Description
- compaction, components, color
- pick, shovel
- not clear, limits difficult to define approximately
- earth that is very clayey and pebbley
- dark orange brown
- stiff, sticky
- poor (see observations)
- artificial
- pebbles
- flecks of carbon, traces of lime, loose bones
- some small fragments of mortar and very small fragments of bricks
- A layer of orange brown earth, quite firm, stiff and sticky into which a number of graves were cut. The depth of the layer is irregular and extends across the greater part of room I, building I, west of the praefurnium and covering the praefurnium mouth (along with its later fills).
- The limits of this layer were difficult to discern and are estimates only. We have set the limits approximately to the area in which earthern graves were dug. It has two major cuts running E-W.
