"Deposit","Pyre 2 in Central House, Room X, under strosis 9. Signs of burning,  carbonized food, animal bone.; ; In room south of courtyard. concentration of artifacts, bone, and charred material in floor makeup, no pit discerned; pots not clearly clustered. The objects were found in digging a hard floor with a white clay surface (strosis 9, lot Φ 217), the earliest floor associated with phase 3 of the house and probably dating in the second quarter of the 4th c. The pyre is substantially later, however, and must have been dug down into strosis 9, although no pit was detected by the excavator. The alternative is to downdate the floor, which is difficult to reconcile with the other stratigraphy in the house. the date of the pyre indicates that it could be associated with the abandonment of the house, which took place in the first half of the 3rd c. B.C.; ; Cf. Hesperia 20 (1951), p. 122 ff.","Agora:Image:2007.04.0035::/Agora/2007/2007.04/2007.04.0035.tif::3040::2008","Agora","8-13 May 1958","Agora:Deposit:L 17:5","","","","","L 17:5","290-275 B.C.","Pyre 2",""

"Deposit","Rectangular pit at 54/ΛΓ.; The pit's plan is irregular; its measurements approximately 2.00x1.10x1.15m. The wall foundations run a little over a meter deep at 53/ΛΓ-ΛΕ, consist of irregularly shaped and sized stones packed together roughly in courses with clay, and in the southwest corner of the pit follow the bedrock. Some stones have been cut so as to have regular faces; some have not. On top of these rest two good sized poros blocks which once supported the first blocks of the house wall. The south wall of the pit is built of slightly smaller stones and clay (no poros blocks), and bonds with the west wall. The east wall is one large (2.00x1.14x0.22m) poros slab. Its west or inner face has been roughly finished. the east or outer face has had a margin cut into it on two sides. The shape of the slab and the work done on it are irregular, and one may suppose that the slab was badly begun, found not to suit its original purpose, and so used here. The north wall, of which only a few stones were left, would have been like the south wall.; The pit was filled with a homogeneous, wet, clay-like earth. At the bottom of the pit lay an archaic kore fragment. The pit was not used again after the earth had been dumped into it, but  the walls of  the building were used intermittently, if not continuously, to provide shelter for more than half a millenium afterwards.","","Agora","15 April 1957","Agora:Deposit:M 17:7","","","","","M 17:7","Ca. 450-425 B.C.","Pit",""
"Deposit","Contents of Pithos Y; probably belonging to sacrificial pyre III.; ; In northern corner of courtyard. Characteristic pyre pottery in fill of one of two pithoi set into the floor of the courtyard as part of 4th c. reconstruction (phase 3). Pottery is very fragmentary and probably not all from the pyre. Perhaps the pyre material was unearthed in the course of later activities and thrown into the pithos, which had gone out of use.; The date of the pyre puts it near the beginning of phase 3 of the house, so it could have originally been buried in connection with renovations that inaugurated that phase. there is no record of burning.","Agora:Image:2007.04.0036::/Agora/2007/2007.04/2007.04.0036.tif::3040::2008","Agora","4 May 1957","Agora:Deposit:M 17:8","","","","","M 17:8","400-350 B.C.","Pyre in Pithos Y.",""
