Description:   Well in Coletti Garden.
Diameter 1m. There were no traces of hand holes in its walls. At 5.2m depth below datum on the S-E side of the shaft, a small underground stream emptied into the well. The stratigraphy of the well was uniform from 2.95m to 8.30m, gray mud with considerable quantities of small rocks irregularly dispersed through it. From 8.3m to 9m the color changed somewhat toward brown; there was very little pottery. At 9m the color became chocolate brown and large masses of pottery with some intact vases appeared. Obviously the use level began at 9m and the excavation was carried only about 0.2m into the use level.
