Context Title:	Ningal Temple \| HD
Context Name (Excavation):	Hall's Dump
Context Name (Publication):	Ningal Temple; Southern Ziggurat Terrace
Context Description:	The excavation area abbreviation HD stands for Hall's Dump. When H.R. Hall investigated portions of the ziggurat in 1919, he left a great deal of back-dirt to the south of the structure. Woolley worked for several seasons clearing the rest of the ziggurat and in season 3 he removed Hall's back-dirt dump. It had covered most of the southern ziggurat terrace, and moving it revealed a temple to Ningal of the Neo-Babylonian and Kassite periods as well as a series of rooms of these late periods probably used for storage. In the earlier periods, the southern terrace was largely free from structures.
Season Number:	03: 1924-1925
