Stratigraphy

Phase 7c (s190) encompasses pits and their fills that were cut into the EDIII glacis. There is no specific information that would date these actions or reveal their purpose. There were seeds in two, but they were touched in extraction and rendered useless for carbon dating. We conservatively date this stratum to the early Mittani period. The pits could have been dug at any time but since no recovered ceramics dated between EDIII and Mittani occupations, we assume that this area remained sacred and clean until the pits were dug.

Typology

Minimal ceramics were recovered. Charred seeds were the significant items.
