Edited by jW on W330. .ei jW .ed Qx09 .rd Qx09 .ri jW list2 f ds 97 Topsoil in the excavated area of k13 has abundant small roots throughout, several large roots, and small rocks within, mostly pm the prder pf 1-10cm in diameter; when picked ts comes up in clumps, but is fine and dusty when it crumbles in-hand. A water berm ran E-W across the square. The locus was initially covered by weeds. Excavation followed the slope of the topsoil, not a level surface. 98 First accumulation in k21, a locus previously partially excavated in MZ 17 as part of unit J2. The soil is fine-grained and powder-like, suggesting that it was primarily loess deposited as a result of wind. 99 One of a number of large limestone blocks on the temple mound that sit in natural accumulation well above the revetment wall, f11 in k21. Since the stones were randomly oriented and we know from earlier excavations in B6 that there were structures, including concentric rings of large stones, higher on the mound when the temple complex was active, we assume that this stone was displaced from its original location during heavy rains and rolled down the mound and to its current location. 100 This is a natural accumulation under the topsoil in k13. The material is clay with fine dust and other small, sandy components. The accumulation is sticky when wet. Larger roots extended into it from the topsoil above, f97. Exposed a soil and rock conglomerate, f101, within this feature. 101 A conglomerate of fist-sized pebbles and laminated soil which sits in natural accumulation f104. It is difficult to say whether it is a natural deposit or was placed relatively recently by transients. 102 One of a number of large limestone blocks on the temple mound that sit in natural accumulation well above the revetment wall, f11 in k21. Since the stones were randomly oriented and we know from earlier excavations in B6 that there were structures, including concentric rings of large stones, higher on the mound when the temple complex was active, we assume that this stone was displaced from its original location during heavy rains and rolled down the mound and to its current location. 103 Natural accumulation under natural accumulation, f98, in k21. Compared to f98, it is much harder and comes off the pick in chunks, possibly indicating that standing water played a part in its deposition. 104 Natural accumulation under natural accumulation, f100, in k13. Compared to f100, it is much harder and comes off the pick in chunks which reduce to a fine powder when crushed, possibly indicating that water played a part in its deposition. 105 Topsoil in the south half of k22. Like much of the surface of the tell,it was covered with dried shrubs and had a hard crust filled with roots and nodules. It came off the pick in blocks of material and had a distinct darker brown color than the typical soil under the surface. 106 First natural accumulation in the south half of k22 under the topsoil, f105. It had a number of large roots from surface shrubs and contained pockets of small stones and pebbles. 107 Natural accumulation under natural accumlation, f104, in k13. Its consistency is finer than f104, indicating a greater componet of loess in its formation. It still follows the general slope of the baqaya glacis immediately to the south. The stones of installation a4 sit in this accumulation. 108 Second natural accumulation in the south half of k22 under natural accumulation f106. It was brown, soft and crumbly, showing less influence from water and more evidence that it was formed by loess carried in by the wind. 109 A thick surface of baqaya sloping sharply down the surface of the temple mound from the BA temple to the north to the revetment wall to the south in k13. It links with an identical surface, f50, discovered to the south in k12 in season MZ18. It formed the original surface of the mound when it was constructed and undoubtedly facilitated the runoff of water during periods of rain. Baqaya, the local virgin soil, has the property of percolating slowly any water which sits on its surface. 110 One of a number of large limestone blocks on the temple mound that sit in natural accumulation well above the revetment wall, f11 in k21. We originally assumed that this stone was one of many that had been displaced from its original location as part of a deteriorating installation higher on the mound and rolled down the mound and to its current location during heavy rains. However when its position was plotted and compared to others being found to the south, it was clear that it was part of a system of intersecting lines of stones (aggregate 7) that formed an installation in conjunction with a tannur and floor surfaces. 111 This feature consisted of two lenses of grayish material which were seen on the east side and the west side of k13, but not seen in the middle. They can be clearly seen in both sections and cover the baqaya glacis, f109. Excavations in the east baulk of k23 show that f111 must be the eastward extension of the mud glacis, f152. 