Corinth Basket: Nezi Field, context 6127 | Collection: | | Corinth | | Type: | | Basket | | Name: | | Nezi Field, context 6127 | | Area: | | Nezi Field | | Context Type: | | Surface | | Title: | | floor | | Category: | | Deposit | | Notebook: | | 1103 | | Context: | | 6127 | | Page: | | 0 | | Date: | | 2009/04/16 | | Stratum: | | 40 % (tile, ceramics, spherical medium and coarse pebbles, cobbles) | | Description: | | The soil color is dark yellowish red. The soil compaction is loose. The soil is poorly sorted. It is sandy silt. | | Notes: | | We are excavating a baulk left as a martyr on the S side of foundation 5552 by the 1960s excavation. We are attempting to establish the chronology of the walls in the area. Floor 6127 is the same as floor 6024 (same composition, inclusion, elevation, etc.). Removal of floor 6024 revealed another floor, or perhaps leveling fill since so much bone and other refuse was visible on the surface. Removal of floor 6127 revealed the same type of material which we now strongly suspect to be leveling fill or perhaps a "construction floor," that is, a floor used during construction of the room and then overlaid by a nicer floor after the construction was complete. | | Context Pottery: | | Cooking ware. ww, kettle. 2 rims. 1 bodysherd. | | Pottery Summary: | | 10 frag(s) 0.24 kg.
