Category: | Well | |
Description: | Well dug through cistern at 64/Γ. Seems to have been stratified; four fills recorded but here treated as one as divisions are rather "arbitrary". Agora V, p. 126: Constructed in late 1st c.; use filling of 3rd c (before 267); use(?) filling of 4th c; dumped filling of 6th or 7th c. The floor of the cistern is at -2.90m. When the well was built, the lower part of the cistern chamber behind the well tiles was filled with large wine amphoras, of which 18 whole ones were found. A human skeleton identified as female by Angel, was found at a depth of -13.50m, at the point where the pottery changes from the late third or fourth century to the early third. The skeleton may have been thrown in when the Heruli sacked the city. | |
