There is a slight upslope from south to north to the top of a mound upon which was built a series of temples (BA). The vegetation is typical of the entire site - weeds with large, deep roots not eaten by grazing caprids. It was originally anticipated that these loci would be used for a deep sounding to explore the methodology used to construct the monumental wall which defines the outer extent of the mound, but we later decided to excavate closer to the wall. Therefore these loci were never excavated. O40 2020-11-17_J03_VWX.j !!! L_V18d3005 J3v2 P803 dM.jpg O40 2020-11-17_J03_VWX.j !!! L_V18d3006 J3v2a P803 dM.jpg O40 2020-11-17_J03_VWX.j !!!

Several years ago, a German team excavated an E-W trench to the east of k12/k101 which revealed a line of large limestone blocks extending along the south baulk of their trench. This line of stones matches the north edge of apron stones, f10 in J03k101. This series of views also provides evidence to resolve the issue of whether the apron, f10, was built as a part of the monumental wall, f11, in Phase 1 (ED III) or was added subsequently as decoration in Phase 5 (Khabur) or 6 (Mittani).

It appears as if the stones were laid on top of accumulation, f33, which overlays fill, f34, the top level of material datable to Phase 1. Note that the scoring that separated f33 and f31 in the vicinity of the vertical reference stick is in error. The photo clearly shows that f33 contines to angle upward to the north crossing the stick at the red/white boundary rather than in the middle of the red band. The photo also shows that the stones of the south edge of the apron, f10, are higher than the stones of the north edge of the monumental wall, f11. Furhermore, the edge stones do not abut.

From this photograph, it appears as if the large limestone blocks f66, f67, and f68 were part of the wall prior to abandonment. They were set in, but not covered with plaster-like mud. They appear to be on the northernmost of three E-W lines of similar blocks that form the extant top of the wall. They were later removed for safety reasons as we excavated just to the north of them to explore how the wall was constructed. The three subviews are all taken looking south towards the north face of the wall and illustrate how the most intact of several layers of bakhia, f50, sealed the surface extending from the wall up to the temple BA.

Although at first we thought that it was the top surface of the temple mound, this photo illustrates that it abuts the wall about 50cm. below the top, and therefore must be an intermediate surface, perhaps marking the end of seasonal construction. Several more layers of fill would have been subsequently placed above f50 and another layer of bakhia, bricks and stones would have marked the true top. This photo shows that the N-S line of limestone blocks, f72, were laid atop the highest layer of fill, f34, that we can positively associate with the temple mound. It is possible that they were a part of the apron system, f10.

The first extant layer of bakhia that we encountered, f50, covered all of k12. (We postulate that there was a higher layer atop fills f34, f38, and f42 that had all but eroded away after abandonment.) As f50 was being removed from the 2m x 2m locus of k104, underneath we encountered a layer of compacted fill, f57, atop another thin layer of bakiah, f58. This view shows that f58 extended throughout the locus, sloping down from north to south following the shape of the temple BA mound. O40 2020-11-17_J03_VWX.j !!!

First, one can see that the remains sit in compacted fill, f59, strongly indicating that the burial was made at the same time the temple mound was being constructed. There is no shaft or cut that might indicate that the burial occured later in time. Second, the body is in a fully flexed position. Third, a stone tool, i8, probably belonging to the deceased is located direcly under the innominate bone. Fourth, an extensive layer of compacted ash, f64, was in place before the burial was accomplished and this layer was covered by, compacted fill, f59, in which the body sits.

This view shows the result of the first day's excavation. On the right side one can see the north face of f11, whose stones are covered with a layer of bakhia, f80, a local virgin soil, to regulate the flow of water from the layers in the mound behind to the fully exposed south face. We assume that the bakhia allows water to trickle through, thus assuring that the mud mortar between the stones of the wall does not wash away.

