Description (summary) 2006-10-09 jW Bottom of two fills of pit a5, cut into the baqaya glacis, f109, before it was covered by the wahal glacis. As with the top fill, the contents provided little evidence of the purpose for which the pit was dug. Because this fill was so hard, it may be the top of a number of compacted fills used to construct the temple mound behind the revetment wall, before the slope was covered with baqaya.

Notes on volumetric localization 2010-08-17 mM1 the measured bottom elevation (9213) exceeds the top elevation (9200), which is impossible. q247, which sits in f172, has a top elevation of 9213, while f128 (a pit), in which f127 is sitting, has a bottom elevation of 9200. Therefore I conclude that the measurements of the top and of the bottom are reversed. The bottom elevation should be 9200, while the top elevation should have a measurement 9213. [Input: U817MM1.j]

Stratigraphic reasons of assignment 2012-10-07 jW Lower of two fills of pit a5 dug into the EDIII glacis. [Input: WX07JW.j]
Typological reasons for assignment 2012-10-07 jW Ceramics have not been fully analyzed. [Input: WX07JW.j]
Other reasons, reservations, qualifications 2012-10-07 jW Pit fill was covered by fill f122. Preliminarily dated to the early Mittani period because that is when the area above the glacis seems to have lost its sacred function. [Input: WX07JW.j]
