Stratum (to which element belongs) 2010-07-29 pC s16aJ6A [Input: U815PC.J]
Phase (to which element belongs) 2010-07-29 !! h7eJ6A [Input: U815PC.J]
Stratigraphic reasons of assignment 2008-09-21 pC brickfall located above the ^glacis1. It is the same as J2f208, located in front of the apron, when it was almost compleatly visible, therefore this event of collapse dates to the middle of mittani [Input: S921PC.J]
Typological reasons for assignment 2008-07-24 mKB other features in this stratum should be checked for date [Input: S815MKB.J]
2008-09-21 pC dated to Mittani for the pottery [Input: S921PC.J]