112 One of 5 large limestone blocks at approximately the same elevation in the south baulk of k13. They form an E-W line, a4, that may have served as a wall foundation or rough windbreak. 113 Natural accumulation under natural accumulation f108 in the southern part of k22. Compared to f108, it is compact and hard, indicating the strong influence of water in its formation. 114 Natural accumulation under natural accumulation f107 in k13. It is somewhat harder than f107, indicating a combination of wind and water in soil formation. 115 A large limestone block that sits in natural accumulation f118 in the southern half of k22. One of a number of large limestone blocks on the temple mound that sit in natural accumulation well above the revetment wall, f11. Since the stones were randomly oriented and we know from earlier excavations in B6 that there were structures, including concentric rings of large stones, higher on the mound when the temple complex was active, we assume that this stone was displaced from its original location during heavy rains and rolled down the mound and to its current location. 116 This feature, consisting of what turned out to be multiple layers of accumulation, ran N-S along the E baulk of k13. It was dug as a narrow exploratory trench in order to trace the layer of baqaya found along the N baulk and to determine the stratigraphic sequence of any accumulations that overlaid it. We found that f116 was a mix of material from accumulations f114, f121 and f120, each of which was distinctive, but thin. 117 One of 5 large limestone blocks at approximately the same elevation in the south baulk of k13. They form an E-W line, a4, that may have served as a wall foundation or rough windbreak. 118 It coverd the south half of k22, it was very hard and lamination with small pieces of sherds and stones, the workmen worked with the big pick to remover it. 119 It looks like melted brick under f118 which were softer and a little bit wet, with a grey color, but still we can see the lamination on it, when picked on it peels off the compacted material below it, there were very few sherds of pottery, we found the top of 4 limestones in this feature but still we don't know if its the top of the wall or not. 120 Natural accumulation under natural accumulation f121 in k13. Compared to f121, it is considrably harder, perhaps reflecting the influence of water on aeolian deposits as the baqaya glacis was first covered. 121 Natural accumulation under natural accumulation f114 in k13. Compared to f114, this accumlation is softer, but still fine grained, indicating that it was formed by loess. 122 Highest level of the two fills of pit a5, which was dug into the baqaya glacis, f109 before the wahal glacis, f152 (and probably f111) was built as part of a renovation in the middle of the Mittani period. 123 One of the components of the first rebuild of the lower part of the BA temple mound and wall system after the wall was completely covered. It was the transitional element between f148 to the south, a flat surface that served as a floor, and a packed mud glacis, f152, to the north which eventually merged with the original baqaya glacis, f109. Its hard surface may be explained by a mixture of mud and baqaya to change the direction of water flow from the mound to the now-covered plaza. 124 One of a number of large limestone blocks placed along the top of the revetment wall, f11, in k22 as a conseqence of a major renovation that included a new wahal glacis system, f123 and f152. It intruded the glacis, f123, that covered the wall top. Since the mound was undoubtedly still sacred, the stones probably served as a reminder of the wall system before the plaza filled up and the wall was covered. We often informally refer to them as "memory stones." 125 One of a number of large limestone blocks placed along the top of the revetment wall, f11, in k22 as a conseqence of a major renovation that included a new wahal glacis system, f123 and f152. It intruded the glacis, f123, that covered the wall top. Since the mound was undoubtedly still sacred, the stones probably served as a reminder of the wall system before the plaza filled up and the wall was covered. We often informally refer to them as "memory stones." 126 Topsoil in the north half of k21. Like much of the surface of the tell,it was covered with dried shrubs and had a hard crust filled with roots and nodules. It came off the pick in blocks of material and had a distinct darker brown color than the typical soil under the surface. 127 Bottom of two fills of pit a5, cut into the baqaya glacis, f109, before it was covered by the wahal glacis. As with the top fill, the contents provided little evidence of the purpose for which the pit was dug. Because this fill was so hard, it may be the top of a number of compacted fills used to construct the temple mound behind the revetment wall, before the slope was covered with baqaya. 128 Cut of a round pit in the northwest corner of k13 and part of aggregate a5. 