Recovery/Assignment

Roster Date Author Record
Daily notes about recovery of elements 2001-06-11 lR The ceramic vessel is still in the ground and we are excavating the area around it trying to find the floor in which the vessel sits on. The conservator sb suggested that we still have another 15 to 20cm until we reach the base of the vessel. [Input: L630TR.j]
2001-06-12 lR Even though we have temporarily limited excavations in A16 to catch up with data entry, we will still excavated f3 to find the base of i2. [Input: L630TR.j]
2001-06-12 sB The Khabur jar is still in place and is very large. The upper part is already at the lab being restored. [Input: L630TR.j]
2001-06-14 lR i2 is standing upright next to the wall running E-S and has three dark decoration bands on the vessel. We removed i2 since the bottom was smashed inwards and were afraid that the sherds might be lost if left in place. Inside the fill f23, we found seeds, pottery, a grinding stone fragment, and one tooth. We probably should have left the base of i2 in place since we have not yet found the floor, but was afraid that the bottom sherds would get lost since there were many small pieces; an indentation remains where the base was standing. We took a photo, v2 and v2a of the area showing both i1 and i2 in place and the relationship between the two bones (mandible and the vertebra column), which are not next to each other and suggest that they do not belong to the same skeleton. [Input: L630TR.j]
Harmonization 2007-07-19 cJC Two definitions were given and jar was selected as the respresentative definition as it is more precise than the generic form, ceramic vessel. Both definitions have been retained. [Input: R719CJC.j]
