Corinth Basket: Nezi Field, context 6996 | Collection: | | Corinth | | Type: | | Basket | | Name: | | Nezi Field, context 6996 | | Area: | | Nezi Field | | Context Type: | | Fill | | Title: | | fill of pit or foundation trench | | Category: | | Deposit | | Notebook: | | 1104 | | Context: | | 6996 | | Page: | | 0 | | Date: | | 2010/05/19 | | Stratum: | | 10% small and medium pebbles, pottery | | Description: | | Top slope of the context is level. The soil color is dark brownish grey. The soil compaction is soft. The soil is well sorted. It is clayey silt. | | Notes: | | 6996 is an ashy layer beneath 6995 and to its east, but is softer and with more inclusions that the compact ash layer of 6995. We originally speculated that this soil could continue to the west of 6995, but it stops at 6995’s western edge. We speculate that 6996 might be part of a foundation trench for wall 6985, or perhaps fill of a pit dug against wall 6985. | | Context Pottery: | | Fineware. plain glazed, unslipped (800-1100), mug. ; Fineware. pre medieval3 bodysherds. ; Coarseware. pedestal, plate. 1 bodysherd. ; Fineware. ww plain (700-1120)1 rim. ; Fineware. plain glazed, unslipped (800-1100), chafing dish. 1 rim. 1 bodysherd. ; Fineware. ww polychrome (1050-1120), cup. 1 bodysherd. ; Coarseware. pitcher. 1 bodysherd. ; Cooking ware. ww, kettle. 3 bodysherds. ; Fineware. ww painted (700-1120), plate. 1 bodysherd. ; Cooking ware. inwardly sloping rim stewpot (950-150)1 rim. ; Cooking ware. collar rim stew pot (1000-1100)1 rim. ; Cooking ware. mug. | | Pottery Summary: | | 5 frag(s) 0.06 kg.
