Well at 115/ΣΤ (all the 5th c. fills of 116/ΣΤ). The lower part of the shaft contained a heavy deposit of pottery and other objects of the late archaic period, both coarse and finer wares; probably a post-Persian clean-up. A Roman well at 116/ΣΤ (D 15:2) was subsequently dug beside it, and later the party wall between the two broke at two points, allowing some of the filling from D 15:1 to fall into the deeper shaft of D 15:2; there is thus no stratification.
