Topmost features are topsoil level. 89 Bakaya surface associated with the construction of the temple terrace. 90 Accumulations supporting floating stones 91 Accumulations supporting floating stones 92 Baulk including multiple features. Topmost features are topsoil level. 93 Scatterred stones in upper elevations 94 No view and only one elevation makes this assignment not completely secure. Elevaiton suggests it belongs to this stratum. 95 Revetment wall is beginning to be covered. The use areas associated with the flat stone (f154) are covered. 96 This feature is fairly thick and may include multiple strata. 97 Associated with f98 and f99 which are place in this stratum based on elevations. 98 Based on elevation. There is no view of this feature. 99 Just covering the use after the brickfall, as the revetment wall is beginning to be covered. 100 Large stones floating in upper levels above staircase. 101 Use above the brickfall. 102 Use floor associated with the use after the brickfall. 103 Revetment wall is beginning to be covered. The use areas associated with the flat stone (f154) are covered. 104 Remnant of previous excavations 105 Bricky surface, indicating the use on top of the degraded brickfall. 106 Bricky surface, indicating the use on top of the degraded brickfall. 107 Floating stones in the elevations above when the area was covered, including most of the second apron. 108 Ashy reuse after the brickfall. 109 Covering use towards end of brickfall, coming up to elevations equal to top of revetment wall. 110 Top portion is level with the use after the brickfall but the feature is very thick and extends down and therefore likely also includes some brickfall material. 111 Thick accumulation, mostly falls into the post-brickfall use, but builds-up to cover that use. 112 Just below the flat stone f154, associated with the use after the brickfall, see v77 113 Accumulation under the topsoil 114 This feature is a baulk feature in the upper levels, it probably is mostly accumulations after the area was used, but due to overall depth may contain material from earlier strata as well. 115 Baulk feature spanning more than 1 meter in depth. May contain materials from multiple strata. Dated to latest strata. 116 This feature spans elevations equivalent to different use areas and accuulations. It has a small walking floor in it which can probably be attributed to s155-J2A (post-brickfall use). There are more accumulations then covering the revetment wall which spans the phase of s150-J2A. The upper portion likely is part of the later accumulations attributed to s80-J2A 117 Accumulation under the topsoil 118 Accumulation under the topsoil 119 Elevation indicates this feature is just above the brickfall, and the packed sherds indicate that it was a part of the post-brickfall use. 120 Accumulation supporting stones of late use above second apron. 121 Thick baulk feature that may contail multiple deposits 123 This feature is a baulk and may contain multiple deposits. 124 Equivalent to f118, which was the natural accumulation under the topsoil. 125 Exposed during the use of stone f154 126 Although this feature contains mixed materials from f125 and f103 it can not be securely dated. Likely the majority of the material belongs to f155, the period of post-brickfall use, however, the upper portions, just under the stone (as well as the stone) are part of the accumulation after. 127 The construction of this wall indicates that it was a later addition to the monumental complex. It is not bonded to either the first apron (f131) or the revetment wall (f128). gB has also noted that it appears to cut through one of the triangle "mountain" shapes that are patterned into the revetment wall, indicating it was not part of the initial design. Despite not being part of the initial construction the addition came not long after the construction as indicated by the few layers that had time to build-up between the two moments of construction. Based on comparisons with J1 it seems that this stratum was a period of rebuilding and remodeling to prevent water damage. Likely this wall was added to prevent the runoff of water and erosion on the western edge of the apron. 133 Bakaya between stones. The Bakaya on top of the temple terrace has been attributed to the third millennium everywhere it was found. It appears that during the period of construction and use of the Temple terrace it was covered on top with a red bricky layer and backed with bayaka to protect the area. This bakaya at the top of the revetment wall is contemperaneous with the other constructions around the JP area. 134 This gap was created when the second apron was constructed. It is unclear when after construction the gap filled in. gB suggested that this gap was intentionally created as a water diversion tactic 135 Elevation equivalent to upper level brickfall features, covers some of the features associated with the brickfall use areas. Exposed between seasons so possibly contaminated. 