2. IDENTIFICATION

Designation

Roster Date Author Record
Description (summary) 2008-08-05 jW Volumetric material comprising the upper layers of late accumulation (f55, and f59) in the eastern baulk of k43, which will be removed as one feature, f103. We divided the last mentioned baulk into three parts to collect pottery that will help understand the transition between the Middle Assyrian Mittani phases. The top layers are late accumulation, f103. The Middle Assyrian accumulation is f94, a separate feature. Also the Mittani features, f98 and f100 will be another separate feature. [Input: S805JW1.j]

3. STRATIGRAPHY

Recovery/Assignment

Roster Date Author Record
Harmonization 2008-08-05 jW Features for the east baulk of k43 are the features located in the west baulk of k33 (identical but opposite side) because there was insufficient room between the east baulk of k43 and the stone structure f71 (immediately to its west) to properly see and designate features, then excavate the baulk from its (normal) west side.
