  • This yellow layer rests directly on top of the road 5015 and under 5013. The deposit is very compact and full of pottery. It does not extend across the road to the north but trails off midway across. It exists fully from E-W although was troweled off on the east edge. Scavato nel 2009 e'stato interpretato come una iniziale sistemazione di 5015 in corrispondenza del cedimento, ancora riferibile a periodo romano, ma la moneta di Giustino II e lo studio della ceramica indica una datazione piu' tarda. E'coperto da 5289 in corrispondenza di 5320; copre 5015 e 5379 a W.
  • Because the yellow goes under 5013, it must be earlier but perhaps is a contemporary make-up of the medieval road 5013.
