they were part of f10: only by digging f50 this relationship will be clear. C40 2010-02-24_U224SC.j sC During the 2006 excavation season, we were thinking that f10 could be part of the secondary Apron as exposed in J02, altough f10 was located definitely higher in elevation respect to the Apron as it is exposed in J02 area. We noticed that this structure did not appear to continue in k81 nor in k72: this was taken as an indication that some of the stones of this portion of the secondary Apron could have been possibly moved and reused in later times. After the last two excavation seasons, however, it has been cleared that this structure is part of the revetment wall. For the new interpretation of f10, please, see area J06 f218. C99 2010-03-07_U306SC.j sC The real bottom given in the elevation description does not correspond to the real bottom of the feature, since we stop digging in this locus and did not removed completely f50. The bottom elevation reported, has thus been taken where the lowest stone of wall f10 was visible.

This stone installation, which appears to be similar to the Apron, seems to have been re-touched (possibly re-built) in later times; the allignment of the stones in the N portion of the locus have a nice arrangment while the stones in the middle portion of k71 seems to have been moved or not in their original context. f10 is cleary built on the slope of the tell, and the accumulation f50 -that goes against f10 in the S portion of k71- has not been removed. Excavations carried out in J03 and J02 Units indicate that the Apron rests on top of a glacis layer, and we think this is the case of f10. By removing f50 will be possibe to better understand whether also f10 rests on top of a glacis layer, which, has been exposed south to k71, in k72 (f127).

The topsoil is characterized by the presence of bushes, spread in the whole locus. The topsoil is very soft in consistence, and is characterized by a fine and loose texture. f15 is a bit dusty when removed and is light brown in colour.

The photo of this feature is missing since the baulk fall within the cut of the German trench T10 dug in the 2001 excavation season A98 2010-01-15_U115SC.j sC We are aware that a baulk, being part of the accumulations dug in a given square, should be dug stratigrafically in order to individuate also in this portion of the locus the features found while digging the square. However, when we removed the N baulk of k73 we decided not to excavated this portion of the locus stratigraphically; we thus assigned a feature number (f21, being aware that, as such, f21 is an an 'artificial' feature) to represent all the accumulations found within this portion of the locus and in order to keep track of the pottery and of possible items or q-items recovered while removing the baulk. B10 2010-01-15_U115SC.j sC mix B11 2010-01-15_U115SC.j sC This feature number has been assigned to the N baulk of k73. This feature consists, stratigraphically, of f3, f6, f9, f13 and f55, i.e., the features previously dug within this locus. f3, f6, f9, f13 and f55 are all natural accumulations and are all very similar in nature among them, being wind and water-born accumulations. f55, characterized by the presence of bricks fragments as visible in v100, is a feature that belongs to the erosion of the tell surface; the bricks fragments that sporadicly have been found while removing this feature, and that are cleary visible in the E section of locus k73 (cfr. v100) are probably part of the 'dump^1', a brick-melt accumulation, that interested the south area of J04 in the Late Mittani Period. C3 2010-01-15_U115SC.j sC Being f21 -stratigraphically- the sum of all the features dug in k73 (it consist of f3, f6, f9, f13 and f55), and, as such, an 'artificial' feature, we will not have a contact association between f21 and other features: we will take into consideration only the features dug within k73 and correlate them with features of neighbouring loci on the basis of the(ir) elevation and contact association. C4 2010-01-15_U115SC.j sC The N baulk of k73 has been partially excavated on Q816; on this day, we decided to 'cut' the baulk in half and use the other half as a ramp to remove the dirt from k72 and k73. We then finished to remove the portion of the baulk left as a ramp on Q823. C99 2010-01-15_U115SC.j sC f21 was not excavated stratigraphically; all the q-items, pottery sherds and bone fragments have been collected in different q-lots. While studying this material must be kept in mind that it comes from different accomulations since f21 consists of f3, f6, f9, f13 and f55, the features dug within this locus previously.

Since f50 was not removed, we cannot provide at present a proper definition for this type of accumulation: however, f50 was covered by a natural accumulation (f7) and due to the fact that in the squares around k71 and within this locus we have found -at the same elevation- features which are natural accumulations, we suppose that f50 could be a natural accumulation. The nature of this accumulation, however, will be better defined when we will investigate this feature in the next future. f50 follows the slope of the tell mound, and therefore there is a difference in elevation between the top elevation of the feature in the N and S portion of the locus. C99 2006-09-21_Q921SC.j sC The type of contact between f10 and f50 is not clear at the moment, and can be cleared only by further investigation in the locus. At present, we suppose that f10 rests in f50. C99 2010-02-12_U212SC.j sC f50 was covered by some soil (mostly wind-blown soil) since this locus was already dug in 2001. Since there was just some soil and plenty of modern rubbish within the locus, we proceed by cleaning the whole locus just removing the accomulation formed in the last 2 years without assigning any feature number, since this 'between-season' accomulation was few mm in the N portion of k70 and aprox. 2cm in the S portion of the locus (close to the S section) and no pottery was found while removing this thin layer. After the cleaning we just re-expose the surface already exposed in 2001, to which we assign f50. After the cleaning, f50 appeared to be a very compact and hard surface, due probably to its exposure to water, probably in the last 2 years. f50 seems to have a very fine texture (clayish) and is light grey in colour. C99 2010-02-12_U212SC.j sC The bottom of f50 has not been reached, since we never dug in this locus. Concernig the top elevation, it changes from the N to the S portion of the locus, since f50 follows the slope of the tell mound; in k71 there are aprox. 20-40cm of difference in elevation between the top elevation of the feature in the N and the top elevation of the feature in the S portion of the locus.