136 Elevation equivalent to upper level brickfall features, covers some of the features associated with the brickfall use areas. Exposed between seasons so possibly contaminated. 137 Although this feature is potentially contaminated due to inter-season build-up, it is at the elevation equivalent with the post-brickfall use of the area. 138 Same as accumulation of k140 which is clearly part of the use during brickfall. 139 Covering use towards end of brickfall 140 Use area during brickfall, between construction of f232 and f144 141 Use area during brickfall, between construction of f232 and f144. see v78 142 Use floor associated with the use during the brickfall. Eventually this use was covered up and the stone f154 was put in place. Although the sherds are noted as Khabur by the excavators it is clear that this period should date to the Mittani phase. 143 Use area during brickfall, between construction of f232 and f144. see v78 144 Small curtain wall construction during the mid-brickfall use. An attempt to reclaim the area that was ultimately unsuccessful. 145 Use area during brickfall, between construction of f232 and f144. see v78 146 Cleaning operation in k100 so without proper context 147 At te same elevation as use areas between brickfall. See v80. 148 At the same elevation use areas between brickfall. See v80. 149 Brickfall covering use area associated with wall f144. 150 At the level of the small curtain walls. See v115. Although this feature is discussed as possibly similar to f174 and f171, it is not. At the time of the notes the excvators had not yet seen the slope of the accumulations near the revetment wall. These feature sloped down away from the wall and therefore accumulations such as f150 are coming up, filling in the sloped area, with the top elevations the same as EDIII accumulations closer to the wall in some cases. 151 This stone is embedded in the middle brickfall accumulation, indicates it probably fell sometime during the use before it was covered. 152 Upper level of brickfall, might be topped with the use area associated with the large stone f154. 153 This feature includes the scraping and cutting of EDIII accumulations in the lower part of k100. Although all the material is from the early layers it is impossible to assign this kind of operation to a specific strata, so it was left unassigned. 154 Since this stone has not been removed the materials underneath it are unknown. After the brickfall it appears the area was reused with small patchy accumulations above the brickfall. These use areas and floors may be associated with the use of the this stone as an offering stone. See v76. There are several small patchy areas such as f142 which may be the period of use associated with the placement and use of this stone. 156 Elevation puts this feature in the range of the post-brickfall use, but it was exposed between seasons and may be contaminated. 157 Likely part of the same deposit as f158, but potentially contaminated as it was exposed between seasons. 158 At an elevation equal to the top of the revetment wall, part of the accumulations that covered the post-brickfall use. 159 This feature spans the transition from the use area associated with the post-brickfall period, and the build-up that covered that use along with the large stone f154. 160 Baulk feature spanning almost 1 meter in depth. May contain materials from multiple strata. 162 Just after the brickfall, this area with numerous sherds is likely part of the use areas that accumulated on top of the degraded brickfall. 164 The upper elevation of this feature indicateds it was likely part of the post-brickfall use of the area, althought the lower portions of this feature (which is almost 1 meter thick) may belong to last phase of brickfall s158-JPD. 165 Based on elevation it is part of the post-brickfall use of the area, although it could be the uppermost levels of the degraded brickfall. 166 Mittani sherds (although mixed with some earlier sherds) indicate that this feature is one of the first Mittani deposits in the area in front of the revetment wall. May be mixed because EDIII accumulations were sloping and might be included in later features if the area was excavated in levels. Like f171 and f174 it is difficult to assign these features to an exact strata. They are at a higher elevation than some other Mittani deposits in J2, but they may actually be earlier due to the high elevations of the sloping EDIII layers underneath. It is likely that this feature belongs to sometime in the early Mittani, perhaps contemperaneous with the use after the brickfall. 167 Topsoil 168 Based on the elevation this layer may include more than one stratum. The majority probably belongs to this stratum. 169 Stratigraphically just under the topsoil, belongs to recent accumulation. 