Corinth Basket: Temple E, Southeast, context 328
Collection:   Corinth
Type:   Basket
Name:   Temple E, Southeast, context 328
Area:   Temple E, Southeast
Title:   Fire pit in Corridor
Category:   Deposit
Notebook:   1108
Context:   328
Date:   2014/05/19
Stratum:   10% inclusions, fine rounded pebbles, some ceramic and bone
Description:   Top slope of the context is moderate. The soil color is dark brownish black. The soil compaction is soft. The soil is poorly sorted. It is sandy silt.
Notes:   Deposit 328 was clearly the organic material associated with a burning. The deposit came up very easily in a circular shape. The soil appeared very black and had very few inclusions.
It is interesting that the corridor already has two pits (associated with fire coming up (325)). This is certainly calling into question the true nature of this space. Could this have been an outdoor space, given the number of hearths/fire pits within it?
No pottery read, sherds may be in the fill collected for water sieving.