129 First natural accumulation in the north half of k21 under the topsoil, f126. It had a number of large roots from surface shrubs and contained pockets of small stones and pebbles. 130 One of 5 large limestone blocks at approximately the same elevation in the south baulk of k13. They form an E-W line, a4, that may have served as a wall foundation or rough windbreak. 131 One of 5 large limestone blocks at approximately the same elevation in the south baulk of k13. They form an E-W line, a4, that may have served as a wall foundation or rough windbreak. 132 One of 5 large limestone blocks at approximately the same elevation in the south baulk of k13. They form an E-W line, a4, that may have served as a wall foundation or rough windbreak. 133 Topsoil in k23, whose surface was originally covered with grasses and shrubs. A berm to divert water away from the previous year's excavation ran E-W along the south side. 134 One of a number of large limestone blocks on the temple mound that sit in natural accumulation well above the revetment wall, f11 in k21. Since the stones were randomly oriented and we know from earlier excavations in B6 that there were structures, including concentric rings of large stones, higher on the mound when the temple complex was active, we assume that this stone was displaced from its original location during heavy rains and rolled down the mound and to its current location. 135 One of a number of large limestone blocks on the temple mound that sit in natural accumulation well above the revetment wall, f11 in k21. Since the stones were randomly oriented and we know from earlier excavations in B6 that there were structures, including concentric rings of large stones, higher on the mound when the temple complex was active, we assume that this stone was displaced from its original location during heavy rains and rolled down the mound and to its current location. 136 An installation near the surface of k23, sitting in a soil layer f138, and consisting of a ring of burned soil atop a larger circular mass of hard-packed soil. In and of itself, it is almost insignificant, however, it is one of a series of unusual features at this spot, a11, ranging in time from at least the Mittani period to the present. 137 Accumulation over floor f164 in k108. It was gray in color and had a very hard surface. It was adjacent a similar accumulation, f139, but could be differentiated on the basis of color. 138 A thin layer of highly compacted soil, under topsoil, f133, in the eastern half of k23. It is likely that the compaction is associated with the use of the burned soil in the center, f136. 139 Lamination over floor accumulation f146. It was very hard and reddish in color. It was wet, signifying that a harder surface beneath was trapping and containg moisture. 140 Natural accumulation under topsoil, f133, in k23. The soil has a gray tint, perhaps due to smoke from activities surrounding the nearby burned soil, f136. 141 Natural accumulation overlaid by natural accumulation f140 and soil layer, f138. It had the light brown color of loess but was also compacted, perhaps from human activity associated with the stone circle f142, which sat in it. 142 A circular installation of fist-sized pebbles in a matrix of laminated soil which sits in natural accumulation f141 in k23. In and of itself, it is almost insignificant, however, it is one of a series of unusual features at this spot, a11, ranging in time from at least the Mittani period to the present. 143 One of a number of large limestone blocks, a16, placed along the top of the revetment wall, f11, in k108 as a conseqence of a major renovation that included a new wahal glacis system, f123 and f152. It sat in accumulation f137 and also intruded floor, f148, which covered the wall top. Since the mound was undoubtedly still sacred, the stones probably served as a reminder of the wall system before the plaza filled up and the wall was covered. We often informally refer to them as "memory stones." The excavator, bL, originally assessed that it sat in f137, but later analysis after f148 was fully excavated shows that it was indeed a memory stone. 144 A large limestone block that sits in living accumulation f137 in k108. It likely was transported down from higher on the mound by stormwater. 145 One of a number of large limestone blocks, a16, placed along the top of the revetment wall, f11, in k108 as a conseqence of a major renovation that included a new wahal glacis system, f123 and f152. It sat in accumulation f137 and also intruded floor, f148, which covered the wall top. Since the mound was undoubtedly still sacred, the stones probably served as a reminder of the wall system before the plaza filled up and the wall was covered. We often informally refer to them as "memory stones." The excavator, bL, originally assessed that it sat in f137, but later analysis after f148 was fully excavated shows that it was indeed a memory stone. 