Corinth Basket: Nezi Field, context 6433 | Collection: | | Corinth | | Type: | | Basket | | Name: | | Nezi Field, context 6433 | | Area: | | Nezi Field | | Context Type: | | Fill | | Title: | | fill for cut pit | | Category: | | Deposit | | Notebook: | | 1103 | | Context: | | 6433 | | Page: | | 0 | | Date: | | 2009/05/15 | | Stratum: | | 5% potter, small pebbles, charcoal; soil not as ashy as 6428 | | Description: | | The soil color is dark reddish brown. The soil compaction is loose. The soil is well sorted. It is silt. | | Notes: | | This context was distinguished from the lighter colored surface exposed by excavation of ash fill 6428 because it appeared more red and appeared to fill a semi-circular cut The line of the cut was found to run up to wall 5519, but the extent was small. Perhaps fill 6433 filled cut 6437 as a floor patch for a damaging event that remains unknown.
POST-EXCAVATION NOTE, 15-06-09, S.L.: Contexts 6663 and 6649, at least one of which underlies this context, were found to contain two joining coarse incised ware body fragments of the Frankish period, dating to the mid-13th century. These sherds will stratigraphically change the dates of every context that lies above them by as much as two centuries, of which this context is one. Until it is decided whether there is some other reason that this discrepancy might have occurred (e.g., these contexts need to be situated in a different place on the Harris Matrix), the dates will remain as they have been assigned on the basis of pottery/stratigraphy prior to discovering this discrepancy. | | Context Pottery: | | Fineware. unguentarium. 1 complete profile.
