There are moderate to frequent inclusions of a white mortar which likely belongs to the SU below. Given this it seems plausible to suggest this fill may have been deposited in some sort of plastered or mortared basin. The inclusion of many large stones of basalt within this deposit may have largely broken up the plastered sides/floor of the basin, resulting in the commingled interface between this SU and the one below, and the inclusion of fragments of mortar in SU8149. | 439 | 07/05/17 | 35 | 35 | 7/5/17 02:38 PM | 7/5/17 02:38 PM |

The collapse is contained west of rooms I-11, I-12, I-13 and I-14, and is bounded to the north by room I-10 and to the south by room I-15. The fairly restricted nature of this collapse suggests the wall was intentionally knocked over. In support of this hypothesis is the fairly level surface created by the collapse - the vertically arranged bricks, slabs of tuff and two large blocks of tuff (west of rooms I-11 and I-12) are roughly at the same level. The fact that this level corresponds to the preserved height of the remaining walls suggests this functioned as the preparation for a surface in the later days of the site. It is possible that a floor was constructed atop the collapsed remains, but no traces of this survive. | 39 | 07/09/17 | 39 | 39 | 7/9/17 04:20 AM | 7/27/17 12:46 AM |

The top has been heavily disturbed by ploughing. The western face in I-17 has not yet been fully exposed, but a series of small holes at regular intervals are visible, as well as a drainage feature in the SE corner of I-17. I-15 has not been excavated as of the 2017 season so the wall face is not yet visible there. I-14 has also not been fully excavated and a ramp has been left in the SW corner, obscuring the eastern face of the SU in I-14. The eastern face of the SU in I-13 has been fully exposed down to the floor and retains some plaster extending halfway down from the top of the wall (SU 8250). On its southern limit the SU appears to have formed a doorway with SU 8262, which has been plugged by SU 8261. | Grey and friable | 0.1-2cm | NULL | 0 | 0 | 0 | NULL | NULL | NULL | NULL | NULL | NULL | NULL | NULL | NULL | NULL | NULL | NULL | NULL | NULL | NULL | No | NULL | NULL | NULL | NULL | NULL | NULL | 39 | 35 | 6/26/17 08:35 AM | 7/26/17 01:43 AM | NULL | NULL | NULL | NULL | NULL | NULL | NULL | LIMIT_DEPTH - Not Original, LIMIT_EAST - Original, LIMIT_NORTH - Not Original, LIMIT_NORTH - Original, LIMIT_SOUTH - Original, LIMIT_WEST - Original | NULL | STRUCT_BINDING_AGENT - Mortar, STRUCT_BUILDING_TECHNIQUE - Concrete, STRUCT_MORTAR_INCLUSIONS - Tiles, STRUCT_MORTAR_INCLUSIONS - Tufo, STRUCT_WALL_FACING - Petit Appareil, STRUCT_WALL_FINISHING - Plaster | NULL | 0 Covers, 8118 Abuts, 8121 Abuts, 8124 Abuts, 8132 Abuts, 8212 Abuts, 8216 Abuts, 8226 Abuts, 8236 Abuts, 8250 Covers, 8254 Abuts, 8255 Covers, 8261 Abuts | 4792 | 8123 | The SU delimits I-13 and I-14 from I-15 and I-17, although it was fully exposed only in I-13 during the 2017 season. The regular holes in the western face of the wall in I-17 suggest a feature, perhaps tiles (tegulae mammatae) were affixed there. The drainage feature in the southeast corner of the wall (as yet unexcavated) suggests movement of water or air through the wall. It may also suggest, in the presence of tegulae mammatae, that this was a heated room, and the tiles allowed for the circulation of air up the walls. The wall appears to have originally formed a doorway with SU 8262 connecting I-14 and I-15, which in a later phase of construction was plugged with SU 8261. The wall appears to be part of the original construction based on similarity to the rest of the Area I complex. | 434 | 07/19/17 | 350 | 39 | 7/19/17 03:15 PM | 7/27/17 01:01 AM |

