2. IDENTIFICATION

Designation

Roster Date Author Record
Description (summary) 2009-08-08 jW This is a high quality mud and pebble floor surface which abuts stone installation, f225. It is similar to a pebble floor at the same elevation in J1, immediately to the east. It slopes down to the south and its function was probably to divert water flowing along the revetment wall away from its base and escarpment. Sherd analysis indicates that it was built during the Mittani period. [Input: T808JW.j]