The portion of the E section of k83 left in the south portion of the locus, as visible in v26 is very small since this locus is interested by the cut of T10, a trench dug in the 2001 excavation season during a survery of the tell mound by a team of the university of Tubingen, directed by Prof. Peter Pfalzner.

When picked f61 is light brown/reddish in color while it is graysh when it dries off. This feature is characterized by the presence of phytolitics, small pebbles and pottery sherds; laminations have been noticed in the S portion of the square as well as some red lenses (indicating the presence of some isolated mud-bricks). Unlucky when we assigned f61 to the natural accumulation in k73 we were thinking to have removed completely the backfill of the 'German' trench which interests part of the N baulk of the locus (C10). This trench was dug in 2001 during a survery of the tell mound by a team of the university of Tubingen, directed by Prof. Peter Pfalzner (the trench, running W-E, is wide aprox. 100cmx100cm). However, while digging f61 we found some plastic nylon close to the NE section and thus, it is likely that f61 can be partially contaminated, in this portion of the locus, by the backfill of the German trench (C10), and it is not only a natural-accumulation. f61 consists, in the N portion of the locus, by mixed soil which is the back-fill of a trench running W-E (C10, wide aprox. 100cmx100cm). This trench was dug in 2001 during a survery of the Tell Terrace by a team of the university of Tubingen, directed by Prof. Peter Pfalzner. Therefore, f61 has partially a natural accumulation within k73 and partially mixed with the backfill of the natural-made accumulation in . However, f61 however is not only a natural accumulation, since part of the N baulk of k73 is not the rexult of a natural accumlulation but is the back-fill of a W-E trench, f65, (originally called C10, wide aprox. 100cmx100cm) dug in 2001, which partially could have contaminated the N portion of the locus. While digging f61, we noticed some fragments of nylon coming out from the N baulk of the locus (close to the NW corner of k73), which indicate that there there was the bottom of the trench dug in this portion of the Tell Terrace during the 2001 excavation season. C33 2010-01-19_U119SC.j sC Unlucky there are no close-up photos showing the nylon at the bottom of f60; this is only partially visible in J4v38a, in the NW portion of k71, where what should have been the W baulk, and in the NE portion of the locus, where a green fragment of paper is visible, close to the N section. C99 2010-01-19_U119SC.j sC In 2001 during a survey in this portion of the Tell Terrace, a trench running W-E (C10) was dug, and k73, is located partially within the cut of this trench. The area were C10 was dug, interest today the NW portion of k73, in particular, falls within the N baulk of k73. This trench was back-filled for safety reasons at the end of the 2001 excavation season (as it is possible to see in J04t4, or view 4 (V19d3005) that shows the locus before we start digging in k73). The bottom of the trench was partially covered with pieces of a wide and thick yellow nylon, as reminder of the bottom elevation reached during the investigation carried out in the locus and in view of the trench back-fill. Only a small portion of the N baulk was not back-filled (aprox. 1m W in the NW baulk), as clearly visible in view J04t4, or view 4 (V19d3005). Furthermore, view J4v38a (V19d3074), shows, although is a genearl view of k71-74, f65 (the baulk, which is, in almost his totality, the back-fill of the German trench) and the bottom of f60, with a small fragment of nylon visible in the NW portion of the locus (corresponding to the E baulk of k83), right before 'steps' made with some canvas bags. C99 2010-01-19_U119SC.j sC On Q827, while cleaning the locus thinking to have reached the bottom of f61 (at the elevation of 92.02m, on Q827), we found, in the NW corner of the square (where f61 abuts the N section of the locus) a fragment of wide and thick nylon, which is the nylon left by the German team in 2001 before back-filling the trench. At this point, the cut of the German trench in the N baulk was visible in the E portion of the baulk (we assigned f65 to the back fill, and forgot to assing a feature number to the cut). The bottom, or better, what we were thinking was the bottom f f 61 is visible in J4v38a (or V19d3074), although, unlucky we did not take any close photo of the plastic nylon, which is only partially visible in the NW portion of the locus.

It is crumby and compact in consistence, and fine in texture. It is characterized by the presence lot of pebbles (< 10cm), pottery sherds, small stones (< 1cm) and phytolits. When picked it assumes a reddish color, especially in the NW corner of the square. At the bottom elevation of q132 f63 has a platy structure, very compact in consistence, which is probably due to the presence of the phytolits. The S area of the unit, instead, is characterized by a light brown colour, it is very fine in texture (a bit clayish) and compact soil is mixed with patches of soft ones. C40 2010-03-01_U301SC.j sC By looking at the new data from the excavtions carried out in 2009, we can now say that f63 is in its lower portion a brick melt accumulation, (as visible in t100), and is probably part of the dump^1, a brick-melt accumulation found throughout the whole J06 unit which spread in the S portion of J04 area as well.

