"","Well cut into bedrock under late Roman building in ΕΛ. 1.2m in diameter with small cutting of unclear function at south edge about 0.2m wide. Walls cut straight down, tapering near bottom to 0.8m. Footholds about 30cm apart down the north and south sides. Does not seem to have tapped into a water source, no distinct period of use. There were 14 layers of fill from two periods-the Roman resurfacing of the area using Hellenistic fill (possibly associated with Deposit T-U 21:1, but not kept as such since floors were damaged in area directly above) and dumped fill from the late 6th/early 5th c. B.C. Much earlier material (Neolithic, etc) mixed throughout.; Layers:; Hellenistic fill under Roman floors; I.(86.34-85.93m) rubble; II.(85.93-85.58m) dark brown rubble; III.(85.57-85.30m) more stony rubble; IV.(85.30-84.80m) very rocky, almost sterile, increase of clay and sand; V.(84.80-84.03m) less rocks, almost sterile, increase of clay and sand; Late 6th/early 5th B.C dumped fills; VI.(84.03-82.64m) mix of clay and sand deposits, dog skulls; VII.(82.64-81.79m) mostly sand; VIII.(81.79-81.39m) light brownish-grey clay, almost sterile; IX.(80.39-80.99m) mix of grey clay, brown clay and sand, much ceramic; X.(80.99-80.24m) sandy, more ceramic; XI.(80.19-77.74m) sandy, enormous stones (some 100kg+). A ""contamination layer"" was excavated after layer X because heavy rains refilled the well.; XII.(77.74-75.71m) clay with sand, even more ceramic, ,burned rocks and sherds; pigment and wood; XIII.(75.71-74.84m) crushed bedrock and marl, wood (bucket), large shells, little ceramic, pigment.

"James H. Oliver","(E.L. Smithson: Grave IX: PG). Two children's skeletons one on top of the other. Cf. PD 329 for PD 430 for second skeleton, same deposit.; PG grave about 25m. SW of Cistern A at 46/ΜΔ. ; [In some records, erroneously as ΠΘ Grave 5 (an empty pit cleared in 1936), cf. nb. p. 321.] ; JP; ; Rectangular put cut through yellow earth into bedrock to a depth of 0.30m below the level of the uncut surrounding bedrock. Oriented southeast-northwest, the tomb measured 1.40m long and 0.65m wide at the top, narrowing with depth. The bedrock forming the edges of the tomb pit was stepped in to provide an irregular ledge, running round all four sizes. maximum width of the pit  at the bottom was about 0.30m. a partial lining of fieldstones was bedded on the ledges; the uppermost stones were interrupted at the southeast corner by an irregular recessed pocket containing two lekythoi.; Skeletons fully extended, heads to the southeast. Lower skeleton  was described as a ""six-year-old girl"" with arms bent over the body. The upper skeleton with arms extended at the sides was considered as perhaps also a girl, about 7 years old. In the process of restudying the human remains, the lower skeleton could not be located, and it may not have been saved.; All of the grave goods were found either around or above the upper skeleton. A quantity of water-worn pebbles, were also recovered from around the upper skeleton. Also, ""black carbonized matter"" and "" small thin animal bones"" were noted. The latter were thought to be from a sacrificial animal or animals, but the bones were not analyzed,nor were they saved.; The two bodies were probably inhumed at the same time. this is supported by the fact that the skeletons, both well preserved, were neatly laid out on top of each other with no earth separating them.","Agora","","Agora:Image:1997.20.0439::/Agora/1997/1997.20/1997.20.0439.tif::655::960","Pit tomb, inhumation of two children","28-30 May 1935","Deposit","Developed Protogeometric","Agora:Deposit:C 11:4","","","","C 11:4"
