Observations and Descriptions

Observations

Excavated on 15-7-16 with trowel

Position

On the eastern side of the courtyard, W of wall 2245

Shape

Irregular

Layers

Surface

Many visible stone inclusions across surface. Slight downward slope from E. to W.

Inclusion Observations

Stone, wattle and daub, some ceramic scattered irregularly throughout layer. The excavators claimed sulfur was found but I suspect this was simply a yellow rock.

Thickness Observations

Slopes downward from E to W

Interface

Commingled Diffuse Sharp

Interpretations

2016-07-25 J Troy Samuels

Stony layer of accumulation possibly related to abandonment of leveling activity.

2015-07-15 Morgan Flottmeier

a rocky deposit, possibly a floor prep or intentional dump

Dates and Phasing

Approximate Date of Layer

BC AD

Date of Layer Observations

General date range based on impasto rosso production period. Dolium rim may yield more information with further study, but no comparanda present in on-site texts. No clearly wheel made ceramics present, no later dateable wares. All impasto, impasto rosso.
