Corinth Basket: Temple E, Southeast, context 855
Collection:   Corinth
Type:   Basket
Name:   Temple E, Southeast, context 855
Area:   Temple E, Southeast
Title:   Small deposit by SE corner room 8
Category:   Deposit
Notebook:   1109
Context:   855
Date:   2015/06/16
Stratum:   20% tabular sub-rounded medium size pebbles.
Description:   Top slope of the context is level. The soil color is dark yellowish brown. The soil compaction is soft. The soil is well sorted. It is silt.
Notes:   08.41: This small context is part of the edge of 842 by the SE corner of the room. Since part of the edge of the cut was already removed with the excavation of the deposits on the north side of the room, it was decided, before continuing work in the N area, to clear this small deposit. The main reason for this is to clear the junction of structures 720, 156 and 729. By the corner some spherical angular cobbles can be seen, but nothing indicates an intentional deposition of them. The observation of the are once cleaned reveals how 720 seems to abut 729. The same case will be 156, although this and 720 are not in contact in the corner.
