Interpretation
-
- Foundation of a tower? Collapse of a building into the E edge of the section?

- We are currently convinced that it\'s not the foundation for a massive tower but rather the destruction of a wall/building that exists beyond the w section.

Stratigraphic Relationships
Description
- compaction, inclusions
- pick, trowel
- rocks in silt
- black
- very compact
- good
- artificial
- abundant limestone rocks with several larger rocks - paving stones from the road 5015
- rare bone
- tiles, occasional pottery
- This deposit sits at the east end of Area D and is likely contemporary with the ditch 5004. The edges of 5005 are very obvious and therefore deliberate (?). The size of the deposit suggests perhaps a foundation of a tower. Lo strato poggia direttamente su 5015 mentre è tagliato sul lato E dal 5004; in sezione è visibile uno strato di bruciato alla base. 10-June 2008: We expanded the trench 3 m to the west to expose more of this context.
- Walls are appearing within the destruction. They are almost directly opposite (but slightly askew from) the series of rooms excavated at the beginning of 2008 (containing SU 5035, 5034, 5084).
