Corinth Basket: South Stoa, context 58 | Collection: | | Corinth | | Type: | | Basket | | Name: | | South Stoa, context 58 | | Area: | | South Stoa | | Context Type: | | deposit | | Title: | | well fill, 12th deposit from top | | Category: | | Deposit | | Notebook: | | 1109 | | Context: | | 58 | | Date: | | 2015/05/19 | | Lot: | | Lot 2015-087 | | Stratum: | | 5% large chunks of yellow compated clay, some carbon, 5% irregular med-large pebble sized limestone | | Description: | | Top slope of the context is even. The soil color is light yellowish brown. The soil compaction is soft. The soil is poorly sorted. It is sandy clay. | | Notes: | | This context has slightly more yellow clay chunks than the one above - 57, but the sooil is very similar. There are no or few reddish pieces as in 57. Therefore the inclusions differ slightly from context 57 to 58 but they may be the same, especially given the appearance of yellow clay chunks near the end of context 57. There is still carbon in large pieces but there are fewer of them. We found a coin from the center of the well at 78.18; we found a second coin at 78.13 and another came from the sieve. We change the context arbitrarily at ca. 3.43 below the well head; there is no distinctive change in soil.