170 Floating stones sitting in potentially contaminated features, but likely belong to EDIII based on stratigraphy. 171 Includes mixed EDIII and Mittani sherds. Uppermost levels of EDIII accumulation before covered with Mittani debris. It is unclear which Mittani stratum this feature belongs to. It is at roughly the equivalent elevation as the post-brickfall use (similar to f174), but it would have already been high in the EDIII period, meaning that if it is part of post-brickfall use, there is no build-up during the pre-brickfall Mittani or during the brickfall phase. It may be that this area close to the revetment wall was kept clean and protected from build-up by the construction of the Mittani curtain wall (f288). 172 Pedestal holding tent pole in k101, that is roughly equivalent to features such as f174, and f140 so it spans several strata. For that reason it is left unassigned. 173 Contaminated by backfill 174 Interface of EDIII and Mittani. This feature is confusing as the excavators note is is roughly similar to f150, which is the post-brickfall use of the area, but there are no features equivalent to brickfall in k13 so it is possible that during the brickfall phase there was little build-up in this area as it was already higher and sloping down towards the curtain wall (f228), but then how would the upper curtain wall f224, get up so high in relation this feature? Probably because the accumulations from the EDIII slope down away from the revetment wall to the south. Close to the revetment wall this feature is at similar levels to the accumulations associated with the phase right after the brickfall, but as it goes south it slopes down, and is covered by the accumulations such as f200, which has the small curtain wall f224 resting on it. 175 Sitting in layers associated with the post-brickfall use. 176 The use area after the brickfall begins at approximately tthis elevation. 177 Based on the elevation this layer probably belongs to the post-brickfall accumulation, but the excavators did describe it as bricky in consistency, so it could be part of the upper level of the brickfall if it extended higher in some areas. 178 Upper brickfall layers after f144 is covered 179 Contaminated by backfill 180 Belongs to later brickfall phase as it is above the curtain wall f144. 181 Uppermost deposits of brickfall. 182 Upper EDIII accumulation at the base of the revetment wall. Same as f183. 183 Accumulation abutting the flanking wall f127 (see v93). It is one of the last EDIII deposits 185 According to w203, these stones are on the level with the top of the revetment wall, and ar dated to the period just as the revetment wall was covered. 186 According to sC, this feature is the same as f195, but the top elevation is perhaps higher, therefore this feature may include material from a later phase as well. 188 Upper level of brickfall 189 Upper level of brickfall 190 Due to the thickness of this feature it likely includes multiple strata. The topmost elevations of this feature are in the range of the last Mittani use of the area although the lower elevations probably include portions of the post-brickfall use. 191 Floating stone sitting in upper portion of f190 192 Includes backfill material 193 This feature likely contains several strata of material. In v117 it appears to contain the brickfall in the southern-most part of k15, while the top elevaitons indicate it is probably beginning around the level of the later Mittani use areas (s155-J2A) or possibly as high as the last Mittani use (s150-J2A). Due to the uncertainty I have assigned it to the latest possible strata. 194 This feature is one of the topmost features excavated in k100. The trench was already very deep from previous excavations, once the backfill was removed this feature was one of the first exposed. Based on the stratigraphy, it is just above the pebble pavements associated with the early EDIII but it may be contaminated. The floors in k110 to the east are also EDIII, which indicates that this feature should also belong to the EDIII. I have assigned it to this strata based on the connections to the underlying features but further excavations in k110 could help illuminate the dating of this level. 195 The elevation and relation to features such as f206, indicate it is at the level with the use towards the end of the Mittani. This feature is a natural accumulation, indicating the open air nature of the area. 196 This feature is one of the topmost features excavated in k100. The trench was already very deep from previous excavations, once the backfill was removed this feature was one of the first exposed. Based on the stratigraphy, it is just above the pebble pavements associated with the early EDIII but it may be contaminated. I have assigned it to this strata based on the connections to the underlying features but further excavations in k110 could help illuminate the dating of this level. 