We removed two layers of fill in the area around this amphora, the first of which (lot 1540) was highly contaminated and contained material dating from the Late Geometric through the Byzantine periods. The second layer of fill (lot 1541) excavated around the amphora dated to the early Roman period (c. 1st century A.D.), and after we removed this layer of fill we revealed the outlines of five more amphorae and one micaceous water jar. The vessels were carefully removed one by one. Along with the one whole amphora (BZ 1213), two mended amphorae (BZ 1262 & 1263) and the micaceous water jar (BZ 1264), there were also in-situ fragments of three other amphorae, but the necks, handles, and/or bases of these amphorae were missing and the vessels were therefore not mended (the fragments of these three amphorae can be found in the pottery tins).; ; NOTE: This deposit was first excavated 1-2 August 2001 as a ""Late Roman layer with complete vessels"" (elev. 53.040-53.370 masl, J/17,18-1/6,8).

Cut in bed-rock (no tiles reported); diameter at mouth: 1.04m.; depth 22.80m.;  The fill from bottom (22.80m.) to 22.25m. (container 9?) produced 2 type XXII lamps (L 2992-3) which R. Howland dated late 3rd to early 2nd cent. B.C. The latest coin was of Delos, after 166 B.C. (iv/23/37 #14). No sherds from this level were stored (p. 2735) but some were probably put in with basket 9, the final container from the well fill; cont. 9 could not be located when the pottery was sorted in 1951. (Container 8 - ca. 22.25m. - is predominantly hellenistic.);  From 22.25m. to 21.30m. (containers 7-5) all pottery seems to be of the 1st cent.

P 11878) and of another with heavy rim such as those that occasionally have Latin stamps; BHWJ's. The coins are all Athenian New Style 229-30 B.C., or earlier. Numerous frags. of iron, some of which had been used in conjunction with wood (iron-bound bucket?) occurred in cont. 7-5, extending over into cont. 4 (now in Box no. 361-B).;  The above fills, apparently of the 2nd cent.

The pyre trench measured about 1.25m long and was 0.52 m wide. The trench floor comprised what appeared to be scorched earth; it contained a few sherds, described by the excavator as being of ""small bowls"".; The urn-hole was located at the east end of the pyre trench; its diameter and depth were not recorded, but judging from the cover stones the pit probably measured just under 0.50m in diameter and was about 0.35m deep. In it, a neck-handled amphora , which served as cinerary urn, was placed in an upright position; it contained the cremated remains of an individual described as an adolescent aged 10-14 years at death. Analysis of the human remains showed that the cinerary urn contained a small child, no more than two years old.; ; See also P 34860-P 34866 catalogued as ""sherds overlying tombs ; F 16:3 & F 16:4"".","","15-16 March 1932","","Deposit","Agora","Dorothy Burr Thompson","Agora:Image:1997.20.0455::/Agora/1997/1997.20/1997.20.0455.tif::1022::735","","Transitional Late Protogeometric/Early Geometric I","Agora:Deposit:F 16:4"
"K 3:2","","Byzantine Layer with Complete Pots","Excavation in Room 3 of ΒΘ West revealed 5 ceramic vessels in a row against the eastern face of Wall 12. 3 complete vessels (ΒΘ 122, 124, and 125) were catalogued, along with the base of a plain glazed flat-bottomed basin (ΒΘ 121). In addition to the vessels along the face of Wall 12, 5 coins were found within the fill, as well as a bronze ring and fragments of painted plaster (ΒΘ 134) from a wall.; ; Numerous joining sherds were found in ΒΘ Lots 402-404, which could potentially lead to more complete vessels. At least 1 vessel with full profile, a plate with poorly preserved glaze, is stored in ΒΘ Lot 404. Other joining fragments include significant portions of course water jars and amphorae, and a large pithos lid with decorative grooves (west:2012:f:42).; ; The fill in Room 3 was uniform in consistency, and no floor levels were found. The approximate elevation at which the 3 complete vessels were found was 53.630. The ceramic vessels were dated by Dr. Fotini Kondyli to the 9th-11th centuries A.D, although the fill around vessels contained ceramic evidence dating to the 12th-13th centuries A.D. The primary types of glazed Byzantine pottery found in the fill included green and brown painted ware, plain glaze ware, Constantinople white ware, and monochrome glaze. ; ; Excavation of Room 3 progressed over the course of the 2012 season, and was only stopped due to the end of season. Fill below the end of season stopping point (elev.: 53.509) may contain sherds that join with those from the 2012 excavation season. See also ΒΘ Lots 139, 239 and 240 for possible joining sherds from previous excavation seasons.; ; ; ; 2013 Addendum:; ; During the 2013 field season, excavation in Room 3 of ΒΘ West revealed 3 ceramic vessels at approximately the same elevation as the pots assigned to Deposit K 3:2 during the 2012 season. In addition to the 3 vessels, a roof cover tile was mended from the tile debris in the same area, and 10 coins were found within the fill directly above and around the surface, mostly Anonymous Byzantine Folles datable to 1070-1075 A.D.; ; Excavation in Room 3 was restricted to a small area south of and adjacent to Wall 23. The fragmentary remains of a ceramic pithos (ΒΘ 178) were revealed after the removal of a reused threshold block above the pithos. Many fragments of a deep bowl with poorly preserved glaze (ΒΘ 171) were wedged between the wall of the pithos and the southern face of Wall 23. Half of a dish with poorly preserved glaze (ΒΘ 179) was found in the northern scarp of the trench. An illegible coin (ΒΘ-239) was found in the fill within the pithos (ΒΘ 178).; ; The fill within the pithos was removed separately (ΒΘ Lot 528), and after consultation with Dr. Joanita Vroom and the Agora staff, all fill from the pithos was saved, but not given an Agora Sample number. Removal of fill around the pithos (ΒΘ Lot 529, 10th-11th century A.D.) revealed a poorly preserved pale yellow clay floor sloping downwards from west to east (elev.: 53.803 ¬¬– 53.590). All of the 2013 cataloged objects included in Deposit K 3:2 were found in the fill above this floor, with the pithos and some of the coins resting on it. The floor was left in situ at the end of the season.; ; 2017 Addendum:; ; In 2017, we resumed excavation of Room 3, concentrating our efforts on the high baulk at the northeastern part of the room.; We began by excavating the eastern portion of the high baulk (Lots ΒΘ 951, 952, 953, 955). A plaster layer was exposed and removed over the course of several baskets in the southern half of the eastern portion at an average elevation of 53.883m, and ceramic material from these layers date from the late 11th-early 13th century AD. We also uncovered fragments of a Byzantine vessel at an elevation of 53.590m, which were later removed entirely (ΒΘ 302).; While excavating the western portion of the high baulk (Lots ΒΘ 954, 958), we documented and removed the majority of the tile concentration lying at K/6,8-3/1,2 as postulated in the 2016 season report (ΒΘ West, p. 11). Ceramic material from this removal dates the layer from the 11th-13th century AD.; With the evidence available, we can now interpret the large amount of tile uncovered this season and previous seasons in this part of Room 3 as the consequence of a roof collapse. The whole sequence of abandonment and collapse was completed sometime in the 13th century AD.","","27 June-30 July 2012; 17-30 July 2013; 16 June-2 August 2017","","Deposit","Agora","James Artz","Agora:Image:2021.22.0040::/Agora/2021/2021.22/2021.22.0040.tif::2048::1374","","9th-11th c.
