Corinth Basket: South Stoa, context 160 | Collection: | | Corinth | | Type: | | Basket | | Name: | | South Stoa, context 160 | | Area: | | South Stoa | | Context Type: | | deposit | | Title: | | Surface 158 | | Category: | | Deposit | | Notebook: | | 1109 | | Context: | | 160 | | Date: | | 2015/05/28 | | Lot: | | Lot 2015-055 | | Stratum: | | 20% coarse pebbles, 10% cobbles | | Description: | | Top slope of the context is slight down to the E. The soil color is light yellowish brown. The soil compaction is compact. The soil is poorly sorted. It is silty sand. | | Notes: | | This context is the only remaining sectioning surface in the NW quad. It is blacker and more compact than the red soil surrrounding it. This area of Room C was heavily disturbed, which probably caused most of the surface to deteriorate. We think it is of similar composition to the surface 121 in the SQ quadrant. It meets the wall 44, not overlaid by any RT or FT. The context was closed when it revealed a reddish soil, similar to that found all around this context, but more compact. This red also runs right up to the wall. The furthest N pocket revealed a more grey pocket than the rest of the context. This creates a circular boundary of greyish soil along the N edge of the context. No FT was revealed along the wall 44. The context revealed an oval pit (163) on its N boundary where the ashy grey soil is. | | Context Pottery: | | Fineware. Rom- ESA, bowl. 1 rim. (saved to lot) .; Fineware. Attic, fishplate.
