Corinth Basket: NB983 B15 P38 Collection: | | Corinth | Type: | | Basket | Name: | | NB983 B15 P38 | Area: | | Panaghia north | Category: | | Basket/zembil | Notebook: | | 983 | Context: | | 15 | Page: | | 38 | Date: | | 2006/06/08 | Stratum: | | Fill with small cobbles | Notes: | | The matrix of this basket is reddish brown sandy silt, compact, with 15% pebble and cobble inclusions. B15 is the exploration of a cobbly layer on the W and N periphery of the pit (B's 4, 5, 6, 7, 8). After two passes, to the W of the pit we came across a clayey layer that looked like a floor. To the N of the pit what appears to be a block covered in white clay was uncovered. As digging around it proceeded it became clear that it is actually a mass of clay shaped in roughly like a rectangular block. It is decided to stop this basket here and remove in another basket what looks like a remainder of the fill of the pit (B's 4, 5, 6, 7, 8) that became visible when the clay floor was reached. | Context Pottery: | | Cooking ware. casserole rim 1; Fineware.
