Stratum: | Fill of well east of Gr. 2002-11, reddish brown sandy clay with 1% rounded to subrounded pebbles and 10% subrounded angular cobbles. | |
Notes: | Basket 91 is the continuation of the fill of Well 2002-2. The soil is reddish brown sandy clay with 1% rounded and subrounded angular pebbles and 10% subrounded, angular cobbles. This soil is generally the same as that of the basket lying above it (B88). We are dry sieving 90% of the soil and wet sieving 10%. 2 1/2 zembils of rooftiles were kept with the pottery. This basket was changed arbitrarily after approx. 50 cm were excavated. Before changing baskets, a large piece of floor (approx. 17 cm wide and 10.5 cm deep) consisting of a foundation of rounded cobbles set in cement with a floor surface of small rounded pebbles set in a finer cement. A terracotta loomweight and a possible chert core were also found. During the excavation of this basket, some questions arose among the excavators and the supervisors concerning whether this is a well or a bothros. We decided to continue excavations in order to clarify this issue, but we are still calling this feature a well in the meantime. | |
