Corinth Basket: Nezi Field, context 5692 | Collection: | | Corinth | | Type: | | Basket | | Name: | | Nezi Field, context 5692 | | Area: | | Nezi Field | | Context Type: | | Fill | | Title: | | Lens of fill on floor north of stairs, 2nd deposit | | Category: | | Deposit | | Notebook: | | 1101 | | Context: | | 5692 | | Page: | | 0 | | Date: | | 2008/05/29 | | Stratum: | | 30%: fine-large pebbles (sub-angular, sub-rounded, platy), pottery, bone | | Description: | | Top slope of the context is level. The soil color is light pinkish brown. The soil compaction is weakly cemented. The soil is poorly sorted. It is sandy silt. | | Notes: | | Deposit 5692 is yet another layer of fill on top of the floor. Its inclusions are similar to 5690 but it is more compact. The removal of 5692 has revealed in part the floor underneath at the east end of the courtyard. The ashy patch that was revealed by the removal of floor 5685 continues in 5692. The floor that has been revealed is more pebbly. After the removal of deposit 5692, the pebble floor which it covered has been completely revealed. It extends across most of the courtyard south of the drain and the cut for excavation of well #2. The concentration of pebbles varies across the surface in patches. With the view that these patches of peebles represent either repair patches for the courtyard surface or the preserved patches of a formerly continuous pebble surface that has been abraded in various places across the courtyard, the pebble patches will excavated individually. | | Context Pottery: | | Fineware. premedieval2 bodysherds. ; Coarseware. amphora. 5 bodysherds. ; Cooking ware. ww, kettle. 5 bodysherds. | | Pottery Summary: | | 2 frag(s) 0.01 kg.