146 Floor accumulation over a thin, packed earth, stone and sherd floor f164. It was yellowish and softer than the floor, perhaps indicating that the floor was no longer used and was covered by loess. 147 Natural accumulation under natural accumulation f141 in k23. Compared to f141 it is slightly more like powder, although still having a hard surface. 148 A floor surface in k108 that forms the southern part of the first major rebuild of the revetment wall and glacis system after the glacis, wall and plaza to the south were covered. The rebuild included: this floor which extended south of what was originally the south face of the revetment wall; a number of memory stones imbedded in or resting generally on the material that coverd the wall; a tranisional flat surface of packed mud (wahal); and a wahal glacis that rose less sharply than the bakaya glacis and eventually intercepted it. 149 The top one of two fills in pit a6 in k23. We were hoping that the contents would help identify the time period of its use or its function, but the fill was relativel clean and ambiguous. 150 A layer of ashy soil immediately to the west of pit a6 in the northwest corner of k23. It is likely to have resulted from activities conducted within the cut. 151 Natural accumulation under natural accumulation f147 in k23. As compared to f147 it is a darker brown, and much softer. Its position overlaying the wahal glacis would indicate that it could be a floor accumulation. However, it is unlikely that human activity took place on the glacis and therefore the accumulation consisted of loess which was deposstied on a glacis that was not kept clean as was the previous baqaya glacis. 152 A wahal glacis associated with a rebuilding of the BA temple mound after the monumental wall and plaza were covered by accumulations in the middle of the Mittani period. It covers the baqaya glacis which we date to the EDIII period. 153 The bottom one of two fills in pit a6 in k23. We were hoping that the contents would help identify the time period of its use or its function, but the fill was relativel clean and ambiguous. 154 A large limestone block that sits in natural accumulation f139. One of a number of large limestone blocks on the temple mound that sit in natural accumulation well above the revetment wall, f11. Since the stones were randomly oriented and we know from earlier excavations in B6 that there were structures, including concentric rings of large stones, higher on the mound when the temple complex was active, we assume that this stone was displaced from its original location during heavy rains and rolled down the mound and to its current location. 155 One of five large limestone blocks that intrude f148, a wahal mud floor in k108, atop accumulation that covered the revetment wall, plaza and the lower part of the baqaya glacis, f109. At this point in time they are most likely stones placed along the general line of the wall, a16, in the later phases of the Mittani period to retain the idea of the components of the original complex, constructed in the Early Dynastic III period. 156 One of five large limestone blocks that intrude f148, a wahal mud floor in k108, atop accumulation that covered the revetment wall, plaza and the lower part of the baqaya glacis, f109. At this point in time they are most likely stones placed along the general line of the wall, a16, in the later phases of the Mittani period to retain the idea of the components of the original complex, constructed in the Early Dynastic III period. 157 One of five large limestone blocks that intrude f148, a wahal mud floor in k108, atop accumulation that covered the revetment wall, plaza and the lower part of the baqaya glacis, f109. At this point in time they are most likely stones placed along the general line of the wall, a16, in the later phases of the Mittani period to retain the idea of the components of the original complex, constructed in the Early Dynastic III period. 158 One of five large limestone blocks that intrude f148, a wahal mud floor in k108, atop accumulation that covered the revetment wall, plaza and the lower part of the baqaya glacis, f109. At this point in time they are most likely stones placed along the general line of the wall, a16, in the later phases of the Mittani period to retain the idea of the components of the original complex, constructed in the Early Dynastic III period. 159 One of five large limestone blocks that intrude f148, a wahal mud floor in k108, atop accumulation that covered the revetment wall, plaza and the lower part of the baqaya glacis, f109. At this point in time they are most likely stones placed along the general line of the wall, a16, in the later phases of the Mittani period to retain the idea of the components of the original complex, constructed in the Early Dynastic III period. 160 The cut of a pit into the wahal glacis, f152 in k23. 161 A large limestone block that sits in living accumulation f146 in k108. It may either be a memory stone atop f148 or an actual part of the top of the revetmenet wall, f11. 