Later, it was found to be the northernmost of a N-S row of seven such stones, f72, the subject of this view.. The stones were all at an elevation above the top layer of compacted fill, f34, which we believe formed the surface of the BA temple mound, which was bounded on its outer periphery by the monumental stone wall, f11. It is unlikely that this row of stones was deposited naturally, but its function is unclear. The most likely explanation is that it somehow formed the western boundary of the apron, f10, which was added in the Mittani period. (The wall, f11, and temple mound were probably built much earlier in the Early Dynastic period.) O40 2020-11-17_J03_VWX.j !!! L_V18d3095 J3v31 P905 dM.jpg O40 2020-11-17_J03_VWX.j !!!

The purpose is to aid in the understanding of how the temple BA mound behind f11 was constructed and what it looked liked before it was abandoned. Originally we believed that the extensive bakhia layer f50 was the top of the mound in antiquity. However, subsequent layers of fill, f42/f90, f38, and f34 were placed on top of it and sealed again with a layer of bakhia, f83, (only a small part of which survived being eroded by water and wind after abandonment) and a level platform of bricks, f84, whose function is unknown. This photo is a closeup taken just N of the wall, f11. It illustrates the interface of the fill layers f34 and f38 with the wall and the remnants of the brick platform, f84, and bakhia, f83, which formed the top of the temple mound from the time of construction during the Early Dynastic period to as late as the Mittani period.

They illustrate how the wall and mound behind it were built. First the wall stones were laid, then the mound was built up by application of successive layers of compacted fill obtained from various sources in and around the tell. The layers were not uniform in compostion or deposition. Some contained large amounts of ash, while others were relatively clean. The sealing layers of bakhia that follow the slope of the mound indicate that it probably was built over several seasons and may have been built in several phases. O40 2020-11-17_J03_VWX.j !!!

The features are numbered in a curious way because excavation this season began below the tell surface when an effort in a previous season to find the revetment wall by J2 was stopped due to higher priority needs elsewhere. So the topsoil is f126, while the starting point of the excavation was f98, two layers below. The photo was taken with a wide-angle lens which exhibited considerable distortion at the edges. Even so, the boundary between accumulations f103 and f139 suggest that perhaps there had been a gully along that boundary after abandonment. O40 2020-11-17_J03_VWX.j !!!

We were searching for evidence of the revetment wall, f11. Here we see two large limestone blocks, f124 and f125, imbedded in a very hard layer of packed material, f123. As it turned out, the stones were imbedded in the packing. The stones were elements of a line of stones placed along the line of the revetment wall as it was before it was covered by natural accumulation. The packing was made of mud and formed the surface of the mound that remained until the site was abandoned. J3v56 O0 2020-11-17_J03_VWX.j !!! J03t056 V19d2132 Qx06 bL.jpg O1 2020-11-17_J03_VWX.j !!!

The baqaya surface, f109, in the northern locus is clearly the same as the baqaya surface, k12 discovered in the first season in the southern locus. The E-W line of limestone blocks, a4, are located well above the baqaya surface and reflect activity much later in time. Although there are many such blocks seemingly randomly located above the baqaya in units J1, J2, and J3 these are unique in that they are at the same elevation and seem to be placed in a line.

In and of itself, the burn spot is insignificant; however it is at the same place as a sucession of earlier circular features, probably dating from the Mittani period. These include a circle of small stones encased in soil mortar and a pit dug into the surface of the original baqaya layer which covered the temple mound from the time it was constructed in the Early Dynastic Period.

A horizontal surface of what seems to be softer material, f148, runs E-W along the southern part. Sherds within it are flat suggesting that it was used as a walkway. Between the two at differing elevations are large limestone blocks generally oriented E-W. Some were eventually seen to be placed along the line of the revetment wall, f11, after it was covered.

Note that although the directional and horizontal references are not in the photo, which was taken looking to the NE to a pit that is about 100 cm in diameter. The photo documents that it was cut into the wahal layer, f152, which in turn was a new surface applied in the Mittani period to cover the baqaya covering, f109, which served as the surface of the BA temple mound since the Early Dynastic period when the mound and revetment wall, f11, were constructed. The photo shows the pit, a6, consisting of the cut, f160, and a layer of fill within, f149. The wahal layer, f152, can be seen in the north part of the locus, while the accumulation which covered it, F151 can be seen to the south of the pit, not having been fully excavated at the time the photo was taken.

