  • The stratum of rubble fills an enclosure made by four walls, SU 10001, 10002, 10003 and 10006. The stratum of earth, although friable, is made extremely compact by densely packed inclusions of rocks (10-25 cm), blue and gray mortar (10-20 cm) and tile fragments. The matrix becomes more compact with much vaster concentrations of blue mortar fragments, ceramic inclusions also increase in number and are more concentrated along the SU 10001. Dense clay is also found in the matrix along the borders of the walls.