197 Use layer abutting small curtain wall f224 198 Stratigraphic connections with f199 indicate it is part of the use layer during the brickfall. 199 Based on the stratigraphic connections with f198 and f202 it appears to belong to the use phase during the brickfall. 200 This feature extends through several features, including the interface between Mittani and EDIII near the revetment wall. Because it is more than 60cm deep and spans an area with sloping accumulations it is difficult to assign to a stratum. It probably includes material from s610-JPD, s170-JPD, s160-JPD and s158-JPD 201 Accumulation just under the top layers 202 Elevations indicate it is in the upper levels of brickfall, likely after the use area had been covered. 203 Thick feature, approximately 60cm, which covers the top of the revetment wall, indicating it is part of the last use of the area, before the wall was covered and the area no longer important for access. 204 Elevation equivalent to brickfall features. 205 Uppermost pebble pavement in k100, but borders area contaminated by backfilling due to earlier excavations. Likely belongs to the Early EDIII but may be contaminated. 206 This feature is includes almost 1 meter of accumulation. Because it is a baulk, it is unclear if it includes more than one feature. Elevation suggests that the top level is above the stone, f154, which indicates the upper portion would be part of the final use of the area in the Mittani period. 207 Brickfall at elevation above the curtain walls. 208 Brickfall after the small curatin wall f232 209 Early EDIII pavement, mKB identified it as the topmost securely dated feature in k100. 210 Thick accumulation, may cover all three phases of brickfall. I have assigned it to the last brickfall phase. 211 Sloping brickfall 212 Hole cut into stone of staircase, probably is contemperaneous with placement of the stone. 213 Early EDIII pavement, stratigraphically located between 2 EDIII layers 214 Small pebble pavement dating to the same phase as the other pebble pavements, based on ceramics and stratigraphy 215 Pebble pavement above the N5-EDIII transition. Belongs to early EDIII layers in J2. 216 Brickfall layers associated with small curtain walls. 217 Brickfall layers associated with small curtain walls. 218 Brickfall layers associated with small curtain walls. 219 This feature is a baulk, and is likely composed of numerous features. See v130, which shows the multiople layers in the section that are part of the baulk. The majority of the features probably belong to the later EDIII period when the area was filling up with sloping accumulations. It is impossible to separate the feature into individual strata so it is assigned tentatively to the later strata. 220 This feature is approximately 1 meter deep so may include multiple strata. The top elevation is at the levels associated with the later use of the area after the brickfall was covered. 221 Contaminated by backfill 222 Elevation indicates this stone is in upper levels, may or not be associated with use during this stratum 223 Belongs to same stratum as f194, just above the pebble pavements, but before the construction of the monumental access (^mnacs) 224 Curtain wall on top of earlier wall (f288). It is an attempt to rebuild and maintain area after brickfall has already begun to cover area. 225 Elevation 226 Accumulation inside of curtain walls associated with use during brickfall 227 Accumulations after construction of flanking wall near base of revetment wall 228 Accumulations after construction of flanking wall near base of revetment wall 229 Accumulations after construction of flanking wall near base of revetment wall 230 Accumulation between the two small curtain walls that define the use during the brickfall phase. 231 Accumulation after flanking wall was built, near base of revetment wall. 232 Curtain wall inside of brickfall layers indicating attempts at reclamation and reuse during brickfall phase. 233 Elevation indicates it is roughly equivalent to upper levels of brickfall. 234 Accumulation after the construction of the flanking wall, near base of revetment wall. 235 Accumulation after the construction of the flanking wall, near base of revetment wall. 236 Accumulation after the construction of the flanking wall, near base of revetment wall. 237 Scraping of section, therefore includes mixed strata and features 238 This accumulation abuts f240, so likely belongs to the same stratum 239 Accumulation after the first construction, probably goes under f127, see v105. 