Interpretation
-
- A destruction layer? Make-up of a later road? Difficult to say in a 1 x 1 m sondage. After expanding we decided that it is a destruction layer that covers part of the road.

Description
- color, compaction, contents
- handpick, pick, trowel
- 1 x 1 m sondage that was then extended
- soil
- yellow-brown
- friable
- artificial
- occasional rock
- heavy burn in NW corner, large sections of charcoal
- very common tile, common mortar, many nails, fresco
- This layer of tile and mortar was very jumbled throughout the majority of the sondage with tiles resting vertically, diagonally and horizontally. On the eastern edge, heading into the eastern section, three tiles lay flat and contiguous. In the NW corner under the tile jumble, there was a burned patch. We also found 2 nails resting on the tile as well as a coin. The layer has a space south of 5008 that is more rich in mortar on the road 5025. After expansion of the trench, the layer was found to contain a compact layer of mortar and tiles on top of a looser layer of yellow and dark brown soil immediately covering a burned layer (SU 5029).
- This tile might be the make-up of a later road because it rests on the Roman road 5015. Surrounding the 3 contiguous, flat tiles, however, are other more randomly situated, broken tiles. This area was expanded and this layer was found to be to the south of SSU 5008.
