Description (summary) 2006-10-09 jW Higher level of compacted fill below the cut of pit a6 in the northeast corner of k23. It was excavated to see if the material used to construct the temple mound behind the revetment wall, f11, was the same as that found last year in the excavation of the typological column k104 and k105. It was similar in that it was of various constencies, containing the occasional mudbrick. The pottery was Late Chalcolithic. There were no other materials such as seal impressions to help date the deposit with more precision. [Input: QX09JW.j]

Stratigraphic reasons of assignment 2012-10-07 jW Higher of two soil layers excavated from below the bottom of pit a6 to determine the sub-surface components of glacis f109. [Input: WX07JW.j]
Typological reasons for assignment 2012-10-07 jW Recovered ceramics were Late Chalcolithic. The three items were a lithic fragment, a piece of touched charcoal and a shell bead. [Input: WX07JW.j]
Other reasons, reservations, qualifications 2012-10-07 jW Each of the three pits cut into the EDIII glacis (a5, a6, a10) was excavated below the cut to determine the date of features below. We anticipated that this material might be the source of the Late Chalcolithic sherds and Uruk seal impressions found in feature f252, above he pit cut of a10. The stratum assigned reflects an intermediate interval between LC3 and EDIII periods. [Input: WX07JW.j]
