A98.NLabeling 2008-9-1pC f164 is the same as J4 f150 [Input file: U717PC2.J / U717PC2.-J]

Description/Count
Description 2008-9-1pC It is the glacis east of wall f129, of a red orange granular soil; the main characteristic is that it slopes sharply to the south, beginning as thick compact band and ending as a thin orizontal layer ( f183). The purpose of this glacis is still not clear: a probable explanation is that it was meant to protect wall f129. It probably continues to the east as f187 in k74 [Input file: U717PC2.J / U717PC2.-J]

Recovery/Assignment and the Record
Argument 2008-9-1pC f187 was found in connection with wall f166 and was not excavated completely, so we could not determine whether it is the same as f164. The equivalence is based only on the assumption that the elevation and the type of material (red orange granular with Late Akkadian material, as pottery and seal) in both glacis are similar.
