"Komos Cistern","","Last quarter of 3rd c. B.C.-Early 2nd century B.C.","Agora","Komos Cistern at 66/Κ, on the north slope of the Areopagus. Homogeneous fill.; ; Thirty-four stamped amphora handles. Eight Histiaian tetrobols, dating 170-160 at the earliest, found near top, possibly an intrusive hoard. Largest group of moldmade relief ware, consisting of fragments of 183 bowls, one moldmade jug and nine molds. At least 119 bowls are products of Workshop of Bion; only 15 made by Workshop A. Great similarity among bowls, many with same stamps. Most were made in fresh molds. Four molds made by Workshop of Bion, one perhaps a practice piece made by unskilled apprentice.; These facts suggest M 21:1 represents debris from Workshop of Bion, located near by. Cistern N 21:4 , 20 meters to northeast, contained similar evidence of workshop activity.","Deposit","","Agora:Image:1997.20.0433::/Agora/1997/1997.20/1997.20.0433.tif::608::968","","Agora:Deposit:M 21:1","M 21:1","","","20 May-24 June 1947"

"Drawshaft","","Late 2nd-early 1st c. B.C.","Agora","Part of the cistern system 44/ΙΓ - 46/ΙΑ - 42/Θ. The filling of the 46/ΙΑ cistern shaft, with the exception of a little Roman at the top, was the same as the bottom fill of 44/ΙΓ - late Hellenistic, running down to the end of the 1st c. B.C. and perhaps into the 1st c. A.D. (p. 3149). ; Objects listed as ""mouth of cistern 46/ΙΑ"" are included here.; ; Nine stamped amphora handles. One-fifth of bowls long-petal. Physical joins between pottery in D 12:2 and D 11:4 indicate all potttery deposited at one time.","Deposit","","","","Agora:Deposit:D 12:2","D 12:2","","","25 February-5 March 1936"

"Cistern at 70/ΚΕ","","Ca. 200-150 B.C.","Agora","Cistern at 70/ΚΕ and channels. Part of same system as D 17:3 and D 17:5. It was set  against a corner of the lowest foundation block. Thus one is forced to assume that enough of the wall remained at least to preserve its line. After Sulla many of the blocks at the east and were pulled out, the north wall of court F was placed on the western foundations, but at a slightly different angle, and the wall as such ceased to exist.; The following objects are from the dirt pile and have no subdivision:; G 397, S 1436, ST 470, T 2927.","Deposit","","","","Agora:Deposit:D 17:4","D 17:4","","","20-27 April 1949"

Neither the upper nor the lower fill had the characteristics of a period of use full. [Nbp. 3001]; ; Upper fill: two stamped amphora handles; one-third of bowls long petal.; Lower fill: Bronze coin from Histiaia (?); no long-petal bowls; bowls of M Monogram Class; pottery probably a contemporary household dump.","Deposit","","","","Agora:Deposit:D 17:5","D 17:5","","","7-9 April 1949"
"Theseion Cisterns A and B (1936)","","Ca. 325-275 B.C.","Agora","Two chambers connected by a tunnel, all filled at the same time, but with slight Hellenistic disturbance. Chamber A, to west at 14/ΛΗ, B to east at 14-15/ΛΒ on grid for section RR.; Cistern system ca. 20.00m. south of the south stylobate of the Hephaisteion. Basically a single dumped filling; the presence in the filling of a few later objects...possibly as late as the second half of the 3rd c., probably indicates a supplementary filling. Abandonment of cistern and source of contents probaby attributable to an undetermined event in the early part of the decade 310 B.C.; In the early 3rd c. B.C. very possibly  ca. 277/6 (see Garden article), the southerly side of Kolonos, outside the Precinct Wall, was levelled off and the double cistern were cut down and filled p. 833.","Deposit","","","","Agora:Deposit:D-E 8-9:1","D-E 8-9:1","","","4-14 February 1936"
