the presence of these partial human remains is likely the product of a late antique or early medieval burial, most likely associated with the nearby church and monastery. this burial appears to be part of a series of possible burials in the vicinity of su 7322, an ashlar wall which defines the eastern limit of room 15. su 7322 is part of a multi-course ashlar wall running north-south which also defines the eastern limits of several other rooms in area H. the best evidence for multiple burials in this vicinity, over some significant course of time, is su 7389 (likely a crude tufo sarcophagus) which abuts su 7322 and 7366. based on their relationships to su 7366, it is clear that 7389 predates 7307, further from the position of the tibia it can be determined that the upper body of 7307 would have been present in a location above 7389. a third burial, following 7307, can be inferred from the tile concrete feature su 7373 in room 16. this feature abuts three concrete walls su 7365, 7369, and 7308 which covers 7307. these features in room 16 suggest a tomb prepared partially above 7307 (and probably long after its deposition such that knowledge of the precise limits of the burial associated with 7307 was lacking). within a couple meters east of su 7322 there appears to be another parallel ashlar wall (SU 7108) abutted by at least two features, both of which consist of rectangular circuits of stone and may represent additional burials associated with 7307 and 7389. the ashlar walls (both 7322 and 7108) may have remained visible into late antiquity and the early medieval period and therefore served as features attracting this series of late burials. it is quite possible that additional human remains from 7307 (as well as the contents of 7389) were recovered in previous excavation by the soprintendenza.
