Interpretation
-
- Fill of grave 3103. It is possible that this was a very important grave finished with spicatum bricks (3143), though this may be from a second phase of using the tomb (since a brick of this sort was found at the bottom of fill 3104). Given the presence of the disarticulated skeleton in the fill (at the SE corner of the cut under the right lower leg of *3102) it does seem likely that the grave was used more than once. See interpretation for 3153.
