| Category: | Well | |
| Keyword: | Archaic-Classical | |
| Description: | A well in the courtyard (Room 8) of a Byzantine House of Period II. The well was covered by a large squared poros wellhead and a marble puteal (apparently neither inventoried). Within the well shaft, the stratified deposit produced two dumped filings of debris that resulted from two distinct destructions, and these were separated by a filling that had accumulated during the Byzantine period of use. A smaller amount of fill at the very bottom of the shaft gave evidence for an earlier period of use of latest Roman date (Hesp. 66 (1997), p. 528). | |
