[Agora Deposit] E 2:3: Foundry Pit

"Foundry Pit": N-S Cut on 50m. line (area of Stoa, Layer VII, with slag). A foundry pit in the courtyard of a small metalworking establishment outside the Agora to the northwest. Both the courtyard and ... Ca. 375-350 B.C ... Both the courtyard and the pit preserved many traces of iron-working including slag, ash and charcoal, along with a considerable amount of pottery, figured, plain glazed and coarse, all fragmentary but constituting a homogeneous deposit, most of it rather earlier than the most developed material from Olynthos. A few pieces not directly from the pit, but from closely related levels in the immediate vicinity are referred to this deposit.