It has a platy structure once picked with the small pick and it is hard in consistence; it is very fine texture and presents patches of compact and loose soil. This feature covers a lot of sherds and broken vessels and two tannur. It has a graysh color when removed. C40 2010-02-17_U216SC3.j sC In the light of what found in J06 during the 2008-9 excavation seasons, it is probable that f64 is the top-most portion, in J04, of what in J06 Unit has been defined as 'dump^1'. In J06, the features representing the so called 'dump^1' -which is the latest level before the abandonment subsequent to the extended brickfall bf^1 (please, see J06 'dump^1' and related features for further information)- present the same characteristics and the same type of inclusions as f64, i.e.,: the soil is compact with patches of softer soil, and the soil matrix is characterized by an abundant presence of pebbles, animal bones, small and medium size stones, by a large quantity of pottery sherds and some tannur fragments and slope toward south. In J06 Unit the pottery recovered within features belonging to 'dump^1' are Mittani sherds. In digging f64, several Mittani sherds have been found (cfr. file Q903mKB) altough some later pottery sherds have been recovered as well togheter with ashes and small brick fragments, and this is due to the fact that f64 is the top-most surface of the dump, and as, such was slowly covered by natural accumulations. Above f64, we have been digging only natural accumulations which are poor in pottery sherds or materials which suggest that the area was not in use. C99 2010-02-11_U211SC.j sC The real bottom of this feature has not been reached, since we stop digging in this locus. Therefore, 91.19 does not correspond to the real bottom elevation of f64.

This trench was dug -togheter with other trenches- by a German team directed by Prof. Peter Pfalzner during the investigation of this portion of the tell mound in 2001. The fill is crumby and soft and it is charachterized by the presence of plastic bags, fragments of bricks, pebbles and stones and lot of pottery sherds. B11 2010-01-19_U119SC.j sC f65 has been assigned to the back-fill of T10, a trench running W-E dug in 2001 during a survery of the Tell Terrace by a German team. The trench, long 50cm and wide aprox. 100cm, interested the area where the N baulk of J04k83 and J04k83 was set, and stop aprox. at 50cm from the NW corner of J04k73. However, the excavations related with the trench interested as well the NW portion of the locus. While digging, we forgot to assigne a feature number to the cut of the German Trench. f65, therefore, falls within the N portion of the west baulk of k73 and portion of the NW area of the locus (i.e. 140cm S and 200cm W to m4394) as visible in v44. However, v44 has been taken when we tought to have reched the bottom of the german trench; however, while digging in that portion of the locus, we found some thick plastic nylon at the elevation of 91.15, which is therefore the real bottom elevation of the german trench (and which is lower in elevation than f61, which instead is the feature dug in the locus while we tough to have reached the bottom of the german trench as visible in v44).

The N portion of k84 was investigated in 2004 by mH as part of J02 Unit and was not covered after the excavations carried out in the 2004 excavation season. f69 is soft in consistence, crumbly when removed and fine texture. It is characterized by the presence of pottery sherds, pebbles and stones. It is light grayish in colour. C40 2010-02-17_U216SC3.j sC f69 should belong to Phase 67-MZA, stratum 12a. However, f69 has been assigned to Phase 85-MZA s1 since f69 is a natural accumulation over uncovered excavation from MZ17 in k84 and consists of wind-blown soil that build-up in the N portion of the locus in the last two years; for this reason, we treated this feature as a modern topsoil. C99 2010-01-22_U122SC.j sC What we have been investigated, in the beginning of the 2006 excavation in this locus, was a small area of k84, i.e., the N portion of k84 (1,80cm S and 400cm W to m4412): this was as well the portion of k84 investigated by mH in the 2004 excavation season. At the end of the 2006 season, this locus was not covered (cfr. J02t061), therefore, the top accumulation we met in k84 is the same of the last one excavated by mH in MZ17, with some cm of wind-blown soil fallen in the period between the two excavation seasons. XXX f69 it is thus a natural accumulation but the top-most of the feature is a recent accumulation, since this locus was previously dug by mH and aP in the 2004 excavation season, and on top of this some water-and wind born accumulations build-up in the last 2 years.

Given that this locus was partially already investigated by mH and aP in the 2004 excavation season as part of the J02 Unit, the N portion of k84 was lower in elevation (as visible in J02t061), we start digging only the N portion of this locus, which is aprox. half of the whole locus, in particular, 180m S and 400m W from marker m4412.