240 Accumulation after the first construction, does not quite cover f248 and f247. see v107 241 Accumulation with ash, pottery and pebbles indicates it was part of the use of the area after the brickfall. Elevation indicates it is part of the latest use. 242 Use area just on top of the brickfall, 243 Topsoil 244 Just after the construction, accumulations begin to fill in area at the base of the revetment wall. 245 This feature is stratigraphically just above the early features associated with the construction of the revetment wall. It is unclear what relation it has to the flanking wall (f127), but it is likely just before the reconstruction associated with the flanking wall. 246 Accumulation after the first construction, does not quite cover f248 and f247. see v107 247 Sloping accumulation, hard and gray, may possibly be the laid floor from the moment of construction of the revetment wall. 248 Sloping accumulation, hard and gray, may possibly be the laid floor from the moment of construction of the revetment wall. 249 This walking surface has pits and ceramics on top of the brickfall. Probably associated with the attempts to continue to use the area after the brickfall. 250 Hole cutting through numerous features, appears to cut through lower accumulations at base of revetment wall. 251 Hole cutting through numerous features, appears to cut through lower accumulations at base of revetment wall. 253 This accumulation is one of the lowest at the base of the revetment wall. It probably dates to immediately after the wall was constructed. 254 Pit south of the revetment wall, it is dug into layer after the large stone f154 was already covered. Belongs to the last major use of the area, probably towards the end of the Mittanni period. 255 Pit south of the revetment wall, it is dug into layer after the large stone f154 was already covered. Belongs to the last major use of the area, probably towards the end of the Mittanni period. 256 Accumulation between pebble pavements, associated with earliest EDIII deposits in J2. 257 Leaning stone against flanking wall f127, part of the original construction of this wall 258 Pebble pavement above the N5-EDIII transition. Belongs to early EDIII layers in J2. 259 Same as f193 260 Portion of the brickfall just under the small curtain wall 261 See v100. This portion of the brickfall comes up against the small curtain walls indicating it was part of the second portion of the brickfall that covered the use. 262 Elevation and location relative to to f252 indicate this stone is part of the later floating stones. 263 Elevation and location relative to to f252 indicate this stone is part of the later floating stones. 265 Part of the curtain wall f144 that is part of the use during the brickfall. 266 Part of the early EDIII deposits associated with the construction and use of the sequene of pebble pavements 267 Pebble pavement above the N5-EDIII transition. Belongs to early EDIII layers in J2. 268 Fill of the pit cut in the SW corner of k100. Originally not recognized as the fill of pit, but it is clear from v118 that it is part of the pit. 269 It is unclear to me if this feature is actully part of the construction of the small curtian wall or not. If it is it likely belongs to the earlier Mittani deposits in the area, if it is an accumulation against the wall, then it should be presumed to be a later deposit. Furthermore, it is unclear if the upper stones of the wall, designated as f224 is a later addition to the wall f288. 270 This feature is a volumetric feature, it was left in place to suport the stones that had collapsed from f127 before they were removed. See v117. Because it was volumetrically defined it likely includes multiple deposits. The upper sloping layers however, come against the small curtain wall suggested they accumulated after the wall was constructed. For this reason I have assigned these features to the same phase as the brickfall when the area was filling up, even though this feature itself is not composed of brickfall material. 271 This deposit is a small pedastal under a fallen stone. Based on the elevation the accumulated material probably belongs to the middle of the brickfall strata. 272 This thin layer between pebble floors was originally attributed to a later stratum, but after f380 was recognized as an earlier construction the pebble floors and associated deposits such as this feature were determined to be earlier. Based on the ceramnics from the surrounding pebble pavements this deposit belongs in the Early EDIII. 273 Very thick brickfall layer. Possibly includes brickfall from all three phases of the brickfall. Dated to middle portion. 274 At same elevation as deposits just below the topsoil 275 Inside of a feature just below the topsoil 276 Just after the Ninevite 5 floors this floor is one of the earliest EDIII deposits in J2. 277 This features is composed of brickfall, it is very deep and probably spans both phases of the brickfall. 