Moving in reverse order one sees topsoil, f97, several layers of natural accumulation, f104, f107, f114, f117, overlaying two layers, f120, f121 which follow the slope of the baqaya surface of the original mound, f109. More likely than not these surfaces correspond to the wahal surface, f152, and the layer covering it, f151, in the locus aadjacent to the west, k23. The pit, a5, consists of 3 features; the cut, f128, a top layer of fill, f122, and a bottom layer, f127, which may be the top of the fill for the entire BA temple mound. One can see that the pit was cut into the Early Dynastic period's baqaya layer, f109, was thereafter filled, f122, and later was completely covered by f120, and f121, which we date to the Mittani period. Although no directional or horizontal references are shown, the photo was taken looking west and the pit has a diameter of roughly 100 cm. For reference purposes, two stones, f112, f117, part of a4, are shown. O40 2020-11-17_J03_VWX.j !!! L_V19d2143 J3v63 Q820 dM.jpg O40 2020-11-17_J03_VWX.j !!!

At the top can be seen the hard-packed wahal surface, f123, which was applied to form a new coating to the mound, perhaps because it had been damaged or had become too difficult to maintain. Between are a number of large limestone blocks, some of which were probably placed as "memory stones" to approximate the location of the revetment wall, f11, which by that time had been covered as the plaza below filled with aeolian soil.

Features f118, and f119 are more problematical since they seem to have many more small inclusions. There is a wedge of soil, f???, between f113 and f118 in the south part of the locus. A number of large limestone blocks are also shown (f102, f124, f125, f143, f144, f156, f158, and 159). The shape of the string, level in the field, shows the distortion introduced by the lens and a tilt away from level by the camera to accommodate the N to S downslope of f123 where the photographer was standing. The limited correspondence of the accumulations is due to inconsistent scoring. O40 2020-11-17_J03_VWX.j !!! L_V19d2164 J3v75 Q922 dM.jpg O40 2020-11-17_J03_VWX.j !!!

It could have been caused by one of two reasons. First and most likely, about this time a faulty camera memory card caused several photographs to be lost. However, the archaeologist who scheduled the photographs was inexperienced and during a busy time may have used the number to plan for a view whose corresponding photo was never actually taken. O99 2007-07-31_R731JW1.j jW This view was intended to show the relationship between a packed earth floor surface, f173, and a large stone, f169, just after each was excavated.

Above is the first rebuilt wahal glacis, f152, a part of which may have incorporated red brick and baqaya elements. Traces of the second rebuild of the glacis, f241, may be shown on the middle left of the photo. A tannur, f3, used late in the occupation of the tell can be seen in the upper left of the photo.

All the limestone blocks sit in natural accumulation, f203 O99 2007-08-08_R808JW.j jW View 97 was taken during the excavation of the southern half of k21, a trench partially excavated as a part of J2 several years ago. Five limestone blocks can be seen, only four of which can be positively identified. The block farthest to the north (left) was tentatively designated as f254. Elsewhere, the feature is described as a natural accumulation in which other limestone blocks sit. The large stone is undoubtedly one of many that could not be linked to a specific structure and therefore were removed in the final days of the excavation. Note that they all were assigned feature numbers and measured with relays; we just do not know which particular one this stone was. J3v98 O0 2020-11-17_J03_VWX.j !!!

One can see other limestone blocks to the north at about the same elevation as the ones in the baulk. There is no organization to the group, suggesting that they were naturally deposited over a period time, and that they probably were originally components of larger structures higher on the BA temple mound.

Expedited excavtion was possible because analysis of adjacent loci had revealed that the first meter of soil below the surface was deposited by wind and water and was relatively free of cultural material. The section of the north baulk, w30, shows a distinct separation of soil features f220 and f225, but this is not seen either in this photograph or in the drawing for the east section, w31.