It is likely original because it has sharp edges and is the same construction type as the other walls surrounding room I-13. Based on the technique of construction of the room, it was likely built during the Imperial period. The room construction was not altered like other rooms in this complex (although some cuts, undocumented in the 2017 season, were identified, which point to the robbery and/or reuse of the area). The doorway to room I-13 was not plugged, unlike many of the other doorways in the complex in the western sector of Area I 2017. This suggests the room continued to be used in later periods. Even though this wall does not have any plaster on it, the other surrounding walls making up room I-13 all have plaster on them. This is significant because none of the other walls in the western area of the complex in area I still have plaster. | 436 | 07/20/17 | 39 | 39 | 7/20/17 08:50 AM | 7/21/17 08:56 AM |

In the original phase, it seems to delimit a long, narrow room running from the main trunk road southward behind the row of small rooms that flank the eastern side of the open piazza. Further excavation in Rooms 4, 5, and 6 and further expansion southward (where the wall continues) is necessary to fully understand this wall and the nature of the space(s) to which it is related. | 9 | 07/21/17 | 9 | 9 | 7/21/17 11:25 AM | 7/21/17 11:25 AM |

This conclusion is based on the fact that these slabs are bound by mortar to the wall on the northern side, and sit at a higher elevation than the slab floor that appears to be associated with the construction of the original ashlar wall (floor 7137 and wall 7078). In terms of their function, based on the presence of the repurposed tufo block 7163 and the holes in the easternmost slab - directly above a known drainage tunnel/cuniculus, running N-S - these slabs may have served as some kind of waste disposal, perhaps even a latrine. | 9 | 07/22/17 | 9 | 9 | 7/22/17 07:27 AM | 7/22/17 07:27 AM |

The southern facade of the wall was different in both rooms, suggesting that these rooms had different functions. In room I-10, the wall was lined with a layer of opus signinum, which is typically used as a water-resistant material. In room I-18, the facade bore notches, evenly spaced and in alignment with the tops of the "stairs" (SU 8246) in the northeast corner of the room.

Ancient toolmarks are visible in the floor just north of this cut, and are likely associated with the cutting activity. The floor is smooth and well-preserved throughout Room I-13, with the exception of an irregular patch in the south-central portion of the room that is more poorly preserved.

At some point after the floor was constructed, it was truncated by later activity associated changing uses of Room I-13. A series of six postholes were cut in a rough line, perhaps to create a platform, roof, or other wooden structure. The floor near the doorway of Room I-13 has been robbed out, apparently with picks, based on pick marks still visible on the surface of the SU nearby.

Two scenarios seem possible. First, these stones could be collapsed from wall 8217. Arguments favoring this circumstance are that there is a space of a size similar to these stones in the wall, and the nearby N-S wall 8043 running along the same access is constructed with similar tufo slabs. The second possibility is that the stones were used for a construction feature - possibly a step? This argument is favored by the floor-like-surface in room I-5 which abuts this feature, which, if indeed a floor, makes it unlikely that SU 8223 was a post-abandonment collapse. | 304 | 07/17/17 | 35 | 35 | 7/17/17 12:33 PM | 7/23/17 09:19 AM |

Underneath the collapse is what appears to be an extensive mosaic. At this time, only the black border was visible. In areas where the mosaic tesserae have been removed, a smooth prep floor layer is visible. Patches of all three layers were visible in various places underneath this SU. In order to protect the mosaic, which cannot be excavated this season due to time constraints and conservation concerns, the soil from this SU was not fully excavated and will need to be removed next season. | 314 | 07/27/17 | 314 | 314 | 7/27/17 05:21 AM | 7/27/17 05:21 AM |

Possibly no such surface existed, and the top of this deposit (which could be made quite level by wear) may have served as a surface. SUch a surface could be associated with the late phase mortar production nearby, and it is unlikely that much was invested in constructing a proper 'road' at this time and location, which may have been on the fringes of the settled area of Gabii. | 443 | 07/18/18 | 35 | 35 | 7/18/17 02:21 PM | 7/23/17 06:48 AM |
