Observations and Descriptions

Observations

Area was partially excavated in 2012, which determined that numerous layers represented various dumps deposited in quick succession, all in the same period. The decision was therefore made to remove the remaining material as a single SU. Special finds: 923, 924, 926, 927, 928, 929, 930.

Position

Easternmost wall in Area F - North.

Shape

Rectangular

Slopes irregularly from north to south.

Clusters of large rocks throughout the SU.

Thickness Observations

Deeper to the south.

SU5171 represents the accumulation of rubble dumped steadily over a relatively short period of time, after all of the basalt paving stones had been robbed out of the road.

BC AD

Date of Layer Observations

Julio-Claudian date, but has residual pottery dating to 70/30 BC, mostly black gloss/TS and Campana A, Romana D, and big internally glazed bowls. (Antonio Ferrandes)
