Category: | Well | |
Description: | Geometric Well on the west side, in the line of the Roman Panathenaic way; 3.70m below paving block of street that overhangs well. It was neatly cut, 1.05m. in diameter, but it was dug only to a depth of 3.10m, with a rough bottom, and may never have been finished. It was closed at the end of the 8th century, probably because of the drought that occurred in Athens at that time. | |
Contents: | 86 objects, 9 bones, 398 sherds. Large assortment of household pottery, with an admixture of early sherds, a few fragments of Corinthian ware, and household items such as loom weights, spindle whorls, iron objects, stone grinders. | |
