Title:   Geometric Well in Panathenaic Way.
Category:   Well
Description:   Geometric Well on the west side, in the line of the Roman Panathenaic way; 3.70m below paving block of street that overhangs well. It was neatly cut, 1.05m. in diameter, but it was dug only to a depth of 3.10m, with a rough bottom, and may never have been finished. It was closed at the end of the 8th century, probably because of the drought that occurred in Athens at that time.
Contents:   86 objects, 9 bones, 398 sherds.
Large assortment of household pottery, with an admixture of early sherds, a few fragments of Corinthian ware, and household items such as loom weights, spindle whorls, iron objects, stone grinders.
