The shaft was filled with a mixture of pottery, roof tiles (mostly painted), bone, charcoal, and chunks of the shaft lining that must have fallen from the upper portion of the shaft, which is no longer preserved. |

A well on the NW slope of the Areopagus; unfinished well-shaft dug to a depth of only 3.05m., and refilled with broken pottery and other debris. The shaft clearly was begun with the intention of digging a well, since footholds were cut in the sides; the reason for the abandonment was not clear; the rock appeared quite suitable for well-sinking. The filling, 490-480 B.C. and earlier, might however suggest that external circumstances interrupted the project; the neighboring shaft, F 19:4, would then represent a slightly later attempt to provide water supply in this vicinity.
