Corinth Basket: Temple E, Southeast, context 801
Collection:   Corinth
Type:   Basket
Name:   Temple E, Southeast, context 801
Area:   Temple E, Southeast
Title:   fill in grave 2015-10
Category:   Deposit
Notebook:   1109
Context:   801
Date:   2015/05/22
Stratum:   inclusions: 10-15% pottery, bone, cobbles (angular, tabular).
Description:   Top slope of the context is slight down to the E. The soil color is light greyish brown. The soil compaction is loose. The soil is poorly sorted. It is silty sand.
Notes:   We had seen some ribs and a long bone sticking out of the southwestern corner of grave 1996-02, so we knew we had a burial of a small individual, but we also knew that this burial had been disturbed since there was no sign of a skull or covering tile anywhere (presumably robbed out when grave 1996-01 was dug). The density of burial in this southern half of room 6 is very high. This burial is heavily disturbed on every side and it is likely that material from its fill has ended up with context 794 which was dug to define the cut for grave 2015-09.
