3. STRATIGRAPHY

Recovery/Assignment

Roster Date Author Record
Daily notes about recovery of elements 2009-08-09 cJC At this point it is unclear if this feature is the same as f339 but damaged by water or if it is a series of thin accumulations on top of f339. Today we began excavating this feature but did not recover any pottery so there is no q-lot. [Input: T809CJC.j]
Argument 2009-08-19 cJC This feature was a thin flaky layer immediately on top of f339 that separated easily. It appears to be a damaged portion of f339 rather than a separate deposition. Because f339 is thought to be the moment after the erosion (f366) when a harder 'crust' developed on top of the eroded layers it seems plausible that these accumulations on top are part of the erosion and formation of the crust (f339) before the brickfall (f338, f341). [Input: T819CJC2.j]
Evolution 2009-08-29 cJC This layer of thin laminations is probably part of the same depositional process that created all the small laminations in the southeast corner of k14, f354. It is likely that f354 and f371 are the same or at least created by the same process. [Input: T829CJC.j]

Stratigraphic reasons of assignment 2009-09-16 cJC Probably part of f339, this feature is associated with early Mittani erosion. [Input: T916CJC.j]
Other reasons, reservations, qualifications 2011-11-21 cJC Part of erosion processes. Inconclusively dated as there is no pottery but it seems to be damaged by erosion. It could possibly be a third millennium floor damaged by erosion but for now it has been attributed to the period of erosion. [Input: VY21CJC.j]