284 Hole in apron stone 285 Fill of hole associated with f286 286 f286 was excavated on a level surface and is also 70cm thick. Therefore it may contain more than one moment in time. In the east it appears to be just above the EDIII deposits, while in the west is certainly composed of brickfall. There are some pits cut into this feature that suggest it might have been present during the time of the use of the brickfall (s159-JPD) or it may lie just under the brickfall. Due to the uncertainty I am assigning it to the first phase of the brickfall. It does not appear to be EDIII, and definitely includes some brickfall features. The uppermost (and easternmost) portions might be more properly assigned to s159-JPD. 287 Pebble floor of transition between late Ninevite 5 and early EDIII. mKB dates it to EDIII based on ceramics 288 This feature was cut into the earlier EDIII deposits so contains some mixed materials. 289 This feature appears to be part of the construction of the wall f288, but was in actuality a baulk so it possibly contains multiple features. It is primarily associated with the construction of the wall and so has been tentatively assigned to that stratum. 290 Ashy build-up between curtain wall f288 and revetment wall (f128). Appears to be under the bricky material of f293. These accumulations seem to be uneven and probably represent the period when the area was not maintained during the Early Mittani. 291 mKB dated this feature to Late Ninevite 5 based on the ceramics. 292 Stratigraphically this feature is under f291 which was dated to the Late Ninevite 5. It is the topmost pebble floor before the transition to EDIII and so one would expect some mixed EDIII sherds as well. 293 This feature is described by the excavators as "bricky", which suggests it may be part of the brickfall in area. It is located north of the wall f288, however, which was not known to have any brickfall. See v161, which indicates the brickfall did not extend north of the wall. It is possible that it is bricky material associated with the construction of the wall rather than actual brickfall. It seems that this accumulation probably dates to the period immediately after the construction of the wall. 294 mKB dated this feature to Late Ninevite 5 based on the ceramics. 295 This featue may contain some intrusive later sherds but likely belongs to later phases of EDIII. 296 Same as f150 which is an ashy use area associated with the construction of the small curtain walls during the brickfall. 297 One of the uppermost layers associated with the EDIII period. 298 Pit that cuts through f286, it is right after the first brickfall begins, part of the use of the area during the brickfall. It is just before the small curtain walls are built in the same area. 299 Pit that cuts through f286, it is right after the first brickfall begins, part of the use of the area during the brickfall. It is just before the small curtain walls are built in the same area. 300 Pit that cuts through f286, it is right after the first brickfall begins, part of the use of the area during the brickfall. It is just before the small curtain walls are built in the same area. 301 Fill of pit that cuts through f286, it is right after the first brickfall begins, part of the use of the area during the brickfall. It is just before the small curtain walls are built in the same area. 302 Based on the stratigraphic location below f292, this feature is likely dated to the late Ninevite 5, similar to f291 and 294. 303 Part of the later EDIII deposits in J2. Although the elevation is below the base of the revetment wall this is due to the slope in the area and it would actually be the same as the higher deposits immediately south of the revetment wall. 304 Although this feature was originally identfied by the excavators in 2005 as part of the pebble floor deposits it was clear in 2009 that it was the fill of the pit in the SE corner of k100, therefore it is assigned to the stratum associated with this cut. 305 Elevations indicate it is in the upper levels of brickfall, likely after the use area had been covered. 306 Sloping layer, probably dating towards end of EDIII occupation in k14. This was then overlaid by f303 and then by the early Mittani deposits. 307 Just after the construction of the flanking wall. Unclear exact periodization as ceramics are still unanalyzed. Could be subject to further revision 308 Just after the construction of the flanking wall. Unclear exact periodization as ceramics are still unanalyzed. Could be subject to further revision 309 Just after the construction of the flanking wall 310 Possibly the same as f350 which is dated by ceramics to Late EDIII, probably belongs to early Late EDIII based on stratigraphy. It is at roughly the same elevation as the lower brickfall and so is probably eroded. It may include mixed ceramics, especially if it was excavated on level plane, it would have been cut by erosion in the west. 311 Part Mittani restructuring? Shallow pits dug through EDIII layers, just under brickfall. Probably date to phase right before the brickfall. 312 Part Mittani restructuring? Shallow pits dug through EDIII layers, just under brickfall. Probably date to phase right before the brickfall. 