2. IDENTIFICATION

Designation

Roster Date Author Record
Description (summary) 2008-07-31 jW A laminar layer of sand, pebbles, and silt beneath natural accumulation, f77, in the NE quadrant of k22. It is bounded by the west baulk of k22 and the west face of revetment wall, f3. Its laminations vary in thickness and consistency, with more sand, more, silt, or more pebbles in one rather than the other. It is relatively free of sherds. [Input: S731JW.j]
2008-08-02 jW This feature was excavated using both the large and the small pick. It was characterized by large areas of mixed laminated pebbles, sand, and silt, interspersed with areas of laminated silt, which was easily removed with the trowel. This accumlation was horizontal and extended from the south face of the north baulk of k22 northward into k23 until it met the large stones of f37. As stated before, it was bounded on the east by the west face of revetment wall, f3. The associated q-lot, q129, contained at least one painted rim sherd, which according to mKB could be either late Khabur or early Mittani. [Input: S802JW.j]
