This group of features comprises decorative stonework inside the perimeter of the Mittani revetment wall, ^wall3. It roughly corresponds to a mirror image of the apron systems in J2 and J3 found to the west of the eastern staircase. Here the stones are not so specifically arranged in rows although they are bounded to the east by a double line of large stones, f186. What we see are isolated patches of large stones, f4, f198, and f199, covered by a large, unexcavated block of soil, f5. Analysis of the ceramics found in the vicinity indicates that it was built during the Mittani period's western retrenchment. [Input: T914JW.j] |
