Agora Deposit: U 26:4

Title:		Latest Mycenaean Well C in OA
Category:		Well
Description:		Well 19: Latest Mycenaean. Near Klepsydra. Diameter mouth 1.25-1.35m., narrowing about a third of the way down and becoming rectangular, 0.90-1.0 to a side. Muddy at m; water collecting rapidly at 8.m. Three strata in filling; no pottery joins between them. Lowest 0.50, very few sherds; all identifiable are Fountain types or earlier. Above, two dumped strata of domestic debris, storage pithoi, architectural fragments, quantities of stones from walls (in upper), grindstones; commonest and latest pottery post-fountain. Opened probably while the fountain was still in use, serving the region within the Pelargikon, as the fountain served the Acropolis. Perhaps used for some time, but kept clean. Closed deliberately as a part of a general clean-up of squatters' dwellings or warehouses, probably following a shift in population from the congested citadel area to the open and now secure areas below it. Contemporary Agora wells O 8:5; H 12:10.