217 Natural accumulation in the far southeast corner of an expanded k109 that was excavated for J1. It was excavated by us because access for them would have been dangerous due to the proximity of a very high baulk formed when the full depth of the revetment wall was excavated last season. 162 Topsoil in the northern half of k22. It covers f165. 163 This is the middle one of three floor surfaces in k108 associated with the first rebuild of the BA temple mound after the wall and plaza were covered by natural accumulation. Although the sherds in it are laying flat (indicating that it was walked on) the surface is soft and relatively thin. 164 This is the top one of three floor surfaces in k108 associated with the first rebuild of the BA temple mound after the wall and plaza were covered by natural accumulation. The sherds in it are laying flat (indicating that it was walked on) the surface is hard.. 165 Natural accumulation under the topsoil, in k22. It covers f166 and f167. There are found several pieces of modern metal. 166 In k22. A layer of densly packed material which rings the trowel as it is lightly scraped. It abut f167. 167 Soft accumulation with a hard crust on top in the west half of k22. 168 A soft, brown, fine grained accumulation above a packed earth floor, f173 in the north half of k22. Sherds from this feature will be analyzed to assist in determining the stratum of the floor. A large limestone block, f168, possibly a component of installation a4, was sitting in this accumulation near the bottom. 169 A large limestone block in the north east corner of k22. It is a component of living space installation a7 and is one of three stone blocks running N-S that do join the E-W line of a4 to form an "L". As it shelters one from both the north and west winds, it may have been associated with activities in the vicinity of a tannur and packed earth floor. 170 Topsoil in k31 hard with many roots. It covers f171. 171 Feature under the topsoil in k31 that, when picked, comes out in medium and little chunks, it is friable if pressed by hands and granular, compact before picked with big pick. It presents a greyish colour and there's very few pottery in little sherds. Lower it has smaller chunks and very small stones. 172 Topsoil in k32, hard with many roots. 173 A hard-packed dirt floor surface containing imbedded pebbles and sherds laying horizontally in the north baulk of k22. 174 It is compact and not very friable, it presents many roots, little stones and some pottery sherds. The colour is light brown. In k32 175 This feature presents some stones laying in a quite circular shape (like a tear) it is compact and hard, it is a little bit wet, the colour is brownish. It presents some very little white roots. In k31 176 It presents little chunks, some white inclusions, many little roots. In the chunks there are very small granular stones. The colour is more brown and it is more soft than f171.In k31. 177 Natural accumulation under natural accumulation f174 in k32. ;178 A floating limestone block found on the south west of k31. Sits in accumulation f176. ;179 this feature is more wet and bowderbut compact, it comes out in medium chunks. 180 A thin,brownish gray accumulation atop the wahal glacis, f152. There were three pits nearby and they could have been the source of ash to provide a gray tint to the soil of this feature as the glacis became covered with loess. 181 This feature is soft, friable and powdery, it comes out in medium chunks. It present small white roots. There are few little stones, the colour is very pale brown. It covers f182 182 this feature is an accumulation that contains very fine material, there were very few sherds of pottery, it covers f184. In k109. 183 An isolated limestone block along the former west baulk of k109. 183 A large limestone block that sits in natural accumulation f174, near the surface. It is one of a several of these blocks on the temple mound that sit in natural accumulation well above the revetment wall, f11 in k32. Since the stones were randomly oriented and we know from earlier excavations in B6 that there were structures, including concentric rings of large stones, higher on the mound when the temple complex was active, we assume that this stone was displaced from its original location during heavy rains and rolled down the mound and to its current location. 184 Floor in k109. It is a continuation to the north of the mud glacis, f241. It has some sherds of pottery that were pressed flat into the surface. 185 One of six large limestone blocks in k109 that form part of a stone arc, a9, over a line of memory stones installed when the revetment wall, f11, was covered 186 One of six large limestone blocks in k109 that form part of a stone arc, a9, over a line of memory stones installed when the revetment wall, f11, was covered 187 One of six large limestone blocks in k109 that form part of a stone arc, a9, over a line of memory stones installed when the revetment wall, f11, was covered 188 One of six large limestone blocks in k109 that form part of a stone arc, a9, over a line of memory stones installed when the revetment wall, f11, was covered 189 topsoil, very hard with many roots, it covers f191, there were 47 pottery sherd and 5 rings. It covers f191. 