Summary 2008-08-27 pC f164 is the fill located East of wall f129 and is a red orange granular soil; the main characteristic is that slopes sharply to the South, beginning in a thick compact band and finishes in the range of 3 meters in a thin horizontal layer (f174). The purpose of this fill is still not clear: a probable explanation is that is in function to protect wall f129 [Input: S826PC.j]

Description (summary) 2008-08-25 cVP Red accumulation excavated in the E baulk of k84. It seems to be the same as f150 from k83, that slopes down N-S. [Input: S825CVP.j]

Recovery/Assignment

Roster Date Author Record
Daily notes about recovery of elements 2008-09-02 pC today, while drawing the East section ok k84, we recognized that f164 was probably cut in ancient times, probably in mittani: the top part has a curved slope, which is unnatural. see expecially drawing of the east baulk of k84 [Input: S902PC.j]
Argument 2008-08-27 pC f164 is very thick and high to the North, in j4k100 (J4f150) and slopes sharply South. In k84 instead becomes thinner and stops sloping; at the end in mixes with a brown accumulation. [Input: S826PC.j]

Typological reasons for assignment 2008-08-25 mKB date determined by looking at shapes and decoration only; pottery q lots will receive a full analysis at a later time. Date unclear based on preliminary examination of shapes and decoration [Input: S831MKB.j]
2008-09-01 mKB on relooking at f164 in light of the fact that it is equal to f174 and J4 f150 I think that it too should date to late Phase h33. For the determination of late Phase h33 see entry under J6f174.The combed decoration which was unique when I previously looked at the feature are now found in other sherds in these features and therefore cannot be an imitation.

Notes on time sequencing 2008-08-27 pC f164 is dated to Pase h33 for the pottery and is later than wall f129. We still do not understand whether wall f129 was a free standing wall in the time of its construction and only after a couple of centuries they added f164 to protect it, or there was a cut that removed what was aganist and contemporary to wall f129. [Input: S826PC.j]
2008-09-01 mKB equal to f174 and J4f150 [Input: S901MKB.j]
