	Ningal Temple \| Unit C \| A-P 1-8	The sanctuary stood as a complete and independent entity. Rooms and courts are all interconnected, It has it's own name, the E.NUN. It has a similar plan to private houses with added features like washing places, stele, benches, etc. There are storage jars, weavers pits, a large kitchen, and economic tablets attest to a varied activities involved in running an estate.	(none)
	Ningal Temple \| HD	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.	(none)