A few were also located in the north part of k109, near the line of limestone blocks, a17, which may have been the second line of memory stones placed at the very end of the Mittani period. The stones were roughly divided into two groups. The first comprised ones that had been deposited before the wall was completely covered. The second comprised ones that had been deposited later, probably after the tell had been abandoned. This photograph, taken from a ladder and looking west shows primarily the stones of the second group, which are supported by soil pedestals (This was done to recognize any organized clusters that may have emerged during the course of the excavation.) All stones in this group were removed. View v151, taken later, shows better the stones in the first group. O40 2020-11-17_J03_VWX.j !!! L_V19d2310 J3v114 Q906 dM.jpg O40 2020-11-17_J03_VWX.j !!!

One floor surface, f184 has been excavated, revealing another, f247, which performs the same function as floor f148 in the locus adjacent to the east, k108. Some components of the arc of large limestone blocks, a8, remain. Considering the pedestals on which these stones sat, it is unlikely that they were associated with floor f247. A second line of large limestone blocks, a17, can be seen in the upper left hand corner. It may be associated with the mud glacis, f241, seen in the upper middle. Although they do not merge, there is a clear relationship between this glacis, f241 and the floor, f247. They are made of the same material and may have been constructed together as part of the final remodeling of the BA temple mound. O40 2020-11-17_J03_VWX.j !!!

The revetment wall, f11 and the lower part of the apron had been covered by natural accumulation. The components of the new mound, from south to north, are a flat surface which served as a pathway, f148, a line of stones, a16, oriented along the general line of the now-covered revetment wall, a gently sloping wahal surface upon which the stones sit, and a steeper sloping wahal glacis, f152, which meets the original baqaya glacis, f109, near the baulk at the top of the photo. This occurs in the region where both are covered by a layer of soil and deteriorated brick, f252. Also two pits are shown, a5 and a6. Pit a6 would have been in use during this general time period.

Although we did not realize it at the time, the wahal glacis, f152 and f123 was laid over the original baqaya one, f109. As a result we excavated through the wahal in k13, thinking that it was a layer of natural accumulation. The result is shown on the left side of the photograph. Learning from this experience, we stopped excavating in k23 and k108 when we reached the wahal, which is shown on the right side. The north-south boundary is irregular due to changes in the slope of the baqaya, f109 and some damage from foot traffic. One can also see several pits, a5 and a6, and brick structures, f215 and f270 at the northern edge of locus k23. J3v135 O0 2020-11-17_J03_VWX.j !!!

This pit was a shallow one, filled with clean, fine-grained soil, f258. We explored below the pit bottom to see if we could possibly find the source of the Uruk period seal impressions, a14 that were found directly to the north of the pit. Although we did not find any more seal impressions, we did get some information on the construction and modification of the BA temple mound prior to the remodeling in the Mittani period that added the wahal glacis, f152, and memory stones, a16. Especially in sub-view v144b, one can clearly see the grayish wahal atop another surface that is more reddish brown. This material appears in the top half of the main view as relatively homogeneous with some decayed red brick along the right side. (Contrast this uniformity with the mixed material found in the probes below the pits a5 and a6). More likely than not, the reddish layer is f270. About 30cm from the bottom, one sees a distinct layer of reddish material with white inclusions, f334. This strongly resembles the baqaya covering, f109, of the original BA temple mound built during the Early Dynastic period and seen in k13. Both here and in the west baulk of k101 there were intriguing hints of construction atop the baqaya before the remodeling, but a more detailed inquiry was not possible due to a shortage of resources and time.