B11 2010-01-31_U131SC.j sC f70 has been assigned to the 'cleaning' of a small portion of locus k83, precisely: 30cm N from m4410 (the SE corner of k83) and 400cm W-E (this corresponds to the general wideness of the locus), and partially the portion of the E section of the locus (i.e., aprox. 30cm, in order to make it straight and avoid possible contamination while digging in the S portion of the locus). The south portion of locus in k83, was higher aprox. 30-40cm respect to the general elevation of locus k83, as a consequence of the excavations carried out in MZ17 in this portion of the locus (as visible in J02t61). f70 consists, in the top surface, of natural accumulations that build-up in the last two years, and of different natural accumulations (water-and wind born accumulations) that build-up this portion of the tell mound (as we have seen for all the other loci). We decided to remove the soil within this portion of the locus in a single pick-run, without differentiating between the various accumulations forming this portion of the locus in order to reach, in the south portion of k83, f71, the compact accumulation exposed in the remaining portion of locus k83. f70 therefore consists, in the top surface, of a soft and dusty accumulation, i.e., a water-and wind born accumulation that build-up here to the last two years (which is the same of f68), and by a compact surface below the latter, which is a natural accumulation (wind and water-born in nature) partially removed in the 2004 excavation season by mH.

B11 2010-01-22_U122SC.j sC f71 was assigned to the natural accumulation dug firstly in k83 in the 2006 season. This square, as visible in J02t61, was previously dug in the 2004 excavation season by mH as part of J02 Unit. Portion of the locus, as visible in J02v61, was interested by the cut of the German trench C10 dug in the 2001 excavation season; the bottom of the German trench C10 in this locus was found and reached by mH in the 2004 excavation season. For this reason, when we start digging in 2006 in this locus, k83 was cheracterized by a cut that was aprox. 100cm wide and 20-30cm high in the middle portion of the locus (relative to the bottom of the German trench C10). The features in k83, as those in k82, slope slightly toward south, following the slope of the tell mound. For this reason, the top elevation of f71 in the north portion of the locus differs from the top elevation in the south portion of he locus (there are approximately 20cm of difference in elevation). The elevation of f71 given in the 'Volumetric localization' has been taken in the middle portion of the locus.

C99 2006-09-03_Q903SC2.j sC While digging within k84, we assigned f72 to a compact accumulation which seemed to be spread in the whole locus; however, while digging f72 we noticed that, in the NE portion of the locus the soil matrix was rich in animal bones and, generally, in organic material. We did suppose, on the basis of the concentration of organic material found within the north-est portion of the locus, that it could have been part of the fill of a pit, but did not found, while digging in k84, any pit-cut; and for this reason, we did consider the feature in the whole locus to be f72, and just take a note in order to remember the amount of organic material noticed in the north-est portion of the locus. However, later, once scraping the top surfaces of the N and E baulk, we found the cut of a large pit, as clearly visible in v55, which we label as f85. By studying the material recovered within f72, it must thus be remembered that f72 includes part of the fill of pit f85.

This wall consists (at present) of a single line of limestones, generally rectangular in shape. f84 seems to have the same type of construction as f10: the stones are embedded into mud mortar with small stones between the joints. The bigger stones are aprox. 50cmx40cm in size. C99 2010-01-19_U119SC.j sC In a first moment, when we found these stones we were thinking that they could belong to a drain, rather than a wall. For this reason, we decided to removed one of the stones and check what there was underneath. From this soundjng (v69 shows the sounding done below the 4th stone of wall f84), it appeared that f84 consists of a single line of limestones; however, the nature of this feature remains unclear, being formed by only one row of stones.

However, it is important to clarify that f86 is related only with the fill of the pit in the N and E baulk of k84. This pit, in fact, was noticed only when we were scraping the top surface of the N and E baulks of k84, since, while digging f72 we noticed a concentration of animal bones in the NE portion of the locus, and thus, we thought to check the baulks in order to look for a possible pit cut. By scraping the top surfaces of the N and E baulk we then found the cut of the pit, as visible in v55. Within the fill of the pit several animal bones have been found, among which a complete skeleton of a saluki dog (i5, f96) and frog bones (i5, f96). v60 shows the bottom of the pit in the E baulk, after we removed the saluki dog skeleton (i5, f96). C99 2006-09-03_Q903SC2.j sC In light of the fact that we did not found the pit while digging within k84, f72 includes part of the fill of pit f85. The pit is aproximately 40cm deep (in its deepest point).

It is not complete. Inside it, there is a pebble floor (f143), which continues to the W. On the N part of the bin there is a mud brick wall (f161 and f162): together with f161 and f162, f93 forms a half mond. B11 2010-02-14_U214SC.j sC f93 as been assigned to a mud-brick structure, semicircular in shape, that we defined as 'bin'. f93 is bounded -in the north- with a brick-wall f161-f162 (f162 is the less preserved portion of the mud-brick wall f161) which apparently, seems to have the function of being the north limit of the bin itself. This hypotesis is given by the fact that the bottom of wall f161 and f162 presents some small rounded stones (as it is visible in v61b and v61c) which characterized the lower portion of the bin walls as well (as visible in v70 and v74). The bin consists of 2 lines of medium small bricks, placed one on top of the other; the lower row of bricks is placed on top of a row of small-regular stones (as it is visible in v70 and v74); the two different construction materials have been probably used at the same time. At present is unclear whether the bin is damage or was open: it seems to be a bit damaged in its south-east extent, where the second line of bricks was not found in place while the first line of bricks was completely melted, disappearing completely in the floor surface (f171). It is however possible that the bin could have been open in its west extent, aprox. at the same point where the north baulk of k84 is located, which gives to the structure a half-moon shape. The bin floor is made of soil in the east and of pebbles (f143) in the west; while digging, some pottery sherds were found within the pebbles of floor f143. f143, the pebble floor, however, is not limited to the bin but it extends toward the west (in locus k83) where it is surrounded by medium-sized stones and partially covered by large stones (in the north portion of locus k83). All the feature connected with the bin have been grouped into a2. C99 2010-02-14_U214SC.j sC All of the pottery sherds found within the pebble floor of the bin (f143) have been collected and analyzed by mKB. C99 2010-02-14_U214SC.j sC The bin was empty and the funcion of this structure is unclear; however, given this structure and the structures found in locus k62 and the tannurs located on top of walls f161-f162 and on the E baulk of k73, we assumed that it could have been used for storage purposes.

