Description

  • color, composition, consistency
  • trowel
  • N-S: 1.75 m; depth: 0.04 m; E-W: 2.10 m (variable)
  • clay
  • pale pinkish gray speckled with black, white, and orange
  • stiff
  • partial loss
  • artificial
  • pebbles, carbon, stones and orange clay
  • bone fragments, carbon flecks
  • plaster bits, glass fragments and worked marble, along with fragments of colored marble (purple porphyry and serpentina)
  • Pink clay layer in eastern area of chapel with some marble and stone inclusions. The layer is a fairly regular thickness.
  • Where this layer covers cement layer 3128, it's size and thickness is much reduced, whereas in areas where it sits on 3125 (a brown dirt layer) it is very well preserved. This is due to the fact that the clay sticks to the dirt, but peels quite easily from the cement. It is likely that it shared the same limits as 3076. Traces of both 3076 and 3117 were found on the exposed cement 3107, but were no longer apparent at the time of excavation. Cut marble paving stones found in the NE area of the chapel may be in situ and related to 3107, 3117, 3128, 3076.
