a 34
nt The vessels from a room in Phase 3 (A15a34): One room in Phase 3 yielded over 40 vessels of which about 33 could be restored. These are a very important inventory of ceramics, well dated and of sufficient variety to give excellent comparative evidence for other rooms and open spaces within the Phase 3 architecture. In this corpus there are many conical cups of a type that we have already had from a both Phase 2 and Phase 3 contexts. In fact these cups are typical for the Urkesh palace. An experiment carried out by one of our students (Elaine Fuss) who is herself a potter, showed that if the clay is prepared ahead, the potter can produce 500 a day. These cups then were literally the paper cups of the day. Relatively few bowls were found in the room (10 out of the total of about 40). For the most part the room was filled with jars. This is to be expected for a storeroom. However the variety of jars is very interesting. They ranged in size from very small narrow necked jars to jars with a 50cm rim diameter. We have concluded from this that the room was used to store a variety of goods. That it was not a formal storeroom with jars lining the walls can be concluded also form the placement of the vessels. When we first discovered the deposit only the largest jars and a few cups and small bowls were visible on the surface. As we removed the vessels it became apparent that smaller vessels had originally stood near the larger jars in no discernible order. This corpus is also notable in the fact that it reflects a corpus of vessels we had from a storeroom of a private house in F1. While this room was filled with the same types of jars and cups, it also contained a number of luxury vessels.

O99 There was apparent confusion in documenting i20 (a stone basin) and i22 (a sherd).  Without great confidence, we have redesignated the sherd drawings marked to i22.
