Agora Deposit: G 14:5
Title:   Cistern: Southern chamber
Category:   Cistern
Description:   Connected with G 14:3.
There was a layer of Late Roman fill. It rested over a layer of 2nd c. B.C Hellenistic and then another of 4th c. B.C Hellenistic; the passage between the two cisterns contained Hellenistic material. Therefore, it appears that this cistern had several periods of use: Hellenistic (at least one phase contemporary with the 2nd century B.C, phase of House E to the north), Late Roman (probably associated with the amphora and perhaps also maybe the platform and the drain), and finally Byzantine.
Only stamped amphora handle dates ca. 125. Half of bowls long-petal.
