  • This stratum displays a flat, horizontal, compact surface, with orange, yellow, black, and red stains in a dark brown soil matrix with a clay composition. The stones and one cubilium are visible on the surface. There is a high concentration of charcoal throughout the stratum, and a medium concentration of ceramics as well. Digging down it became clear that stones and broken blocks in part delineated the edge of this stratum. The interface with the successive stratum was clear for reasons of color and consistency.
  • Excavated in its entirety. However, as noted, only part had been preserved, since the modern terracing seems to have disturbed its stratigraphy further west.
