Corinth Basket: Nezi Field, context 5086 | Collection: | | Corinth | | Type: | | Basket | | Name: | | Nezi Field, context 5086 | | Area: | | Nezi Field | | Title: | | Cleaning and removal of tile layer. | | Category: | | Deposit | | Notebook: | | 1100 | | Context: | | 5086 | | Page: | | 0 | | Date: | | 2007/05/21 | | Stratum: | | The soil is loose, contains large percentage (40%) of roof tile fragments and small percentage (10%) of small angular pebbles. | | Description: | | Top slope of the context is level. Bottom slope of the context is level. The soil color is light reddish brown. The soil compaction is loose. The soil is moderately sorted. It is sandy silt. | | Notes: | | B5086 is also a cleaning basket. However, the E area of the room N of room F was chosen to be cleaned seperately from B5084 since it contained a layer of roof tile fragments. During the cleaning of B5086 the roof tile fragments were removed. Immediatelly underneath a destruction layer was uncovered. It consisted of numerous roof tile fragments mixed with medium sized cobbles and pottery shards. The medium sized cobbles could potentially be part of the collapse of the "potato" walls the the N and W. It is possible that the initial layer of roof tile fragments that was removed, belonged to the destruction layer underneath it. After scraping to the E, it was noted that the destruction layer continued underneath the bottom layer of B5084, and therefore B5086 was stopped at this point in order to excavate further to the E next. | | Context Pottery: | | Fineware.
