Context Title: Cemetery Y     
Context Name (Excavation): Cemetery Y     
Context Name (Publication): YC     
Context Description: Season 1 catalog cards contain this context location referring to graves discovered along the northwest temenos wall. The graves labeled Y typically fell east/northeast of those labeled X. Originally believed to be a late period cemetery (along with cemeteries X and Z nearby), it was found that the graves lying near the surface here were originally located beneath the floors of a domestic area that had almost completely denuded. Later work in the area revealed portions of Kassite houses. These were published as area YC.
