2019-06-28 Unknown Author

After study this layer is interpreted as a resurfacing of the road in order to service the nearby quarry and the necropolis that developed after the abandonment of the domestic structures immediately to the west.

Unknown Date Unknown Author

A road surface paved with stones, which seems to be contemporary with SU293 (east wall), on the basis of the presence of aligned foundation stones at the same depth.