This baulk belonged to J1, but was drawn, photographed and removed by J3 because this part of the east face was more than 4 meters from the bottom in J1, while for us, it was one meter high. We presume the accumulations, f253 at the top and f257 below, are the same on both sides because the two features are accumulations, probably deposited uniformly in the late stages of use of the temple mound as well as after abandonment. The photo for the main view of this long baulk was taken at an oblique angle. Therefore, the line between the accumulations is not visible. However, the subviews and the section drawing, w34, clearly show both accummulations. O40 2020-11-17_J03_VWX.j !!! L_V19d2353 J3v147a Q913 dM.jpg O40 2020-11-17_J03_VWX.j !!!

In the middle right (restrained by ropes) is the apron, f10, placed to the N of the wall in later phases, perhaps to mimic the stairway excavated in unit J2 farther to the east. In the middle left of the photo can be seen the wahal layer placed atop the baqaya as part of a later phase after the lower part of the f11 wall sytem had been covered with aeolean soils. Also on the left, between the wahal and revetment wall can be seen an E-W line of "memory stones",a16, placed in later phases to mimic the now-covered revetment wall. O40 2020-11-17_J03_VWX.j !!!

The apron is a horizontal layer of large limestone blocks just to the west of a monumental staricase and north of the revetment wall which may have functioned as a reminder of the staircase built in the Early Dynastic period, but subsequently covered by aeolian soil. It abuts a strung of large limestone blocks (memory stones), a16, which follow the line of the revetment wall, f11, which then was then also covered by aeolian soil. This first photograph begins along the westernmost extent of the apron. The view is taken at approximately eye level with respect to the wall. O40 2020-11-17_J03_VWX.j !!!

A glacis is a surface prepared in such a way that water can pass over it without creating gullies or erosion. The original glacis, f50 and f109 was made of a local virgin soil called baqaya, which resists the penetration of water. The second glacis, f123 and f152, built in the Mittani period to cover part of the baqaya glacis, was made of packed mud called wahal. The third glacis, f241, built late in the Mittani period to cover the wahal glacis, was made of packed earth containing sherds. If these surfaces are true glacis, then we should see a smooth surface after exposure to a typical winter's precipitation and wind. The photographs show that each glacis is covered by a crust of wind-blown soil hardened by exposure to rain, but is not eroded. O40 2020-11-17_J03_VWX.j !!!

We also photographed the east baulk. gB viewed out-takes from the views and suggested that we re-take it such that the reddishness of the material in f348 is more emphasized. We will try again on U916 to re-take it now that more of f348 has been exposed in k13.

It shows the relationship of the three features exposed in k110 (f346. f347, f348) to the major features exposed in the MZ20 season. Those included three pits (a5, a6, a10), the baqaya glacis, f109, a mud glacis, f152, and what may be another glacis constructed near to the time the BA temple mound was abandoned, f241.

Their purpose was to define extensive stonework which they had discovered by chance while determining the date for a series of houses which they had excavated well south of the BA temple. They did not backfill their trenches and some of the stonework deteriorated when the underpinning eroded. The trench in their unit B6 was incorporated into our unit J3 (initially designated as f545) and as we were cleaning and re-aligning it to our current grid we needed to identify which of the large limestone blocks laying along the southern border of the B6 trench were a part of the second apron, f532, and which were displaced from other locations higher in the mound. This photograph, when compared with a photo from the German excavations (view v514a) provides the basis to make that determination. One can see five stones which more than likely rolled out of position and two others which had been displaced before the Germans excavated the trench.

Soil features were all natural accumulations assigned separate numbers for the puposes of analyzing the ceramics and for accounting for excavations in two separate units spaced several years apart, f633, f634, f500, f517, f534. However, one can clearly see that the soil was continuously deposited either directly by the wind or by wash of the same type of soil from higher elevations during periods of heavy rain. Also shown are several large boulders whose source and depositional history is not known, f503, f504, f508, f525. Note in addition, the lack of pits, which indicates that after the temple mound complex was abandoned (probably in the late Mittani period) it was never re-occupied. O40 2020-11-17_J03_VWX.j !!!

