Corinth Basket: Nezi Field, context 6911 | Collection: | | Corinth | | Type: | | Basket | | Name: | | Nezi Field, context 6911 | | Area: | | Nezi Field | | Context Type: | | Fill | | Title: | | Fill under sub-floor | | Category: | | Deposit | | Notebook: | | 1104 | | Context: | | 6911 | | Page: | | 0 | | Date: | | 2010/05/12 | | Stratum: | | large pieces of tile, pottery | | Description: | | Top slope of the context is level. The soil color is dark greyish brown. The soil compaction is soft. The soil is very poorly sorted. It is sandy silt. | | Notes: | | 6911 is fill, possibly of some kind of surface. After excavating 6886 as a single context, we noticed that the soil beneath divided into 2 areas, one of grayish brown soil with large tile inclusions (6911) and a more reddish area with fewer inclusions (6912). We are trying to understand the relationship of 6911 to 6900 and the areas abutting 6911 to the east and south east. After excavation, it is now clear that the bottom of 6911 is the same soil as the reddish area immediately to the east. | | Context Pottery: | | Fineware. pre-roman2 bodysherds. ; Coarseware. mid byz, amphora. 43 bodysherds. | | Pottery Summary: | | 2 frag(s) 0.01 kg.
