![]() | Persian House | PH | A few artifacts excavated in the first season at Ur are recorded with the excavation area abbreviation PH. The artifacts are ceramics of the Persian period, so it seems the abbreviation stands for Persian House or Persian Housing. There is no clear indication of where this domestic area was located but it is very likely to be along the northern edge of the temenos wall where other late period artifacts were excavated in the same season. These were said to come from Cemeteries X, Y, and Z, all of which were near each other along the line of or just north of the Neo-Babylonian temenos wall and were later found to be graves from beneath the floors of late period (Neo-Babylonian and Persian) houses. The context was never published on its own but instead is likely to be a part of the later assigned excavation area abbreviation XNCF. | (none) |