B11 2010-01-20_U120SC.j sC This feature number has been assigned to the cleaning of a small portion of the W baulk of k83. This feature consists, stratigraphically of the natural accumulations found within locus k82 (f51 and f75), located slightly north to the remainin portion of the W baulk of k83. ; f94, being exposed since the 2004 scavation season, is crumble and soft in consistence and fine in texture. C3 2010-01-20_U120SC.j sC We assigned a feature number to the cleaning of the E baulk in order to keep track of the pottery recovered while removing the small portion of the E baulk of k82 (which is, mainly, some cm of soil abutting J02w^129 and the starcaise J02f130. As such, f95 is an 'artificial feature' and for this reason, this feature number will not be included in the Strata Assignment and we will not have a contact association between f94 and other features.

It is crumbly in consistence and very dusty when removed. It is very fine in texture and light brown in colour. It is characterized by the presence of sporadics roots. Close to the NW section a concentration of small irregular stones mixed with some soil, was noticed and later on we assigned to this a feature number (f166). C40 2010-07-04_U625SC3.j sC f116, is a natural accumulation under the topsoil (f115) in the whole investigated portion of k70; f116 does not extend to the NW portion of k70, where a soil mixed with loose small stones have been found, and labeled as different feature (f166) at home, once we start the check of the field documentation. The feature number to the stones found in the NW portion of k70 has been assigned on the light that: these small stones could be possibly part of the stone installation f10 located in k71 (as visible in v67 and relative subviews) or of a re-arrangment of this stone structure. The arrangment of these small stones reminds that of the line of small and irregular stones exposed in the north baulk of k82 (as visible in v19 and related subviews). C99 2010-07-04_U625SC3.j sC In the beginning, while digging f116, the feature below the topsoil, we just noticed the presence of small irregular stones close to the NW section of the locus. Being these loose and small stones within the soil matrix, we did not think to attribuite any feature number to the concentration of stones found here. These were, in fact, concentrated in a very small area (very close to the west section of the locus) with the maximum extension being aprox. 40-30cm from the west section toward the south portion of the locus (at aprox. 130cm from the north limit of the locus), and its maxium width aprox. 20-25 in north portion of the locus. We thus continued digging in this locus keeping f116 as main feature within the portion investigated. Whithin the feature description, we take note that some of the stones located in the NW portion of the locus appeared to be bigger size (at the elevation of 94.43), and that, by looking at this portion of the locus from the top, it seemed that these stones followed a line, apparently following the allignment of f10, although, there was an evident gap between the two features (f166 is aprox. 130cm north and 40cm west from the NW corner of the locus, thus, was not connected with the area where f10 was exposed) and besides the fact that the type of material construction was completely different among the two. While going down in removing f116, we found the same concentration of small stones for aprox. 30cm in the same portion of the locus, with the same characteristics, i.e., small loose stones mixed with soil; the concentration of the small stones was very consistent for the top 20cm from the elevation of 94.43, then the stones were fewer in number and the area within the locus where they were found diminuished visibly, and was limited to an area aprox. 100cm north and 30cm west from the NW corner of k70. Later on, while scraping the west section of the locus, was cleary visible that the area where we previously noticed the concentration of small irregular stones seemed to reproduce the same allignment of the topmost face of f10, and thus, we decided to assigne a feature number to the concentration of small stones noticed while digging f116, and still visibile in the section (cfr. 67 and relative subviews).