190 A group of small stones which sit in accumulation, f140, just under the surface in the middle of the east baulk of k23. 191 feature in k109 under the topsoil, it is granular and there's few small stones sherds and some roots. It comes out in little chunks. It is compact and hard and present some pottery even in big sherds. It covers f193. 192 A single red brick, laid horizontally and seen only in section in the north baulk in the northeast corner of the locus. Above it may be a pise structure, the possibility of which will be investigated on Q828. 193 granular feature with medium chunks, it isn't very friable and there are very few small stones and few pottery. It present small white roots, it is a lamination. It covers f194, f196 and f197 194 It is sandy but hard, greyish with few small stone's pebbles. 195 A large limestone block in the north east corner of k22. It is a component of living space installation a7 and is one of three stone blocks running N-S that do join the E-W line of a4 to form an "L". As it shelters one from both the north and west winds, it may have been associated with activities in the vicinity of a tannur and packed earth floor. 196 friable and hard feature, the colour is brownish. 197 It is more greysh than f196, there's less small white roots. It is compact and it present some pottery sherds. There are some limestones and some soft stones (maybe sandstones). 198 topsoil in the southern part of k31, it is hard with many roots and few pottery, it covers f199. 199 feature under the topsoil, it is very hard and comes out in big and hard chunks. It present a lot of roots and some little pottery sherds. We found in it a limestone (f200). 200 Large limestone block that sits in natural accumulation f199. 201 Large limestone block previously designated as f169 and equal to it. A large limestone block in the north east corner of k22. It is a component of living space installation a7 and is one of three stone blocks running N-S that do join the E-W line of a4 to form an "L". As it shelters one from both the north and west winds, it may have been associated with activities in the vicinity of a tannur and packed earth floor. 202 Natural accumulation under natural accumulation f199 in k31. It is hard, compacted, but changes to sandy when crushed. 203 the texture is friable and quite soft, it is a little bit wet and comes out medium chunks, there are very few pottery sherds. We found three big stones in it. 204 Soft lamination with very small white roots, it is greyish and comes out in medium chunks. 205 Large limestone block previously designated as f130 and equal to it. 206 Large limestone block previously designated as f117 and equal to it. 207 Large limestone block previously designated as f132 and equal to it. 208 Large limestone block previously designated as f112 and equal to it. 209 Soil under the stones of a4 in the south baulk of k13 and atop the baqaya glacis, f109. Although it was impossible to differentiate layers in the confined space of the baulk, it was, like f116, undoubtedly a combination of soil features f114, f121, and f120. 210 One of a group of three large limestone blocks along the south baulk of k21, which was partially excavated in MZ17 as a part of J2. Its sits in natural accumulation f203. One of a number of floating stones from deteriorating structures higher on the temple that were probably carried down the slope in antquity by rain runoff 211 One of a group of three large limestone blocks along the south baulk of k21, which was partially excavated in MZ17 as a part of J2. Its sits in natural accumulation f203. One of a number of floating stones from deteriorating structures higher on the temple that were probably carried down the slope in antquity by rain runoff 212 One of a group of three large limestone blocks along the south baulk of k21, which was partially excavated in MZ17 as a part of J2. Its sits in natural accumulation f203. One of a number of floating stones from deteriorating structures higher on the temple that were probably carried down the slope in antquity by rain runoff 213 Lamination with no sherds of pottery. It was compacted and wet. It breaks into big chunks under pressure. 214 Natural accumulation seen in the baulk of k22 south. It corresponds to natural accumulation f113. 215 A line of red bricks along the north baulk of k23. It is a single layer to the west, but has at least two courses to the east, the topmost of which are out of place. There were bricks on edge on a N-S line about 50cm long leading towards pit, a10. The function of this part cannot be determined because they are too eroded. 216 A large limestone block in the north east corner of k22. It is a component of living space installation a7 and is one of three stone blocks running N-S that do join the E-W line of a4 to form an "L". As it shelters one from both the north and west winds, it may have been associated with activities in the vicinity of a tannur and packed earth floor. 