Description POSI | A section which has been exposed by bulldozing in the side of a slope. The bulldozer probably pushed the dirt from the section to the east to create the road. Lots of red polished ware pottery (all thicknesses), some in situ but most of it can be seen as eroding out of the slope. The various pottery thicknesses indicate a settlement. At the east end of the section there is a more stable section with a concentration of stones covered in carbonate (Jay's method the amount and type of carbonate can indicate the age of the artifact). Half a mortar was found at the other side of the road mid way along the section, this has carbonate on it. Also a very possible quern stone was found 20m east of the section on the other side of the road ( to be looked at later by carol). The section is roughly 35m long and 3m high at its highest point. The section is facing south. Section was drawn, photographed, and collectedABK (20 Oct 2004). Georghos Georghiou had gone back himself on 9/9/04 to have a look and make another collection. he actually did make a collection for the CS. there's plenty of Chalco or Late Chalco pottery (i can't really tell) AND what appear to be some Philia sherds as well. more importantly, there were two pieces of picrolite (one is a blank, one MAY be part of a pendant), about ten NICE groundstone pieces (hammerstones, mortars) and a couple of what looked to me to be axes, one of which was made of some stone like flint..... anyway, Carole MUST see this material, and so must Mara, BUT we will have to apply to the director to see it, and until it has a CS number we can't even do that: giorgios was just being kind to me today. So, for the record, there are three trays (two pottery, one groundstone) from Phlasou KOUTROULIS collected on 9/9/04 which soon will have a CS number, and which both Mara and Carole should certainly see asap.4 Nov 04. CS 2957. Application to see material. |
