Corinth Basket Temple E, Southeast, context 95

Collection:		Corinth
Type:		Basket
Name:		Temple E, Southeast, context 95
Area:		Temple E, Southeast
Context Type:		Deposit
Title:		Fill of grave at S, E of Wall 58 (Grave 2014-02)
Category:		Deposit
Notebook:		1108
Context:		95
Date:		2014/04/15
Stratum:		Inclusions: ceramic (5%), bone (5%), coarse pebbles to cobble (2% subrounded)
Description:		Top slope of the context is level. The soil color is dark yellowish brown. The soil compaction is soft. The soil is poorly sorted. It is sandy silt.
Notes:		Context 95 was an area of softer fill in Unit II Room 6 cut into a surface found under Context 90 in pedestaled soil W of NB 864 Pit 10 and overlying the grave represented by Context 71 (deposit) and Context 72 (skeleton), Grave 2014-02. Because we did not find a boundary between the fill of Context 95 and Context 71 (the fill of Grave 2014-02), immediately beneath it, we concluded that Context 95 also represents the fill of Grave 2014-02, and so is the same as Context 71. The fill of the grave at this level has been cut away to the W by later graves, Grave 1995-2 and 1996-5 (NB 864). We excavated Context 95 for about 10cm until we reached a level immediately overlying the exposed parts of the skeleton (Context 72), and then closed the context. We continued excavation below with Context 71. Context 95 gives the date to Context 71, which had no precisely datable pottery.
