Giparu | SF - UrOnline

General

Context Title:	Giparu \| SF
Context Name (Excavation):	SF
Context Name (Publication):	E-gig-par
Context Description:	The excavation area abbreviation SF refers to the southeastern portion of the giparu (KP). This building was very large and in season 3 its full extents were not yet known. It was being excavated from the north (HDB) and the south (SF) simultaneously, thus it initially received different abbreviations. SF may stand for South Face or South Front, though this is nowhere recorded. Legrain records "Gipar-ku, SE part" for this context. The shape of the giparu changed through the centuries and SF runs to join with the dublalmah to the east, as that building merged with the giparu in the Neo-Babylonian period.
Season Number:	03: 1924-1925
