Title: | Early Drain Channel Pit | |
Category: | Pit | |
Description: | Ostrakon deposit, sand fill in a shallow channel in bedrock at the bottom of the Great Drain in the valley between the Areopagus and the Hill of Nymphs. This group of ostraka may well come from a single ostrakophoria, but there is always the possibility that the water of the drain may have carried down earlier or later pieces. | |
Contents: | 172 ostraka and a small amount of contemporary pottery, with a few later intrusions. | |
