Comment on the phasing of the object Phasing Comment:	Recorded as: (AK. Road. B-1m.). AK is probably T.T.5 but there are no clear records of where this is meant to be except the report says 'Area. T.T.5. (A.K.)' so is presumable similar. T.T.5 is a very disturbed level between the abandonment of the Halaf settlement and the Ubaid levels. Stylistically very typically ArpMid.
