Washed-in filling at the base of the Acropolis cliffs, some 7m. east of the Klepsydra; the fill was characterized by teh fragments of a series of red-figured oinochoai of special shape, of the late 5th ... Late 3rd c. B.C ... The filling which had been undisturbed since antiquity, was in places as much as 0.80m deep and produced a great quantity of pottery. Much of the pottery was coarse, fragments of rooftiles, storage jars and so on; but it included fragments of at least eight very curious oinochoes. The deposit seems certainly to have been formed at one time; the latest sherds and the coins show that this must have been as late as the end of the third c. ... Although the character of the pottery precluded the possibility that this was a sanctuary dump, it seemed probable at first that the pit was in part artificial, and that the pottery had been deliberately deposited there.
