Summary 2007-08-01 sC Large pit in k108. f189, toghether with all the layers and accumulation which constituite its filling, have been grouped into a13. [Input: R730SC.j]
2007-08-06 sC f189 has been assigned to the cut of a large pit (containing only Khabur material) located in k108. Within this pit, several layers and different accumulations have been exposed while digging, being the fill of the pit. These different layers and accumulations are the following: f149, f218, f181, f157 (=which is the same as f280), f176, f177, f161 (=which is the same as f238), f171, f185, f183, f212, f239, f240, f241, f242, f243, f244 and f187. In v139 (which shows the NE section of k108) are clearly visible f189, the large pit-cut, as well as the various accumulations and layers which form the pit fill. All these features, being different fills of f189, have been therefore grouped toghether into a13. In the UGR a13 as well as f189 is often referred as 'large Khabur pit', since all the material recovered during the excavation of the various pit fills is dated to the Khabur period. Furthermore, during the 2002 excavation season, while continuing digging in the E portion of k108, it has been clearified that several features, which were though to be part of a pit here located (labeled as a17), are instead part of the large Khabut pit f189, and therefore a17 has been unified into a13. v134a shows very well the relationship between a13 and a17.

Recovery/Assignment

Roster Date Author Record
Daily notes about recovery of elements 2001-08-02 lr While excavating inside k108 we noticed a clear line forming a circular pattern, which we defined as the cut of the pit/hollow a13. This cut links all the material in former k2 and k6 (below a11 and a2) together since it all belongs to the same pit a13. A hard compact reddish-brown material that forms a massive accumulation measuring approximately 50cm in thickness marks this cut. The material inside the circle (the fill) peels away easily from the red material and also curves slightly in at the base. The fill inside the circle is gray-brown, softer and full of pottery and bones. While removing the fill of a13 we did encounter a layer of chunky hard clay. [Input: L815LR.j]
