Site Description | Oval mound with recent house remain on to and east side. Possibly Archi called this Domuztepe. |
Survey Conditions(include time spent on site) | Poor, much grey dust on east, west much better |
Collection Comments | This looks like the best purely second millennium site that we have, should be restudied, sherds covered with salt crust, plain open bowls, cream-buff, straw tempered, bifide handled flask, smoothed lugged cooking pot |
Collection Summary | Sherd count Flint count |
Obsidian count | 1 |
Halaf note | SC noted a few interesting painted pieces but said they don't look like the "real mcCoy" to him (SC 9-98) one more sherd found - LDS gave to SC (9/12/98) |
Ubaid note | supposed to have had 5 ubaid sherds on it but on 2nd look, 1998, SC pulled 5 poss pieces for CE to draw///(CE has it listed in her 12-02 diss revisions as positive attribution) |
Middle Bronze Age note | Trefoil pitcher, heavy undercut rim, some burnished, some painted. |
Late Bronze Age note | Painted and plain LB handled jug (this jug if it's dwg #150 - could be MB too lds 6-00) |
Iron Age note | none (LDS 9-98) /Only IA possibilities are not very secure at all (6-00) //But, it has a possible example of kindergarden ware on this site (IF IF IF my note in Kinet H comments in Bloknote refers to that sloppy red painted vessel - probably the one drawn by Freya whose dwg has disappeared. If so, it predates the mid 8th century IA cf Postaget and Hansen AS 1999:117 cf Tille Blaylock also). If this is so one wonders why nothing else IAish is noted for the site (7-00) The note of straw tempered wares might point to an EIA component I missed in 1998. //Veg tempered platter poss IA - but so generic as to be hard to depend on as a diag.
