Description This is a level of relatively clean, fine soil, Munsell 7.5YR 6/4, which lay just under the destruction level of Locus 1. It overlay the floor bedding of Locus 11. It contained small amounts of pottery, bits of bone, glass and metal and 344 white limestone tesserae, a few still joined with thick, off-white mortar. The pottery was a fairly churned-up, random mix of just about every type of pottery seen in this site, including one large (eastern?) terra sigiliata bowl base fragment. No architectural fragments.
