Shell artifacts
The number of shells recovered from J4 is very low (only 4 shells). Only one has working trace (a perforation), the rest are in their natural state. The shells were retrieved from various layers mostly mixed layers (2 shells from modern mixed layer and the sifter and 2 from Mittani layer and proto imperial Akkadian layer). The scarcity of such type of objects is consistent with the nature of J4, a unit that consist of mostly accumulation layer with no major activities.
