Corinth Basket: Nezi Field, context 508 | Collection: | | Corinth | | Type: | | Basket | | Name: | | Nezi Field, context 508 | | Area: | | Nezi Field | | Context Type: | | Pit | | Title: | | pit fill, first from top | | Category: | | Deposit | | Notebook: | | 1103 | | Context: | | 508 | | Page: | | 0 | | Date: | | 2009/05/06 | | Lot: | | Lot 2009-060 | | Stratum: | | 35% small-large subrounded pebbles, bone, mortar, cobbles, rooftile fragments, boulders | | Description: | | Top slope of the context is level. The soil color is dark reddish brown. The soil compaction is loose. The soil is poorly sorted. It is sandy silt. | | Notes: | | Pit fill deposit 508 is the fill of a pit revealed by the removal of a lense of slumped fill 507. It appears that the cut, for which deposit 508 fill, was made through the fill of a larger pit from which 2 lenses of slumped fill in addition to 507 (505, 506) have already been removed. The oval cut filled by deposit 508, which cuts through a limestone block, is reminiscent of a well cut, though this should become clearer as excavation of the fill continues. The animal bone inclusions in this deposit show very little weathering and may indicate a later date of deposition. Excavation of fill deposit 508 continued until a soil change; the removal of the pit/well fill deposit 508 revealed a subsequent fill with more carbon inclusions. It is decided to change the context and procede with the excavation of the second from the top pit/well fill 509. | | Context Pottery: | | Cooking ware. vertical rim stewpot (1270-1320)2 rims.
