Fill in the cut, f40 was a modern deposit, f82. a 17 nl The excavator designated f113 and f114 as the sole components of a house. Both are accumulations and are not suited for this. Perhaps the references were wrong, but since there are no photographs one must conclude that this is an invalid label. a 20 df bu ha The listed components of this burial include two sets of human remains, f52 and f56. However there is not discussion of similarities or differences and the photograph, v81 seems to show only one skeleton. a 24 df bu li The only component in the sole excavation photo of a24 depicts the excavation of spouted jar i69. Neither the grave nor the human remains, i71 have been photographed or drawn. i 59 =l i72 f 592 df is ds Sump-like depression measuring about 2 sq meters sunk into floor f554 and drained by f584. May be associated with well f145 to the south. Bordered on the west by a line of stones which may indicate that at one time it extended further that way f 382 nv Stated elevation of 8957 is wrong. Should be about 8824. v 183 nr This view was taken at the onset of excavations in season 2003-N. Unit A15 had lain dormant for two years and had been covered for preservation. This particular spot was the northeast corner at the junction of units A16 and A15, and encompassed the formal palace courtyard, A16a12. After going out of use, it was gradually covered with accumulations. In successive occupation periods, pits were dug down to the level of the courtyard and stones were robbed. This corner was an example, and it was exposed by two teams, one working from the top and another from the side. Neither documented the complete situation and it could not be fully understood. ha This view confirms that pit a11 was filled with ashy soil, f131. However, it stops at the top of the collapsed section of wall f528. Below this point, the cut in courtyard floor, f216, is filled by a completely different soil, f365. One must conclude that the phase 5 pit a11, near Khabor kilns, did not reach the courtyard and that an earlier pit, here designated a55 (with cut f595 and fill f365), was cut to rob courtyard stones in phase 4. f 594 df aa ds Abandonment accumulation covering formal courtyard flagstone floor, f216 (and A16a12). Seen along the northern and eastern edges of the NE corner of k1. f 595 df pt-c ds Cut for pit a55. tc cu f528 tc cu f594 a 55 df pt-a ds Pit with cut, f595, and fill, f365, cut into phase 2 and phase 3 accumulations, apparently with the intent of robbing stones of the Tupkish palace formal courtyard paving, f216. It is directly beneath Khabur pit a11. op Another interpretation is that could be the lower extension of pit a11. f 581 df w ha Review of views, including v104a, v183, and v250 indicate that what we defined as a crude stub-wall, f581, is in fact the foundation for a major brick stub-wall running E to W that, with wall f582, framed the entrance to the formal Tupkish palace courtyard, A16a12. During the excavation of f531 we erroneously removed some of its stones and mortar.