C40 2010-01-21_U121SC.j sC On the basis of the excavations carried out in J06 unit, located immediately south to the area where J04 unit was set (J06 unit subsumed some J04 loci, i.e., J04k64-84 and thus J04k100), it is now possible to better define this feature, rich in brick fragments. f121 is part of the extended brick-fall named as bf^1 and bf^2 found throughout the whole J06 unit (and partially in the J07 unit as well) during the 2007-8 excavation seasons (bf^1 is a brickmelt accumulation and it is the topmost face -in its top 70 cm- of bf^2). The brickfall bf^2 in J06 is thought to be originated from structures of small buildings located on the east respect the area where J06 unit was set, which could possibly be connected with the residencial area C2 (cfr. J06 bf^2); the collapse of these structures, defined as brickfall bf^2, covered a vast area, today falling within the portion of the tell mound where J06, J07 and J02 units were set. k100 was subsumed in the 2008 excavation season within J06 unit as J06k84, and re-examinated. Thus, different features numbers have been attribuited -while digging in this locus in the last two years- respect to the layers already found in the 2006 excavation season. The topmost portion of f121 seems to be the same as J06f53 and J06f55; while the portion of f121 'located' at the elevation of 89.70 (and below) seems to be the same of J06f164. J06f53 and J06f55 are part of the brickfall bf^2 and are characterized by the presence of complete bricks and brick fragments (these are thought to come from a structure located on the east, perhaps in J06k74). On the basis of the elevation, and being f121 similar -in its soil matrix- to features J06f53 and J06f55, I think that the top portion of f121 is the same as J06f53 and J06f55, and thus, it is possible to ascribe the top portion of this feature to s19b and s19c (Phase 63-MZA). In the bottom portion, i.e., in the last 10cm, f121, instead, is the same of f150, and, the same of J06 f164 as well, this on the basis of the elevation: top elevation J06 f164 is 88.65, bottom elevation of J04 f121 is 88.54. On the basis of the elevation and of the similarity of the soil matrix between f121 with J06 f164, it is possible to ascribe the lower portion of f121 to s49 (Phase 32-MZA). C99 2010-03-01_U301SC.j sC f121 slopes sharply toward the south portion of the locus; for this reason, the top elevation in the north portion of the locus differs quite a lot from the top elevation in the south portion of the locus, as visible in view v84 and related subviews; there is aproximately 100cm of difference in elevation. The bottom elevation of f121 given here, has been taken aprox. 50cm from the south baulk, therefore, the bottom elevation of the feature in the south baulk of the locus should be aproximately 20cm lower than 88.46, as visible in v84a and v84c and v94. v84c and v94 show cleary well the slope of the feature in the south portion k100.

C40 2010-02-28_U226SC.j sC f124, very fine in texture, compact and hard with laminations, sloped toward the south portion of the locus and was overlayed by f121. f121 is part of the brickfall J06 bf^2 in J04 area. It is thus possible to say that f124 is very similar to J06f90, and that could be possibly part of the fire spread in the J06 area before the brickfall bf^2. C40 2010-03-16_U315SC.j sC It could be that f124 is a small shallow pit that has been only partially dug in 2006 and not recognize as a pit since most of it was underneath the N baulk of the locus, and we just uncovered a small portion of it. From v84 and v84a, where f124 is cleary visible in the top-surface, it appears that this feature, considered as a ash layer, could be the fill of a shallow pit. While removing f121, however, was no visible any cut that could be possibly interpreted as the cut of a pit (as visible in v65 and v70).

We recognise this feature to be the glacis layer (i.e., a coating hard surface done with mud mixed to small calcite inclusions and small sherds) that it has been already exposed in J03 area in the previous days. In the south portion of the locus (toward walls f161, f162) f127 is slightly eroded, and there a sherd floor (f154) has been exposed. The glacis layer is very hard and compact; the very topmost surface flakes off after exposition, although it is very compact, and comes apart in chunks; sometimes, the top surface flakes off just by walking on top of it. C99 2010-02-04_U204SC.j sC f127, as already said, slopes sharply toward the East portion of the locus. The glacis layer follows as well the slope of the tell surface, which, in this locus presents a discrete difference in elevation between the top elevation in the north portion of the locus and the top elevation in the south portion of the locus (there are approximately 20cm of difference between the top elevation in the north respect to the top elevation in the south portion of the locus). The elevation of f127 given as main, has been taken in the north portion of the locus. C99 2010-02-16_U216SC3.j sC f127 in k72, which is the glacis layer was layed on top of the mound in Phase 63-MZA, is the same as f177 in k82. We assigned two different feature numbers to this glacis layers because this feature was initially dug in two different loci and being overlayed by the E baulk of k82 (f123); once f123 was removed, appeared that f127 was clear that f77 was the same as f127.

In spite of the fact that this portion of the locus, kept until present, as a baulk consists of the sum of all the features dug in k84 (such as, f87, f88), we did not remove them stratigraphically once removing this baulk, because the features that build-up this portion of the locus are all very similar among them, being all natural accumulations (wind- and waterborn).

C40 2010-02-28_U226SC.j sC f139, with its 5 stones have a very nice W-E allignment, which suggest that they were intentionally placed, possibly as a part of a wall or enclosure.They seems to be the southern limit of the area used in the Middle Mittani period (s14c), area in which different structures were built, i.e., the bin (and related floor surfaces, a2) and all the other mud-brick structures built in loci k72 and k73. South of these stones, have been dug only natural accumulations with no sign of use of this portion of area, besides some (dump) pits. As it is cleary visible in v73d, f139 seems to extend until the bin installation; it is possible that the two medium-sized and rectangular stones south to f171 (which has been assigned to a melted bricky accumulation, which is probably what remains of the bin brick walls in this portion of the locus) which appear to bein line with f139 are part of the same stone structure/wall.

