Possibly a leveling layer for a raised flow surface - the high level of the foundation in adjacent wall 8076 also supports this.

It appears that this rubble deposit fills what used to be the location of a second step up from the floor surface present in i4. Whether the step was robbed out for use elsewhere is not immediately certain but there most certainly would have been a step in this location at a previous phase of habitation, based on the difference in elevation between threshold 8019 and step 8073. The accumulation of tufo based rubble covers in part the step below and may have been intended to allow continued access up to the floor in i2, if some kind of surface once covered it. It is not clear at this time whether the fill dates exactly to the time of the phase of the industrial use or before or even after.37407/21/1632357/21/16 09:46 AM7/28/16 01:12 AM

Southern limit is the northern wall of Room 15. Western limit is an excavation limit; the collapse appears to continue westwards under the baulk. We set an excavation limit here because we need to use the ramp that is located there and further excavation in this area would have prohibited that. Eastern limit appears original along western walls of rooms I-11, I-12, I-13 and I-14, although the layer has been cut by a plow beside the northwest corner of room I-13. Layer extends into rooms I-11 and I-12. Excavation of SU 8141 on July 1st to 3rd revealed that the eastern limit continued into room I-11.Cleaned and documented at beginning of excavation season 2017. Excavation taken up on July 3rd when eastern limit revealed and collapse appeared intentional and possibly related to late antique activity on site.

Southern limit is the northern wall of Room 15. Western limit is an excavation limit; the collapse appears to continue westwards under the baulk. We set an excavation limit here because we need to use the ramp that is located there and further excavation in this area would have prohibited that. Eastern limit appears original along western walls of rooms I-11, I-12, I-13 and I-14, although the layer has been cut by a plow beside the northwest corner of room I-13. Layer extends into rooms I-11 and I-12. Excavation of SU 8141 on July 1st to 3rd revealed that the eastern limit continued into room I-11.Cleaned and documented at beginning of excavation season 2017.

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 SU8149.43907/05/1735357/5/17 02:38 PM7/5/17 02:38 PM

The collapse consists primarily of bricks and slabs of tuff, bound together by mortar. Many of these have fallen vertically into the ground; others horizontally. 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.3907/09/1739397/9/17 04:20 AM7/27/17 12:46 AM

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.

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.

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.907/22/17997/22/17 07:27 AM7/22/17 07:27 AM

It sits at a lower level than slab floor 7130, and there are no traces of mortar. Also, while 7130 was only covered by post-abandonment accumulation 7077, this slab was also covered by 7128, suggesting that it fell out of use still earlier. The hole in the slab almost certainly corresponds to a known north-south subterranean drainage feature (cuniculus), running from the southeast corner of Room 1 to the north. Part of its function in the original phase thus seems to have been as a drain for waste of some sort, located in what would have been the corner of a room formed by walls 7057 (north), 7078 (east), 7097/7158/7143 (south), and 7142/7167 (west).907/22/17997/22/17 10:55 AM7/22/17 10:55 AM

For the moment, the nature of the space between the eastern limit of this block and the western limit of wall 7098 is unclear, in part due to the presence of wall 7080, but also because there is an irregular grey tufo stone (not documented) at the eastern end, which may belong to some kind of slab floor or threshold.907/23/17997/23/17 03:54 AM7/23/17 03:54 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.

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. It is not clear at present whether the circular cuts in the floor correspond with the original use of the room or a later use (probably the latter).31207/19/1739397/19/17 02:04 PM7/21/17 09:56 AM

The second possibility is that the stones were used for a construction feature - possibly a step?

This is the area of the earlier road, and the SU's composition - very hard-packed, similarly-sized (about the size of a fist) rubble - and compactness suggest that it was deposited as a leveling layer for a later surface which has perhaps been removed by later plowing. 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.44307/18/1835357/18/17 02:21 PM7/23/17 06:48 AM

The wall has the same alignment as wall 8039 to the west and 8160 to the east, but is poorly preserved, with few reticulate wall stones in situ. However, this in combination with the alignment and the slightly gray color (due to the mortar) allowed it to be differentiated from rubble leveling layer SU 8187 which covered it and extended to the north. Only the top of the wall has been exposed, but it appears that the wall had collapsed - perhaps intentionally - before the floor preparation (SU 8187 and 8152) was laid down. Room I16 thus appears to have been open to the street (whatever form the street took in this late phase; it must have been about level with Room I16).43907/18/1735357/18/17 03:32 PM7/23/17 01:53 PM
