"Well in Industrial Area of Areopagus","","","","Agora:Deposit:A 17:2","Second quarter 6th. c.","","Deposit","","12-25 July 1947","Agora","A well in the industrial area of the Areopagus, about 7.00m. west of the West Bath, to a depth of 14.60m. This well was the direct successor to A 17:1, replacing it when it collapsed. The use filling at the very bottom contained the black figured amphora P 18348 (Hesp. 17 (1948), p. 184, pl. 65, 1) and a well head (P 18853, Hesp. 18 (1949), p. 125, no. 8). Above this the shaft was filled with pure dug bedrock almost to the top. The earth filling of the top 1.90m., where the walls of the well had broken out to form a pit, contained very scanty pottery, of the same date as that of the use filling. Use filling, second quarter of sixth c. B.C., the last half. Dumped filling of same date.","Agora:Image:2008.18.0283::/Agora/2008/2008.18/2008.18.0283.tif::2829::2886","A 17:2"
"Well on Lower Slope of Hill of the Nymphs","","","","Agora:Deposit:A 17:1","Second quarter of 6th. c. B.C.","","Deposit","","25 June-8 July 1947","Agora","A well on the lower slope of the Hill of the Nymphs, (diam. 1.20m -water level -7m), to 7.90m. The scanty use filling at the bottom contained water jars and pitchers as well as the inventoried objects; above it was about 5.00m. of collapsed bedrock with no pottery whatsoever. The dumped filling, mixed with the broken bedrock above a depth of 2.40m., appears to be of the same date as the use filling, and yielded most of the inventoried objects - black figured and black glazed, as well as coarse ware, lamps, figurines, and loom weights; to be especially noted are a child's commode (P 18010, Hesp. 17 (1948), pp. 154-155), and an inscribed well head (P 18276, Hesp. 18 (1949), p. 125, no. 7).

The pyre is cut by the trench of a wall of a Roman house to north. It was found in digging ""Hellenistic"" fill; no further information about the stratigraphy or about the pottery from that fill is available. although the pyre was apparently not burnt in situ, the objects lay in a compact mass, not much disturbed, and they are mostly complete.","Agora:Image:2013.09.0014::/Agora/2013/2013.09/2013.09.0014.tif::4215::1784","C 17:2"

Debris in the cellar of a modern house, probably once that of F.S. Fauvel.; The collection included vases of all periods, from Geometric to Turkish; a number of the pieces are non-Attic and many of them apparently derive from graves. The deposit is thus without chronological significance and without any ancient association with the Agora area.; Compare the similar dumps, K 14:1 and O 17:2.","","N 10:1"
"Pyre in Room 1","","","","Agora:Deposit:B 17:4","350-330 B.C.","","Deposit","","13 April 1949","Agora","Pyre in Room 1, area west of street (RSY=Pyre 11).; Early in the third quarter of the 4th. c. B.C.; In courtyard. Artifacts, bone, and cinders in irregular pit in floor sequence. The pit had been dug into a marble-and limestone-chip layer over bedrock, and was covered by a Late Hellenistic layer with tile fragments. It may be associated with the abandonment of the house, since the marble-and limestone-chip layer was laid down during the structure's last phase. The pyre was burnt in situ (earth surface reddened).","Agora:Image:2013.09.0004::/Agora/2013/2013.09/2013.09.0004.tif::4107::1906","B 17:4"
"Pyre in Room 2","","","","Agora:Deposit:B 17:5","315-300 B.C.","","Deposit","","20 April 1949","Agora","Pyre in Room 2, area west of street (RSY=Pyre 12).; In courtyard. Artifacts, bone, ash, carbon, and cinders in pit in floor sequence. The rectangular pit was cut into a white strosis with marble chips (ΠΠ 282), filled with red earth, and the surface then trodden hard. The pyre is thus subsequent to the creation of the marbleworking surface, but the hard-trodden surface indicates continuing use of the area. It was disturbed by a robbing trench, not by an original foundation trench of the shed. The amount of ash, carbon, and cinders was small but lay at the bottom of the pit, suggesting  that the pyre was burnt in situ.","Agora:Image:2013.09.0005::/Agora/2013/2013.09/2013.09.0005.tif::3929::1800","B 17:5"