313 Baulk with no elevations or localization. Recording Error. 314 Upper layers against the revetment wall. Baulk feature so it is difficult to correlate with use areas. 315 Should be same as f353 although elevations are unclear. 316 This feature is approximately the same elevation as f353 and is also located south of the apron. The notes from mH indicate that the ceramics were mixed in date but this may be due to the erosion f366, which cuts some of the floor features in the west, meaning that some features that were excavated on a level plane included some material from the brickfall as well. 317 It is difficult to assign when these stones came to rest on the apron. They are relatively low on the apron, suggesting that they fell before the area was substantially covered. They probably belong to the period immediately before the brickfall or right at the beginning of the brickfall. The elevation would suggest they are inside the brickfall but they may have fallen before being covered by brickfall. 318 This baulk is composed of brickfall (see v115) and overlays the small curtain wall f323. This small curtain wall defines the use phase inside the brickfall and therefore the brickfall of f318 which comes over it must belong to the second phase of the brickfall. 319 Hard gray layer associated with the construction of the monumental access. The type of contact with f127, the flanking wall, was not recorded originally but it likely runs underneath. In future excavations when the baulk just south of f127 is removed this question can be investigated further. 320 These stones are sitting in f171 which is the transition point of EDIII and Mittani. These stones probably fell in place some time after the EDIII use, representing the non-maitainence of the area. For that reason I have dated them to early Mittani. 321 Same as f171 which is uppermost levels of sloping accumulations from EDIII period. f171 includes mixed ceramics from EDIII and Mittani. Unclear which phase exactly to assign the feature since it is mixed. 322 Mixed feature of accumulations that stones for f127 collapsed onto. It is unknown when excactly the stones collapse but it is presumably during the Mittani times when the area was no longer kept up. 324 This feature includes Mittani sherds but may in fact be earlier. The erosion created an uneven surface in front of the apron and when features were excavated on a level surface they may have accidentally included both third and second millennium materials. 325 This feature was originally considered to be Mittani based on inclusion of Mittani sherds, but instead those sherds might have been included through the process of constructing the wall f288. It is possible then that this feature is actually from the third millennium. Above it is f310 which is tentatively associated with f350 which was dated to the late EDIII period. 326 Should be assigned to same as f329 327 This feature has mixed Mittani deposits it in but that may because the erosion cut of f366 was not noticed at first and features that were excavated on a level plain would include brickfall in the western sections and third millennium material in the east. Roughly the same elevation and description as f355 from later excvations. f355 was dated to Late EDIII, or late-Mid-EDIII 328 At approximately the elevation where the securely dated features transition from Mid-EDIII to Late EDIII. Could feasibly be assigned to either grouping. 329 At approximately the elevation where the securely dated features transition from Mid-EDIII to Late EDIII. Could feasibly be assigned to either grouping. 330 At approximately the elevation where the securely dated features transition from Mid-EDIII to Late EDIII. Could feasibly be assigned to either grouping. 332 Based on comparative elevations this feature should be around the elevation of mid-EDIII features such as f358 333 Part of construction of f127 334 Mittani wall 335 Accumulation inside and under Mittani curtain wall. 336 Accumulation under the Mittani wall. 337 Mixed Mittani and EDIII, unidentified ashy features inside. 339 The nature of this feature is unclear, but it appears to be a surface formed by the processes of erosion. It may have been partially eroded in the third millennium but it was furhter damaged in the mid-Mittani when the erosion of f366 happened. For this reason I have assigned this feature to the Mittani although it could be revised with further information. Similar to f371. 344 Late EDIII floor in front of the apron. This is the highest preserved floor. It is possible there were more floors above this feature but they were destroyed or removed in antiquity due to erosion. The brickfall falls directly on this feature. 