218 Topsoil in k91. Its surface is smooth because it has been used as a path for dirt removal in this and previous seasons. 219 Topsoil in k93. It is hard and blocky with many big roots and very few pottery sherds. Its surface is smooth because it has been used as a path for dirt removal in this and previous seasons. 220 Natural accumulation under topsoil in k91. It has been penetrated with roots from shrubs, but is otherwise hard, probably from the occasional ponding of water and use as a pathway and gathering place over many years as well. Its color and texture indicate that it is most likely an aeolian deposit. 221 Natural accumulation under the topsoil, f219, in k93. It is soft granular and compact with many roots inside and it is a little bit wet and chunky. We found few pottery sherds and no pebbles. Going down grows the presence of small white roots. It covers feature 224. 222 Topsoil in k94. Its surface is smooth because it has been used as a path for dirt removal in this and previous seasons. 223 Natural accumulation under topsoil f222 in k94. It is hard, but nevertheless filled with roots and animal burrows. 224 It presents many little white roots, but no big roots and not stone pebbles; it is sandy and comes out in medium blocks when picked. We found two big floating stones (f227, f228) sitting in this feature and very few pottery sherds.(bL) A compact light brown natural accumulation under natural accumulation, f221 in k93.(jW) 225 Natural accumulation under natural accumulation f220 in k91. It is relatively clean and hard. It is one of the series of aeolian accumulations to have covered the plaza during and after the Mittani period. 226 A large limestone block which sits in natural accumulation f221 in k93. One of a number of such stones that sit in natural accumulations to the south of the revetment wall, f11. Since generally the stones were randomly oriented and we know from earlier excavations in B6 that there were structures, including concentric rings of large stones, higher on the mound, we assume that this stone was displaced from its original location during heavy rains and rolled down the mound to its current location. However, because it is located about 5 meters south of the wall face, it is also possible that the stone was placed for a specific purpose by transients, who then abandoned it in place. 227 A large limestone block which sits in natural layer f224 in k93.

It has a gray hue usually resulting from mixing ash with loess, but there is no obvious source of regular burning nearby. 235 A layer of small stones in a mud matrix found in the north baulk of k94 as it was being excavated. There is no independent evidence to tell whether it was deposited naturally or by the activites of peple. 236 An isolated limestone block which rests on part of the first rebuild of the temple mound, f123, in k108. It is most likely a memory stone similar to stones f124 and f125. 237 A large limestone block which rests on natural accumulation, f182 in k109 along the east baulk.The alignment and elevation, roughly along the inside of and above the memory stones of the earlier set that was placed along the line of the original revetment wall, suggests that they were a part of a simple, but comprehensive late rebuilding of the mud glacis and memory stone system 238 Topsoil in k92, a locus being excavated to open up a view of the south face of revetment wall f11. 239 Natural accumulation under topsoil f238 in k92. It is similar in appearance, texture and hardness to the natural accumulation f221, under topsoil f219 in k93, immediately adjacent to the west. 240 A fine material lamination contains a few sherds of pottery, pebbles and three small pieces of sandy stones. The color was pale brown. The pottery were common (ch, fc). 241 hard packing with a lot of small pebbles and sherds of pottery, it comes out in little chunks(bL). It is a packing which contains hard compacted material containing many sherds of pottery and pebbles. It is sloping down. It is about 10 cm thick, and continues to the west in k109. It could be the mud glacis(rE). 242 One of a line of large limstone blocks at about the same elevation as the mud glacis, f241 in the far northwest corner of an expanded k109. They appear to roughly follow the line of the wall, but are about one meter higher than the memory stones associated with the reconstruction of the wall and glacis system. Because of the association with the second rebuild of the glacis, f241, we believe that it is most likely that these stones are memory stones for last mound system before abandonment. The stones were uncovered several years ago when portions of what is now J1 were excavated, but their function was not recognized at the time. 243 One of a line of large limstone blocks at about the same elevation as the mud glacis, f241 in the far northwest corner of an expanded k109.

