Corinth Basket: Temple E, Southeast, context 842
Collection:   Corinth
Type:   Basket
Name:   Temple E, Southeast, context 842
Area:   Temple E, Southeast
Title:   Pit W side room 8
Notebook:   1109
Context:   842
Date:   2015/06/13
Description:   The context shape in plan is oval. The top break of the cut is sharp. The sides of the cut are stepped. The break at the base of the cut is gradual. The base of the cut is tapered blunt point. Truncation: Yes. Structures 157, 156 and 720.
Notes:   8:17: Recording of the cut filled by 825 and 839. As described on the notes of the later context, the cut has two levels, with a general one covering the south portion of the room and a smaller one on its W and NW side. The study of profiles indicates that rather than one cut truncated by another one we are dealing with an extensive cut that was made deeper at an specific spot.
P.S.:Or not. Careful consideration of the sequence makes me revert to the original theory of two different pits. It is true that the fact that both pits share the same N profile remains now unexplained, but it is also unclear how this (or these) cut(s) interact with the sequence of the walls. Ther reading of material will be used to address this problem and put some order on the sequence.
