Corinth Basket: Nezi Field, context 6615 | Collection: | | Corinth | | Type: | | Basket | | Name: | | Nezi Field, context 6615 | | Area: | | Nezi Field | | Context Type: | | Fill | | Title: | | Leveling Fill south of 10095 | | Category: | | Deposit | | Notebook: | | 1103 | | Context: | | 6615 | | Page: | | 0 | | Date: | | 2009/06/09 | | Lot: | | Lot 2009-085 | | Stratum: | | 25% tile fragments, angular/tabular cobbles, very small angular pebbles, pottery sherds, bones | | Description: | | Top slope of the context is moderate down to the W. The soil color is dark reddish brown. The soil compaction is firm. The soil is poorly sorted. It is sandy silt. | | Notes: | | This context is located at the souther end of Wall 10095 and encompasses the area around posthole 6216. It was exposed as a context during the excavation of 6605 and 6610, having a harder and redder aspect than 6610 (which was darker and softer). We dug the context for 36 cm down to a level even with the closing of 6610. The eastern portion of the context was harder and red but as we moved east, the soil became greyer and much less red. Thanasis also excavated the small jut of soil on the west side of 10095 - the change in color may be due to the fact that the western side was scarp and had been affected by long exposure to the sun/weather during excavation, or we slightly overdug the context. | | Context Pottery: | | Cooking ware. inwardly sloping rim stewpot (950-150)1 rim.
