Summary 2009-09-09 cJC Thick deposit of several natural accumulations. This feature was created by several different depositional events but was excavated as one feature. It has many flaky layers and breaks apart into layers very easily. [Input: T901CJC.j]

2. IDENTIFICATION

Labeling

Roster Date Author Record
Notes on labeling 2009-08-03 cJC When we were excavating this layer it appeared to be one feature, however, in the west section we were later able to define some subtle differences. Therefore we will assign new feature numbers in k5 to the different layers that composed f357 in k110 and more than one layer in k5 will be equal to f357 in k110. [Input: T803CJC.j]

Designation

Roster Date Author Record
Description (summary) 2009-08-01 cJC This feature is a flaky gray layer that covers all of k110. Portions of this feature were exposed for several seasons as this is the elevation at which the previous J2 excavations ended. It has a gray surface but when picked it comes part in flat layer. The layers are sandy with red and white inclusions. It is very coarse. [Input: T801CJC.j]

Typological reasons for assignment 2009-09-18 mKB q858-p6 coarse red-brown flat base with depression around the base, Ninevite V type; q859-p7 bowl with square rim but thinner than some examples of this bowl type and with very slight curvature on the upper part of the exterior similar to J1 f341 q1289-p2; q841-p4 Late Chalcolithic jar; q859-p10, -p11, -p12 flat base with wheel marks from a cup or bowl with swollen lower body walls; q859-p4 narrow necked jar with flat rim; q859-p5 bowl with rxtended square rim; q858-p5 narrow necked jar with rounded rim and globular body [Input: T920MKB3.j]
Other reasons, reservations, qualifications 2009-09-18 mKB this feature as well as f359 are transitional between Phases 3s and 4c (in traditional terms early and late ED III, ie ED IIIA and ED IIIB) because they have elements in the ceramics that are characteristic for both periods. In this respect the typology resembles J1 the fills below the earliest escarpment (J1 f329, f341, f345, f347, f354) [Input: T920MKB3.j]
2011-05-16 cJC Floor above f334 dated to EDIII with ceramics and floor below (f359) is also EDIII so all layers between were also assigned to EDIII based on stratigraphy. [Input: V516CJC.j]
2011-11-21 cJC Dated to Mid-EDIII based on ceramics, also stratigrapically below features assigned to Late EDIII [Input: VY21CJC.j]
Notes on time sequencing 2009-09-18 mKB Transition from Phase 3s to 4c [Input: T920MKB3.j]
