Corinth Basket: Nezi Field, context 7198 | Collection: | | Corinth | | Type: | | Basket | | Name: | | Nezi Field, context 7198 | | Area: | | Nezi Field | | Context Type: | | Foundation trench | | Title: | | Foundation Trench Fill | | Category: | | Deposit | | Notebook: | | 1104 | | Context: | | 7198 | | Page: | | 0 | | Date: | | 2010/06/10 | | Stratum: | | 5% ceramic sherds, bone, medium subangular pebbles | | Description: | | Top slope of the context is level. The soil color is dark reddish brown. The soil compaction is soft. The soil is well sorted. It is sandy silt. | | Notes: | | This is a foundation trench for wall 7200, which is in the room NE of the courtyard. This is to the east of the small portion of the N-S wall, 7200, that is in the northern part of the room to the east of stone structure 7092. To the south of this was bothros 7189, and to the east appears to be several layers of flooring. In the removal of this deposit, we have hit a part of the cave system under the room. In this, we found a plastic wrapper for peanuts. It is possible that the pottery from this deposit is contaminated, hopefully only from lower levels, not affecting the latest datable material. | | Context Pottery: | | Coarseware. mid byz, amphora. 1 bodysherd. ; Cooking ware. concave thickened rim stewpot (800-950)1 rim.
