This significant record photograph shows the Mittani period surface in k108 (and the subject of v60) after it had been fully excavated. Looking to the north, at the bottom of the photo can be seen a level floor surface, f148, which probably served as a pathway around the extant outer portion of the BA temple mound complex. 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. Other blocks probably were deposited as a result of natural forces. At the time that the photo was taken, we had not decided which stones were which. [Input: RX31JW.j] |
