Collection:		Corinth
Type:		Basket
Name:		Nezi Field, context 611
Area:		Nezi Field
Context Type:		Fill
Title:		Fill of well, 2nd deposit from top
Category:		Deposit
Notebook:		1103
Context:		611
Page:		0
Date:		2009/06/05
Stratum:		30% roof tile fragments, few fine pebbles and boulders
Description:		Top slope of the context is level. The soil color is very dark yellowish brown. It is sandy silt.
Notes:		The deposit context 611 is the second lens form the top of fill within the well 610. The well is the room bounded to the north by a robbed out wall (596) to the East by wall 306 and to the south by wall 376. The west limit is not known as the EW walls and associated deposit continue westward into the scarp at 255.5 E. It appears that the depsoit 611 is dedeposited based on the material during excavation; a large cut block (0.4x 0.45x 0.2m), rooftile, pottery and cobbles. The deposit has not been fully excavated, rather it was arbitrarily stopped. The sectioning of the deposit allows us to prioritize the excavation of other deposits with the end the season approaching. The chronologically mixed pottery and large inclusions from the fill 611 indicate that the well was intentionally backfilled.
