Corinth Basket: South Stoa, context 59
Collection:   Corinth
Type:   Basket
Name:   South Stoa, context 59
Area:   South Stoa
Context Type:   deposit
Title:   well fill, 13th deposit from the top
Category:   Deposit
Notebook:   1109
Context:   59
Date:   2015/05/19
Lot:   Lot 2015-087
Stratum:   5-10% tile and irregular medium to large pebble sized limestone pieces, little carbon, 5% pottery, some small bits of slag.
Description:   Top slope of the context is even. The soil color is light brownish brown. The soil compaction is soft. The soil is poorly sorted. It is sandy clay.
Notes:   This context was begun arbitrarily after 58. It has similar soil to 58 including a few pieces of yellow clay like in the previous contexts above, but there are more rocks and tiles and more pottery than in the ones above. We may have a real change in soil or are at least starting to get one. The presence of slag is new and supports that hypothesis. We are changing contexts arbitrarily after ca. 26 cm.
59 joins with 61 and also with 58
