Corinth Basket: Nezi Field, context 6131 | Collection: | | Corinth | | Type: | | Basket | | Name: | | Nezi Field, context 6131 | | Area: | | Nezi Field | | Context Type: | | Fill | | Title: | | Leveling Fill | | Category: | | Deposit | | Notebook: | | 1103 | | Context: | | 6131 | | Page: | | 0 | | Date: | | 2009/04/16 | | Lot: | | Lot 2009-045 | | Stratum: | | 90% (tile, bone, spherical cobbles and boulders, tabular cobbles, sub-rounded fine-coarse pebbles) | | Description: | | The soil color is dark brownish grey. The soil compaction is loose. The soil is poorly sorted. It is sandy silt. | | Notes: | | We are excavating the baulks left as martyrs to the N and S of foundation 5552 by he 1960s excavation. We are attempting to establish the chronology of the walls in the area. We have established a stratigraphic connection between the two baulks and because T. Webb wants to sample the entire area we have merged the N and S baulk temporarily into a single context so that we can increase the sample size, even though they are cut by later action. The N baulk is now gone and the soil to the N of foundation 5552 represents a single level as left by the 1960s excavation. Removal of floor 6131 revealed another layer of soil (6131) resembling a leveling fill and showing a high degree of burning. | | Context Pottery: | | Fineware. ww polychrome (1050-1120), cup. 1 rim.
