When the well was built, the lower part of the cistern chamber behind the well tiles was filled with large wine amphoras, of which 18 whole ones were found.; A human skeleton identified as female by Angel, was found at a depth of -13.50m, at the point where the pottery changes from the late third or fourth century to the early third. The skeleton may have been thrown in when the Heruli sacked the city.","","16 March 1938; 21 March-4 April 1938"

Oriented southeast-northwest, the tomb measured 1.40m long and 0.65m wide at the top, narrowing with depth. The bedrock forming the edges of the tomb pit was stepped in to provide an irregular ledge, running round all four sizes. maximum width of the pit  at the bottom was about 0.30m. a partial lining of fieldstones was bedded on the ledges; the uppermost stones were interrupted at the southeast corner by an irregular recessed pocket containing two lekythoi.; Skeletons fully extended, heads to the southeast. Lower skeleton  was described as a ""six-year-old girl"" with arms bent over the body. The upper skeleton with arms extended at the sides was considered as perhaps also a girl, about 7 years old. In the process of restudying the human remains, the lower skeleton could not be located, and it may not have been saved.; All of the grave goods were found either around or above the upper skeleton. A quantity of water-worn pebbles, were also recovered from around the upper skeleton. Also, ""black carbonized matter"" and "" small thin animal bones"" were noted. The latter were thought to be from a sacrificial animal or animals, but the bones were not analyzed,nor were they saved.; The two bodies were probably inhumed at the same time. this is supported by the fact that the skeletons, both well preserved, were neatly laid out on top of each other with no earth separating them.","James H.

Despite the general paucity of the well fill (only 21 tins of pottery from -7.00m  to bottom), a rather large number of amphorae, micaceous water jars and other handled containers were represented among the sherds and some stratification  is apparent. The well might for some reason have been used only sparingly or it might have been equipped with a metal bucket which was used in preference to clay jars on most occasions.","","1 April-28 May 1936"
