| Daily notes about recovery of elements | 2001-09-06 | okk | After excavating it is clear that there is more of the andiron, and in better shape than we had originally thought. Whereas we had only seen about 2/3 of the andiron from above, the whole base of the andiron is preserved. sb consolidated the remainder, and we left the accumulation sitting above the bridge. After consulting with gb & mkb we decided to leave the andiron in situ. We will place sandbags around it and a bag of sand inside it, then cover it with plastic and backfill in order to preserve it from the elements. [Input: L906okk.j] |
| Strategy (projected or implemented) | 2001-09-06 | okk | Today we plan to excavate andiron i5 and remove it. sb will supervise and see what state of preservation it is in, and then decide how much we will be able to conserve. We will at least take photos of details of the inner surface and try to preserve the bridge which is decorated. [Input: L906okk.j] |

Deposition

| Assumption | 2001-07-07 | sb | Castelleti's suggestion for the andiron bin is that it looks like a fuller installation, because of the large quantity of ashes which are used elsewhere to whiten clothes. The andiron would have provided the hot water and ashes, the other cement-like basin, f26, would be to rinse. This should be linked to a cistern and drains, which seem to exist in A16. Castelleti said that the basin could have been for rinsing and scrubbing the clothes. Since it is waterproof and quite smooth - so the andiron bin could have been a storage place for ashes. Maybe the ashes are from burnt straw. We should see if under the andiron there is an ash layer. The fact that some nice ceramics were found here could be explained: after the bin was not used any more for ash deposit, they used as storage for nice, but damaged pieces, even the andiron itself.

| Notes on time sequencing | 2001-07-01 | cc | This morning Marilyn said that the vessel in the andiron room (a1) would be of the early Khabur phase. We know this because of the typology of the khabur vessels; the rim and neck are painted solid (in our case) or with 2 parallel bands of triangles belong to the earlier khabur period, while the vessels with simpler painted bands are a later Khabur period.
