Corinth Basket: South Stoa, context 353 Collection: | | Corinth | Type: | | Basket | Name: | | South Stoa, context 353 | Area: | | South Stoa | Title: | | Initial Cleaning of Trench | Category: | | Deposit | Notebook: | | 1110 | Context: | | 353 | Date: | | 2016/04/13 | Stratum: | | rocks | Description: | | Top slope of the context is steep down to the E. The soil color is light greyish brown. The soil compaction is very soft. The soil is well sorted. It is sandy silt. | Notes: | | Cleaning the parched top layer of soil 353 was the first action we took in the trench. Initially we did not assign a context number to this layer on Guy's advice-- he didn't expect us to find anything. The pottery reading proved him incorrect, however-- among other interesting finds were a terracotta nose and a Middle Neolithic sherd. We therefore decided to assign this layer a context number. Our description of the soil is from memory and so it may be not be entirely accurate, though we remember clearly that the soil was very parched from exposure. | Context Pottery: | | Fineware.
