Context Name (Excavation): North of Nebuchadnezzar's Corner Fort     
Context Description: This area lies beyond (north/northwest of) Nebuchadnezzar's corner fort (NCF) at the west corner of the temenos wall. In seasons 10 and 11 the area was somewhat systematically excavated, initially creating a shallow trench from the northwest terrace and temenos wall almost to the city wall some 100 meters away. According to the 1932 reports, it was "enlarged into a regular excavation covering the area of a number of houses," and this expansion was continued in season 11. Excavations were taken through Persian (mostly surface) level down only a small depth to relatively well preserved house remains of the late Kassite and Neo-Babylonian periods. Many of the houses had graves under their floors. Woolley did not map or record the houses or graves, saying in his Antiquaries Journal report for 1932 (p.390): "They produced no objects of importance, but the graves did yield a certain number of glazed vases, beads and seals." Publication does not do justice to the extent of this excavation area. Only XNCF, a smaller excavation of domestic space along the NW temenos is published in UE8 and that in only a few paragraphs.

17946 32-40-50 (none) (none) Incense burner. Clay. [drawing]

18199A 32-40-47 (none) (none) Clay tables (?) [A-B]. Two: found together. Flat-topped circular three-legged tables with a small hole in the cetner due to a depression underneath. In each case there is underneath a drop of glaze which has fallen on this side and run towards the central hollow. The objects therefore seem to have been used as tripod supports with the 'table-top' downwards as base, which was to be treated with glaze.
18166D 32-40-453 (none) (none) Beads. Very small carnelians, date shaped, ring and double conoid, and one or two lapis they made a finger ring. Also 2 silver earrings thus, but broken [reference to drawing that has been excised from catalog card].
18166C 32-40-452 (none) (none) Beads. Very small carnelians, date shaped, ring and double conoid, and one or two lapis they made a finger ring. Also 2 silver earrings thus, but broken [reference to drawing that has been excised from catalog card].