These stones are located at the same elevation and have the same allignment of f139, the 5 large limestones in the north portion of k83. f140 falls within the E baulk of k83, and is located E to f139 and S of f93 (the bin structure located in k73, that, togheter with a series of stones forms a2). The south allignment of the stones forming f140 is given by two relays, n. r95 -taken on the SE corner of f140.3- and r96, -taken on the NE corner of f140.5-). C40 2010-03-06_U306SC.j sC f140 has been assigned to three stones that have been found in the SE extend of the bin; I suppose these stones belong to the line of stones that are visible in the lower portion of the bin, on top of which have been placed the two rows of bricks that made up the bin walls, as visible in t76. For this reason, I consider f140 to be all the line of stones that are part of the bin, as it is cleary visible in v73d. f140.1-3 has been assigned to the three stones still in place in the SE extend of the bin, where, the walls of the bin are melted (f171); f140.1-3 are the small regular-sized stones close to the slighty bigger and rectangular shaped stones, right below f171.

Within the floor surface some pottery sherds -lying flat- were found; these were concentrated in the NE portion of the floor, close to wall f162. f143 is surrounded by several stones, some of which, seems to limit the extension of the pebble floor, as visible in v62. These stones, which differs in type and size, are the following: f140 (which consist of 3 small size stones) in k73 seems to be the limit of f143, f139 (consisting of 4 medium-size stones) and f141 (which consist of 4 small and medium-size stones) both in k83, seems to be the limit of f143 on the W. f146 (which is relative to a series of small size stones, all placed down in a line with a W-E andament) represents the N limit of the pebble floor in k73. Partially, f148 (which has been assigned to a series of stones found on top of some of the stones of 146) seems to limit as well f143 in the N portion of k83 and k73. Within f143, some larger stone are embedded: these are f144 (in k83, which constitues as well the south limit of the pebble floor), f145 in k83 and f142 (consisting of 2 small size stones) in k73. The SE limit of the pebble floor is given by the mud-bricks walls of f93, the bin; the bin, as clearly visible in view v71a, is located on top of a row of small stones. Within f143, some larger stone are embedded, as visible in view v97: these are f144 (in k83) and f142 (in k73). In the south portion of k73, north to stones f140 and f139, f143 is partially overlayed by a layer which is a melted brick accumulation, f171: this layer is probably what remains of the south-west portion of the bin walls. f143 apparently is cut in k83, right where f141.3 and f144 are located.

This wall consists (as visible at present) of a single line of limestones which are embedded into mud mortar with some small stones between the joints. The wall is approxim. 13 stones in total: most of them seems to be irregular in shape, with some rectangular in shape. The bigger stone (f146.5 in k83) is aproximately 80cm long and 30cm wide. On top of some of the stones belonging to f146 rest some small-size stones, rounded in shape (these have been defined as f148). This wall is not perfectly W-E alligned. In the west the stones belonging to f146 appear to be disturbed, whit some large gaps between one stone and another, while in k73, south of wall f161-f162, the stones belonging to f146 are nicely alligned, besides of being more regular in shape and similar among them in dimensions. C99 2010-01-23_U123SC.j sC At present we do not know the real nature of f146. f146 is a line of stones, adjacent to and parallel to f161 (the bricky wall). f146 is in line with a step of the Apron and it is composed by large limestones, very similar and regular dimensions. f146 could therefore belong to a step of the Apron "used" in a later phase either in the period of use of the bin installation, or f146 could have been built in a later period (in a period of rebuilding activities associated probably with the extension of the revetement wall). It could be that f146 has been placed on top of the revetement wall. C99 2010-03-05_U305SC.j sC It could be that we have made a mistake in labeling f146 all the stones having the W-E andament in k83 and k73. It could be that the first 5 stones of f146 located in k83, which are not perfectly alligned, could be part of another structure. Wall f146 as it is exposed in k73 N, is characterized by stones that are more nicely alligned, very similar in size and shape among them. Furthermore, the west extent seems to be 'divided' from the east portion of wall f146 by two large limestones: f145 and f147.

This feature consists of a deposit where it is not possible to recognize individual bricks but in which it is clear that the soil matrix consists of bricky material. f150, as f121, slopes sharply toward the south portion of the locus, as visible in v84 and v84a, and is dark red in colour. Its top-most surface is very compact, but, once removed it is very soft and fine in texture; f150 is very wet. C33 2010-03-07_U306SC.j sC As said, f150 was characterized by the presence of brick fragments. These were concentrated particulary in a small area close to the N section of k100 (70cm W and 50cm S from r89); a general and a particular view of this part of the feature were taken, but unlucky both viewa are unfocused. The general view is v82, while the tide view on the bricks is v82a; a tide shot was taken to part of the feature where some ash mixed with brick fragments were noticed, v82b. Unlucky, all these photos are not well focused. C40 2010-03-31_U331SC.j sC Thanks to the excavations carried out in k100 in 2008 and 2009 (during these excavation seasons k100 was incorporated within J06 unit as k84), it has been possible to understand the nature of J04 f150, J04 f158 and J04 f160 (and partially the lowest portion of f121), i.e., the layers found while doing the deep sounding in J04 k100. As seen, J04 f150, J04 f158 and J04 f160 are the same of J06f164 which is a glacis layer (cfr. J06^glacis 3) made to protect a stone wall located on the west, J02 f129. The pottery recovered within J06f164 revealed Chalcolithic sherds, dating this and other layers related with this (cfr. for example, J06 f158, J06 f168, J06 f164 and all the features within s49 in J06 unit) back to the 3rd millennium BC (cfr. analysis of the pottery on S901 by MKB) thus revealing that in this portion of the tell mound 3rd millennium BC layers were located right below Mittani accumulations. C99 2010-03-05_U305SC.j sC f150 slopes toward the south portion of the locus, as visible in v84 and v84a; for this reason there is a difference between its top elevation in the north portion of the locus from the top elevation in the south portion of k100: there are approximately 15cm of difference in elevation. The bottom elevation of f150 reported in the 'Volumetric localization' has been taken in the N portion of the locus (the top elevation in the bottom portion of the locus is therefore lower, around 90.43).

