From the Artemision at Ephesus, found near the east wall of the sekos of the Archaic marble dipteros of Artemis in a layer predating the temple of Croesus (Kerschner 1997, 104, 181, 225, fig. 2, 3:10, 11–13, “Aufschüttung B”). It covered a dried-out, although occasionally flooded river bed, which had been used as sacrificial deposit during the last third of the seventh century BC. (The fragmentary “Ephesian Ware” stemmed dish No. 115 was found in the uppermost layer of this sacrificial deposit.) At the very end of the seventh century BC, this semi-dry ancient river bed was finally filled up in order to erect a base built of small limestone slabs, which was excavated by Hogarth (Hogarth et al. 1908, 46, atlas pl. 1, square D–E 5; pl. 2 right). Hogarth documented an irregular, obviously partly destroyed structure, and called it a “fragment of foundation.” A. Bammer (Bammer 1993, 156, fig. 7 “Basis B;” cf. Weissl 2002, 330–332, fig. 9, 11, 14; Bammer 2007, 13, fig. 9 “Kultbasis B”), on the other hand, interpreted it as the foundation of a separate small square monument, which he called a “cult basis” and compared to a better preserved limestone structure beneath the north foundation of Croesus’ temple (Bammer 1988, 1–4, fig. 1–3; on the problematic interpretation of these structure: Weissl 2003/04, 177, 184, 188–190). The late seventh century fill beneath this limestone foundation consisted of two parts, which were deposited one immediately after the other. The upper fill (“Aufschüttung A”) was made up by thousands of fragments of a seventh century terracotta roof attributed by Schädler and Schneider (Schädler and Schneider 2004, 41–44) to the early Archaic peripteros (cf. Kerschner 2005, 141–142, proposing a later date). The lower fill (“Aufschüttung B”) contained, in addition to the electrum coin No. 21, pottery fragments (Kerschner 1997, 139–155, cat. no. 58–92, pl. 9–12), animal bones and charcoal dating the deposition to the very end of the seventh century BC. Thus ca. 600 BC is a terminus ante quem for No. 21.
