| Description: | The soil color is dark brownish red. The soil compaction is firm. The soil is very poorly sorted. It is clayey silt. | |
| Notes: | coins 122 (Greek), 126 (Frankish? Illegible), 125 (Villehardouin CORINTI), 123 (Byzantine, Latin Imitative), 121 (Byzantine, Manuel I), and 119 (French, 1223-1270) (sieve) coin 118: E. 129.95; N. 1082.82; H. 84.73: Sikyonian, 4th century BC coin 120 E. 130.33; N. 1082.18; H. 84.72: Byzantine, illegible 717 may be the first lense of a large irregular pit (726). The fill is certainly a large dump of material, possibly used for leveling, and which contained 7 coins (five from the sieve). Although a couple of coins were 4th cent. BC Sikyonian and a few were early 13th cent. Byzantine, coin #125, being a Frankish Villehardoin coin, securely dates the fill to the late 13th century . Removal of 717 revealed a deep hole near its easternmost point, which is primarily under the bordering context. The hole appears to be a well and currently goes at least 1.5 m. down before hitting the soil. 02/06/2015 (L Kennedy): Animal bones from this context combined with those from context 715: 6.7 kg, saved to Corinth Lot 2015-04.
