- composition
- good-mediocre
- opus mixtum
- none visible
- bricks, rubble
- 59 cm wide
- pozzolanic
- foundations, large chunks of yellow tufa
- foundations: N/A; walls: 24 cm
- bipedales as bonding course, triangular bricks in wall
- white-blue, hard
- Foundations with traces of building courses survive in eastern extension; consist of large yellow tufa chunks with occasional appearance of limestone chunks. Bipedalis traces visible west of 5245. Foundation mortar is white-blue and hard with small-medium sized inclusions of purple pozz. (less than or equal to 2 cm). Wall above bonding courses survives just east of 5272 as two courses of triangular bricks ca. 20 cm wide. In continuation of wall in western extension, no bricks are evident above bonding course, as wall proceeds directly into roughly squared chunks of porous volcanic stone in rough courses similar to construction of 5037. Mortar of wall is similar to that of foundations.
