"The West Chamber of a double cistern lying between the northeast corner of the Theseion and the Annex to the Stoa of Zeus Eleftherios. ... Both chambers went out of use as water containers simultaneously and served for a short time as refuse dumps ... this occurred in Hellenistic times ... The mouth of the western chamber must have been closed for many centuries: above the cone of Hellenistic rubbish the filling was solid Byzantine. [Hesperia 3 (1934), p. 345]. Hell.

The following objects are published together with those from G 6:2 but were found in the west chamber of the cistern system: A 230, P 366, P 367, P 403-P 407, P 2387-P 2393, L 459, L 461, L 462, L 464, L 1114, L 1115, T 133, T 134.

"Cistern at 9/Β (10/Β on plan), at the NW foot of the Areopagus, some 200m to the west of the Coroplast's Dump. It had evidently belonged to one of the small houses in that thickly populated residential area.  That sculptors lived near by is attested by the presence in the filling of two unfinished works roughly blocked out of re-used marble. The chamber , lined with the usual waterproof cement, was roughly rectangular at the bottom, measuring north side 1.25m, east side 1.80m., south side 2.06m., west side 1.70m., and reaching a maximum depth of 3.80m.; Fourth century deposit overlaid by late Roman upper fill (cf. T 85, L 379, container 80, not recorded with this deposit and no subdivision given).","","","","Agora:Deposit:F 16:1","","","Agora","Deposit","","Second half 4th c.

"Tiled well near the SW corner of the market square between the Southwest Fountain House and the Great Drain, three fills noted: lower fill of earth and stones with a few fragments only of coarse pottery (none inventoried, containers 66-71); middle filling a heavy deposit primarily of table ware, apparently a gradual accumulation; upper supplementary fill. Although carefully constructed this shaft seems never to have served as a well but only as a rubbish dump for neighboring establishments. ; ; Finds from the Dump (no subdivision): MC 621, T 2177, IL 824; Depth uncertain (no subdivision): A 115; ; Upper fill: Two Knidian amphora handles. Most of bowls long-petal.; Middle fill: No coins or datable stamped amphora handles. Lamps indicate broad range of date. Long-petal bowls found at all depths, suggesting fill was dumped rather that accumulated over a period of time. Most of bowls long-petal.","","","","Agora:Deposit:G 14:2","","","Agora","Deposit","","4th-2nd c. B.C.; 100-70 B.C.","G 14:2","Well","8-25 April 1932"

"An extensive cistern system on the lower north slope of the Areopagus, south chamber with blind tunnel extending further south (south tunnel); north chamber; drawshaft further north, extends to north tunnel. With exception of north tunnel (which contains nothing later than 300), all parts seem to have been filled at the same time. ; The entire interior was covered with a single coat of waterproof plaster. The system went out of use, no doubt because of the repeated caving in of the soft bedrock in which it was cut. Thus the blind tunnel leading off from the draw-shaft was first shortened 0.50m by a wall of field stones set in clay and carefully plastered on the face toward the shaft. Later, the entire tunnel was blocked off by a similar wall set in the side of shaft. About the same time,the southern chamber was dispensed with and the mouth of the passage leading to the north chamber was carefully walled, the one plastered face of the wall looking toward the northern chamber. Some rubbish would seem to have been thrown into the abandoned southern chamber, but later, perhaps because it was proposed to use this chamber for dry storage, the rubbish was shoveled into the blind tunnel and the mouth of that tunnel closed with a carelessly built wall of loose field stones. Some years later, the chamber was finally abandoned and filled in with earth. In the meantime , the passageway connecting the two chambers was sacrificed and its remaining mouth closed by a wall looking into the northern chamber.; ; The network of underground reservoirs intended to supply the private houses of classical times which must have stood there to the south of the public market-square. The cisterns and chains of cisterns must have been filled up at various times between the end of the 4th B.C. and the 1st c. A.D.; ; Cistern System, 45/Β and 45/ΙΑ (Hell.
