Description
- consistency, composition
- pick, trowel
- see plan
- clayey sand
- mid grayish brown
- friable
- later post-holes (medieval intervention)
- accumulation
- white stone (small to medium frags)
- broken bricks, mortar fragments, ceramics, marble fragments (including a cornice); glass crucible or slag
- This stratum displays a slight slope from north to south with a surface marked by a medium concentration of mostly mortar fragments (in medium concentration) along with a low concentration of brick and white stone randomly dispersed. The inclusions are still found in a medium concentration throughout the stratum with a friable clayey sand soil matrix. There were few ceramics found here (probably medieval) and also a few marble fragments, including a marble cornice. This distinction with this stratum below was evident for reasons of consistency, color and composition.
- This stratum was only excavated in a narrow N-S strip singled out because of time constraints.