Soil features were all natural accumulations assigned separate numbers, f539, f540, f547, for the puposes of analyzing the ceramics and for accounting for excavations in two separate units spaced several years apart. However, one can clearly see that the soil was continuously deposited either directly by the wind or by wash of the same type of soil from higher elevations during periods of heavy rain. Note the similarity to photographs, v527, of the south baulk of k1, located one square to the southwest, which had a similar depositional history. Also note the lack of pits, which indicates that after the temple mound complex was abandoned (probably in the late Mittani period) it was never re-occupied. J3v529 O0 2020-11-17_J03_VWX.j !!!

As excavated by us, these loci appear as partial squares, whose east and west baulks extend north roughly two meters to the south edge of the German trench. This photgraph is a detailed view of the south part of the west section of k107 before it was removed. It shows the second apron, f532, and the accumulations which cover it. The accumlation just above the apron, f547, can be discerned; however, those above it to the level of the topsoil, f539 and f540, are unlayered. One can clearly see that the soil was continuously deposited either directly by the wind or by wash of the same type of soil from higher elevations during periods of heavy rain. Also note the lack of pits. Combined, these factors indicate that after the last modification to the temple mound complex (here the second apron, f532) this part of the mound was abandoned (probably in the late Mittani period) and was never re-occupied.

As excavated by us, these loci appear as partial squares, whose east and west baulks extend north roughly two meters to the south edge of the German trench. This photgraph is a detailed view of the south part of the east section of k107 before it was removed. It shows a stepped stone structure, f556, and the accumulations which cover it. The depositonal history is more complex here than in the corresponding west baulk. One can clearly see that the soil of f539 and f540 was continuously deposited either directly by the wind or by wash of the same type of soil from higher elevations during periods of heavy rain. However, several layers of different textures can be discerned between the top of f556 and the bottom of f540. Accumulation 547, very thin in the west, is substantial here in the east. Accumlations f550 and f553, equated by vVE, are packed layers designated as floors directly above the stepped stones of f556. The overall impression is that use of this part of the mound continued for a while after the steps were covered. One possible explanation is that apron f532 and steps f556 are not contemporary - the apron could have been added after the steps were covered. J3v531 O0 2020-11-17_J03_VWX.j !!!

The original author of this view description noted that there were fifteen layers, however, since the section has not been scored, one cannot differentiate them in these photos even though it can be seen that there are some variations in color and texture.

The main view shows all the large limestone blocks south of the second apron, f532. These blocks seem to have been displaced from elsewhere and randomly deposited. The small rounded arrow on block f507 shows the location of the impression. Unfortunately, the subview, v537a, that was to show, in close-up, the mark on f507, is missing the photo. Subview, v537b shows limestone blocks in closeup just to the north of f507, but not that block itself. O40 2020-11-17_J03_VWX.j !!! L_V19d2097 J3v537 Q826 dM.jpg O40 2020-11-17_J03_VWX.j !!!

The main view photo is not in the record, V19, and either was not taken as planned or taken and lost for some reason. As a result, this photo, originally intended as a subview, will serve as the main view and the template will be produced from it. The floor, f566, is south of and appears to abut the second apron, f532. There are nine large limestone blocks shown, f507, f509, f510, f520, f529, f530, f543, f551, and f553 that are not a part of the second apron, are deposited randomly atop it, and appear to have been moved from elswhere. Note that the photograph was taken under strong light and shade, suggesting that it was intended as a progress shot. O40 2020-11-17_J03_VWX.j !!!

It focuses on a natural floor, f566, and its relationship with the second apron, f532, which it abuts. Also important is the floor's relationship with ten large, randomly oriented limstone blocks, f507, f509, f510, f519, f520, f529, f530, f543, f551, f563, which, because they sit on the floor and the apron, must have been deposited later, after the floor and apron were put in place and began to be used. Note that two subviews were listed in the view log, both with identical entries which did not include a description. A faulty entry for v541a, which does not have a photo in V19 is suspected.

More than one accumulation can be seen in the section, but due to the relatively small amount of soil removed it was assigned a single feature number, f599.
