Nbp. 1787: This cistern contained a hopeless mixture of sherds, from hellenistic to late roman....One can say in a general way that the hellenistic fill lay over the bottom of this cistern and the roman above it, but every basket of Hellenistic contained also Roman sherds. Nbp. 2441: ...the cistern was very mixed - Hellenistic, Late Roman, and coarse Byzantine. The bottom was covered with a pure hell. fill which in one place could be dug separately... Cf. E 14:1 and E 14:3. Eighteen stamped amphora handles.
