- This stratum was individuated for its color and the inclusions present. It is distributed horizontally with a slight slope E-W. On the surface, this stratum presents a high concentration of small inclusions of ceramic, brick, and reused mortar fragments, and the earth in which these inclusions are distributed is compact and of a clay matrix. The inclusions below the surface are in a lower concentration, and a greater proportion are of a medium size. The inclusions themselves are consistently distributed in a random pattern throughout the stratum. The presence of a medium concentration of animal bones should also be noted. This stratum was not of uniform thickness, ranging from approximately 10 to 20 cm; deeper areas were found in the southern portion of this stratum. It was distinguished from the succeeding strata because of its color and consistency, and also for the marked reduction of inclusions.
