Title:   Well
Category:   Well
Description:   Dug bedrock filling in a well of unusually large diameter (1.35m.), possibly the original source of water for a factory for making terracotta figurines (water for the workshop with waterproofed floor and basin, and pottery basin set into the ground, at junction of Great Drain and Post Sullan drain).
Cf. Hesperia 20 (1951), p. 249.
Abandoned at 9.00m. because of threatened collapse of bedrock. Great caves and caverns below surface where soft stereo had fallen.Well fill not reached.
Contents:   Scattered pottery fragments of the 4th c. B.C.; topographical considerations however indicate that the well was probably not filled in before Roman times; the context is thus irrelevant for the Classical period.
