Corinth Basket: Nezi Field, context 1040 | Collection: | | Corinth | | Type: | | Basket | | Name: | | Nezi Field, context 1040 | | Area: | | Nezi Field | | Title: | | Cut of possible robbing trench filled by 1031 | | Notebook: | | 1107 | | Context: | | 1040 | | Page: | | 0 | | Date: | | 2013/04/12 | | Description: | | The context shape in plan is rectrangular. The top break of the cut is sharp. The sides of the cut are vertical. The break at the base of the cut is sharp. The base of the cut is flat. Truncation: Truncated at the north by previous excavations and at the south by Cut 870. | | Notes: | | This robbing trench for a wall is located in the north of the excavation area and just E of the SE corner of the Turkish House. The robbing trench runs N-S and on its south end is cut by Cut 870. However, another robbing trench, of wall 918 (cut 919), with an E-W orientation, runs perpendicular to it and might have cut it, but since that part of the cut was destroyed by Pit 870, we cannot tell with certainty. The wall might have run further south, because in the southern scarp of Pit 870, a possible robbing trench at the same orientation is visible and the two features seem to be at approximately the same elevation. | | Period: | | Middle Byzantine (802-1058 AD) | | Chronology: | | late 10th-11th c.
