"M 21:1","","Deposit","","Last quarter of 3rd c. B.C.-Early 2nd century B.C.","","Agora:Deposit:M 21:1","20 May-24 June 1947","Komos Cistern","Komos Cistern at 66/Κ, on the north slope of the Areopagus. Homogeneous fill.; ; Thirty-four stamped amphora handles. Eight Histiaian tetrobols, dating 170-160 at the earliest, found near top, possibly an intrusive hoard. Largest group of moldmade relief ware, consisting of fragments of 183 bowls, one moldmade jug and nine molds. At least 119 bowls are products of Workshop of Bion; only 15 made by Workshop A. Great similarity among bowls, many with same stamps. Most were made in fresh molds. Four molds made by Workshop of Bion, one perhaps a practice piece made by unskilled apprentice.; These facts suggest M 21:1 represents debris from Workshop of Bion, located near by. Cistern N 21:4 , 20 meters to northeast, contained similar evidence of workshop activity.","","","Agora:Image:1997.20.0433::/Agora/1997/1997.20/1997.20.0433.tif::608::968","Agora"
"F 16:1","","Deposit","","Second half 4th c. B.C.","","Agora:Deposit:F 16:1","20 February-8 March 1932","Demeter Cistern","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"

"H 16:3","","Deposit","","Ca. 320-240 B.C.","","Agora:Deposit:H 16:3","13-30 May 1932","Cistern System","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. Group B) (ΣΤ = 45/Β, 45/Ζ, 46/Ζ, cf. Also 42/Δ)","","","Agora:Image:2004.01.1652::/Agora/2004/2004.01/2004.01.1652.tif::1180::1786","Agora"
"C 9:13","","Deposit","","Late Protogeometric","","Agora:Deposit:C 9:13","3, 6 February 1936; 12 June 1936","Urn cremation","Grave 6 in notebook (E.L. Smithson: Grave XXII: PG). Bones discarded. Urn cremation (trench-and-hole).; JP; ; Roughly rectangular trench cut through hard earth into bedrock to a depth of about 0.35m, approximately 1m long and 0.50m wide. Trench oriented southeast-northwest, with the urn-hole adjoining the southeast corner. The ground around the mouth of the trench, its rims and walls, were reddened and baked hard by burning in situ. The urn-hole (diameter ca. 0.34m and about 0.35m deep- was evidently cut after the fire had subsided, not quite deep enough to conceal the full height of the cinerary urn below the floor of the trench. A fire-hardened mudbrick, 0.23m square and 0.08-0.09m thick, formed a barrier between the urn and the trench.; The rectangular trench yielded pyre refuse that was recovered in two distinct layers. The uppermost layer , to a depth of 0.20m, was characterized by loose  blackened earth mixed with  ash and charcoal. The lower stratum, 0.15m deep, comprised hard burned earth with pieces of cremated bone and carbonized matter.","","Rodney S.
