This path was subsequently covered by a narrow wall f548 running E to W. This may mark the end of the period when the couryard complex ceased to be used for ceremonial purposes and subsequently began to be used domestically. f 550 ha The inital description was done at the time of excavation when the nature and function of wall f550 was being determined. Now that excavation has been completed it is clear that these stones were the foundation for a major interior E to W wall that separated the formal reception area a41 from as yet unexcavated areas north of the palace exterior south wall. f 562 df w ds This feature was initially identified as a pavement beneath wall f520. Examination of photos and other data from palace walls would indicate that these stones are the foundation for the mudbrick wall f520. f 601 df bf ds Horizontal layer of red brick, identical to that of the main portion of wall f528, but lying to the north of the main wall and its foundation. It overlays stub wall f581 and accumulation f594. wm bk tc ov f581 tc ov f594 f 602 df fi ds Unexcavated fill of pit a28. Originally this pit was discovered by unit A13 in MZ12 (1999-J). However, only the west half was excavated at that time because the east half was in the unexcavated east baulk. Upon examination of template t250 the remaining east fill can be seen as a light half circular depression remaining after the east bulk was removed as part of this unit. tc si f223 a 59 df cy ds Monumental room serving as a reception area for the adjacent formal flagstone courtyard A16a12. It comprises rooms a38 and a41 described elsewhere. It would have served as a focus of preparations for open-air royal activities. a 60 df cy ds An open area west of the Khabur indusrial courtyard, a52, containing at least three large pit kilns used to fire ceramics in the Khabur period. Additional facilites used in the manufacture of pottery there were likely destroyed by the action of the gullys a9, and a10.
