Stratigraphy
Tthis Early Mittani phase, is charecterized by a re-organization of the area around the so called ‘monumental staircase’ (J2f130) where a glacis layer was layed. No human activities are attested during this phase in J4. There is only a natural build up of the Tell’s surface.
the glacis layer that was layed down on top of the mound in Phase 63-MZA in k82, is the same as f127 in k72. We assigned two different feature numbers to this glacis layers because the feature was initially dug in two different loci and because it was overlayed by the E baulk of k82 (f123); once f123 was removed, was clear that f77 was the same as f127.
. f146 could therefore belong to a step of the Apron “used” in a later phase either in the period of use of the bin installation, or f146 could have been built in a later period (in a period of rebuilding activities associated probably with the extension of the revetement wall). It could be that f146 has been placed on top of the revetement wall.