It contains small pieces of charcoal and sherds laying flat. Although the surface is extremely hard, it is wavy, with peaks and valleys of 10cm or less throughout. 248 One of six large limestone blocks in k109 that form part of a stone arc, a8, over a line of memory stones installed when the revetment wall, f11, was covered. It is also one of four large limestone blocks surrounding four smaller ones that form stone circle a9. 249 One of six large limestone blocks in k109 that form part of a stone arc, a8, over a line of memory stones installed when the revetment wall, f11, was covered.

It appears to rest on the mud glacis, f241, and may be a part of the second and final reconstruction of the temple mound before abandonment. 251 Natural accumulation under floor f148. It is the first accumulation to cover the revetment wall, f11. 252 Accumulation greyish in colour, that covers the layer of mudbrick, in the north west corner of the square we found some sealings and many clay lumps within many big sherds of vessel aand in the same place we noted a pocket of ash. 253 Natural accumulation under floor f247 in k109. 254 Natural accumulation in the southern part of k108 in the central sector of the unit. It is a continuation to the west of accumulations f272 in k106 and f257 further to the west in k109. All are lower in elevation than the south face of the revetment wall, f11, and were formed by a combination of soil carried by the wind, material that washed down from the BA temple mound, and material deposited by human activity in the plaza to the south of the wall. 255 One of four large limestone blocks around the periphery of a stone circular cluster a9. Although most certainly placed, their purpose and function are unknown 256 One of four large limestone blocks around the periphery of a stone circular cluster a9.

All are lower in elevation than the south face of the revetment wall, f11, and were formed by soil carried by the wind, material that washed down from the BA temple mound, and material deposited by human activity in the plaza to the south of the wall. 258 The lamination was formed by trapped water that sat on top of a soft pit fill and then evaporated. We had expected to find some evidence of the purpose of the pit by analyzing the fill, but it was impossible. 259 Higher level of compacted fill below the cut of pit a6 in the northeast corner of k23. It was excavated to see if the material used to construct the temple mound behind the revetment wall, f11, was the same as that found last year in the excavation of the typological column k104 and k105. It was similar in that it was of various constencies, containing the occasional mudbrick. The pottery was Late Chalcolithic. There were no other materials such as seal impressions to help date the deposit with more precision. 260 Compacted fill below the cut of pit a5 in the northwest corner of k13. It was excavated to see if the material used to construct the temple mound behind the revetment wall, f11, was the same as that found last year in the excavation of the typological column k104 and k105.

It seems to have been cut into the baqaya glacis, f109. However it is relatively far away from the revetment wall in a place where later wahal (f152) and mud (f241) glacis did not cover the baqaya one. In the process of cutting it, several seal impressions were excavated and placed just to the north. Although it had the shape of a grave, no indicia of such use were found. 270 A rectangular strip running west to east of collapsed pieces of mudbricks in the NW corner of k23. Expecially near the pit a6 and in the northwest part of the square; non-homogeneus feature, with fragments of red and grey bricks: the red ones are bigger and made of a row fragile and granular clay that presents many white inclusions. When picked with the small pick it comes out in almost big pieces. Between the pit a6 and the pit a10 there's a red line and a circular grey line. 271 A large limestone block which sits in natural layer f239 in k92. One of a number of such stones that sit in natural accumulations to the south of the revetment wall, f11. Since generally the stones were randomly oriented and we know from earlier excavations in B6 that there were structures, including concentric rings of large stones, higher on the mound, we assume that this stone was displaced from its original location during heavy rains and rolled down the mound to its current location. However, because it is located about 5 meters south of the wall face, it is also possible that the stone was placed for a specific purpose by transients, who then abandoned it in place. 272 Natural accumulation in the southern part of k106 in the east sector of the unit. It is a continuation to the east of accumulations f254 in k108 and f257 in k109.
