Back to top: Strata for Unit J5
Introduction
The strata in J5 are divided amongst several phases. The majority of the J5 materials excavated so far date to Phase 3, or Phase 7. These phases correspond to the EDIII and Mittani periods respectively. Originally numbered 1 thru 24 during the excavation, they were re-numbered from 00 to 850 to match the phases in the overall JPD sequence.