347 Late EDIII deposit in south k110 348 Although there is not direct stratigraphic connection it appears to be similar to f379 which is dated to the moment between the construction of the monumental access and the flanking wall. The reddish color, however, suggests that it may be similar to f359, the salmon floor which is presumed constructed at the same time as the flanking wall 349 Stones associated with construction of Mittani curtain wall 350 Late EDIII deposit in south k110 351 Inside of Mittani wall 352 Under the Mittani wall, may contain mixed ceramics from both third and second millennium as the construction of the wall seems to have disturbed the surrounding accumulations somewhat. See v130 for the disturbance of third millennium deposits north of the wall. 353 Late EDIII based on ceramics from mKB 354 Although this feature is directly on top of the f319 which was dated to the construction of the monumental access it appears to be considerably later. Any accumulations that may have overlaid f319 appear to have been removed by erosion. The thin laminations of these layers indicates the presence of water, probably water that caused the erosion f366. As a result I have assigned the damaged features in this corner near the flanking wall f127 to the same stratum as the major erosion event. 355 Late EDIII based on ceramics from mKB, elevation similar to f327. 356 Brickfall directly on cut of erosion. 357 Dated to Mid-EDIII based on ceramics, also stratigrapically below features assigned to Late EDIII 358 Dated to Mid-EDIII based on ceramics, also stratigrapically below features assigned to Late EDIII 359 It appears that this feature is associated with the construction of the flanking wall f127. It may represent a purposefully laid floor designed to perserve and protect the area in front of the apron. The exact connections to f127 are not clear as there is a baulk at the base of the wall and additionallly f359 is damaged by erosion close to the base of the apron (f131). 361 Late EDIII based on connections with f353 and f355. 362 Possibly the same as f355 which is dated by ceramics to Late EDIII, probably belongs to early Late EDIII based on stratigraphy 363 Similar in elevation to f330, f329 in same area. 364 Just above f365, it does not appear to be significantly later in time. It continues around to the area south of the revetment wall and may serve as one feature to help connect the two areas. 365 This feature is clearly after the construction of the flanking wall. It may be considered to be Late EDIII in which case it should be assigned to a slightly later strata. The ceramics appear to indicate that it may be a mid-EDIII feature with some later sherds mixed in. It seems to me that the later sherds could be a result of the use of the area and the damages of erosion. 366 This erosion happens immediately before the brickfall. If there were earlier Mittani activities they were erased by this erosion. 367 Cuts into f359 so must be after, although not too long after as f359 was still visible and being used. 368 Part of f369 which was found under f359. 369 Under f359, only visible where the erosion cut through f359 and exposed lower layers. 370 Floor just after the rebuilding, Associated with f367, f368. 371 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. 373 Part of salmon-floor f359 which has been associated with the construction of f127. 375 Should be assigned to same as f365 as it was only identified in section. 376 Cuts into f359 so must be after, although not too long after as f359 was still visible and being used. 377 Above f392 which is presumed first floor but under f359 which belongs to the construction of the flanking wall f127. If is actually subfloor of f359 (which is unclear) it should be moved to later stratum. 378 Above f392 which is presumed first floor but under f359 which belongs to the construction of the flanking wall f127 379 Above f392 which is presumed first floor but under f359 which belongs to the construction of the flanking wall f127 381 Above f392 which is presumed first floor but under f359 which belongs to the construction of the flanking wall f127 386 Late Ninevite V decorated body sherds 387 Based on stratigraphic connection to f386 388 Late Ninevite V shapes and decoration and also Metallic ware sherds. 389 This feature was possibly thought to be EDIII, but further examination indicates a presence of Late Ninevite 5 incised and grooved sherds. As a result this feature was assigned to the late Ninevite 5. 390 This feature was not excavated but based on its stratigraphic location under f389 which was dated to Late Ninevite 5 it should belong to the same stratum. 391 This feature was not excavated but based on its stratigraphic location under f389 which was dated to Late Ninevite 5 it should belong to the same stratum. 392 This gray floor was only identified in section. It is suggested that it is a floor associated with the first moment of construction of the monumental access. As a result it has been assigned to the same stratum as the construction. When this feature is excavated this assignment should be reviewed. endlist
