ds Border 2 is a series of structures which we believe mark the western boundary of the sacral area which surrounds the BA temple.  It includes two multilayer walls, f49 and f91, (a2).  They had been built in several phases along the far western edge of the west plaza to define the limits of the sacred space west of the staircase and the revetment wall as the space was gradually covered with aeolian soil.

ns On S903 a draft revision of the phase sequence for Mittani horizon stated that the stone installation, f71 in k43, belonged to Mittani phase 7b.  However, lH and jW believe that f71 belongs to a Middle Assyrian phase.  The stone installation, f28 in k44, is linked to the stone installation, f71, by the threshold in between, f163.  The natural accumulation, f42 in k34, includes Middle Assyrian pottery sherds, and it is equal to the natural accumulation, f57. The stone installation, f28, overlays accumulation, f57.  According to this evidence, the entrance, f163, and the accumulations, f42 and f57, should all be dated to a Middle Assyrian phase.