It is characterized by the presence of brick fragments, which are concentrated in a small area close to the N section of k100, as visible in v85. The feature is very compact and hard in consistence, but, once removed, it is very crumbly; among the soil matrix stone fragments (small in dimensions, some of which were aprox. 10cm), chalcite pebbles and phytolits have been noticed. The feature slopes toward the S portion of the locus, and the difference between the top elevation in the N portion of the locus is of 13cm respect to the top elevation in the S portion of the locus. C33 2010-02-28_U226SC.j sC As said in the description of f158 this feature was characterized by the presence of brick fragments, phytolits and small stone fragments. These were concentrated particulary in a small area close to the N section of k100 (70cm W and 50cm S from r89); a general and a particular view of these elements within the feature were taken, but unlucky both are unfocused; the general view is v85, while the tide view (showing the phytolits) is v85a. C40 2010-03-31_U331SC.j sC Thanks to the excavations carried out in k100 in 2008 and 2009 (during these excavation seasons k100 was incorporated within J06 unit as k84), it has been possible to understand the nature of J04 f150, J04 f158 and J04 f160 (and partially the lowest portion of f121), i.e., the layers found while doing the deep sounding in J04 k100. As seen, J04 f150, J04 f158 and J04 f160 are the same of J06f164 which is a glacis layer (cfr. J06^glacis 3) made to protect a stone wall located on the west, J02 f129. The pottery recovered within J06f164 revealed Chalcolithic sherds, dating this and other layers related with this (cfr. for example, J06 f158, J06 f168, J06 f164 and all the features within s49 in J06 unit) back to the 3rd millennium BC (cfr. analysis of the pottery on S901 by MKB) thus revealing that in this portion of the tell mound 3rd millennium BC layers were located right below Mittani accumulations. This explains now better why, in the pottery analyzed during the 2006 excavation season, there were Mittani sherds mixed with Chalcolithis, which was not really clear at that time.

The feature seems to slope toward the south portion of the locus, which suggests that f160 could follow the slope of the tell mound as we have seen in the cases of the other features dug within locus k100: f158, f150 and f121; however, the portion of f160 exposed is too small for any further interpretation. f160 is very fine and clayish, dark brown in colour and is very wet. C40 2010-03-31_U331SC.j sC Thanks to the excavations carried out in k100 in 2008 and 2009 (during these excavation seasons k100 was incorporated within J06 unit as k84), it has been possible to understand the nature of J04 f150, J04 f158 and J04 f160 (and partially the lowest portion of f121), i.e., the layers found while doing the deep sounding in J04 k100. As seen, J04 f150, J04 f158 and J04 f160 are the same of J06f164 which is a glacis layer (cfr. J06^glacis 3) made to protect a stone wall located on the west, J02 f129. The pottery recovered within J06f164 revealed Chalcolithic sherds, dating this and other layers related with this (cfr. for example, J06 f158, J06 f168, J06 f164 and all the features within s49 in J06 unit) back to the 3rd millennium BC (cfr. analysis of the pottery on S901 by MKB) thus revealing that in this portion of the tell mound 3rd millennium BC layers were located right below Mittani accumulations.

While scraping the top surface and the side-face of the wall, several bricks with the mortar between the joints was noticed; the wall is made of three row of bricks (light brown and reddish in colour) and grey thick mortar in between. C99 2010-03-01_U301SC.j sC This wall was noticed during the 2006 excavation season while removing f93, the accumulation within locus k73; however, we did not clarifyed its limits when we stop digging in this locus. Up to present, it is unclear whether this is part of a wall or part of the brickfall bf^2. The east section of k73, as visible in view v101, shows clearly some complete bricks lying in a oblique way, noticed while digging. Their orientation indicate that they could have been part of a fallen structure, and could possibly belong to f170 or a structure associated with f170. f170, although is only parially preserved, seems however to be in its original location, and this seems to corroborate the idea that in locus k72 and k73 in Phase 65-MZA (in substratum s16b-c) several mud-brick structures were in use in J04 unit. Wall f170 is located at the same elevation as the bin (f93) and the wall north to the bin (f161-f162) and the tannurs within k72 (f112, f152): all these structures form a2. C99 2010-03-07_U306SC.j sC The real bottom of f170 has not been reached, since we stop digging in this locus. Therefore, the bottom reported is related with the lower elevation reached in this locus during this excavation season; it has been taken where the lowest brick of wall f170 was visible and does not correspond to the real bottom of the feature.
