| Title: | Well A | |
| Category: | Well | |
| Description: | Well shaft cut through a cistern channel which was then packed with three amphorae (P 3123, P 3125, P 4201) of 1st or at latest early 2nd c. A.D. (These three amphorae could be considered with F 15:2). Objects SS 2040, SS 2041, SS 2043, P 3143, P 3144, MC 73, I 1454 are included with F 15:2, cistern fill (pp. 81, 573). Upper fill to 5.50m produced little pottery and that of 5th c. coins to Honorius 395-423 A.C. At 5.50 a group of fallen wall tiles arched over shaft which was empty to below 8.00 (at water level). Lower fill 9.10-9.60m, 4th c. (dump?). No coins. The excavator believed the well had never been tiled and that lower fill was POU. It seems more likely that tiles were robbed in late 4th c., one 1st c. amphora of packing fell in and then a 4th c. dump was dropped in, capped by tile fragments; later a 5th c. dump on top. REVISE: The depths for the first part of the work 22-27/2/1934 are given from ground level (62.5m). Those as from the recommencement on 2/3 are clearly from the top of the well- ie at 3m below (see p. 58) Remark on p. 460 seems ambiguous. | |
