Corinth Basket: Nezi Field, context 7068 | Collection: | | Corinth | | Type: | | Basket | | Name: | | Nezi Field, context 7068 | | Area: | | Nezi Field | | Context Type: | | Fill | | Title: | | Fill for a trench | | Category: | | Deposit | | Notebook: | | 1104 | | Context: | | 7068 | | Page: | | 0 | | Date: | | 2010/06/02 | | Stratum: | | 5% medium and fine pebbles, all angular spherical and tabular. One colored glass shard, and two iron nails. | | Description: | | The soil color is dark reddish brown. The soil compaction is hard. The soil is moderately sorted. It is sandy silt. | | Notes: | | This context is in the fill of a cut (7069).It is in the S/E corner of the ‘pithos’ room of Room F E-half. It abuts wall 5334 to the S, wall 5347 to the E, and is truncated by bothros 4 at the N. It also appeared before excavation to be related to another cut (7050) on the N side of the bothros. It will be interesting to consider the purpose of these two trenches, if they turn out to be one large one. On the other hand, there are less inclusions, and slightly less pottery in this fill. Perhaps if this is an agricultural processing area, there were several pits for different functions in different times, such as the one for the pithos. Four pieces of iron nails and a number of shards of glass wer also found | | Context Pottery: | | Fineware. pre Roman, unid. 178 bodysherds. ; Fineware. thymiaterion. 1 bodysherd. ; Fineware.
