Category:   Well
Description:   Well in Room 5 of Roman House H.
Under cement border of andron of Greek House G. Diameter 1.10m, cut through bedrock. water at ca. 3.55m. Hand or foot holes along one side.
0-7.25m crushed bedrock fill.
-7.25m to -8.50m mud.
Notes:   Upper fill seems to date largely to the second quarter of the 5th c. B.C., indicating that the well was probably filled not long after the Persian sack. There is no intrusive period of use of fill, though P 28780 and P 28781 from near bottom suggest a date of ca. 500 B.C. for the lower fill. It is possible that the well was never used.
