Title:   Pyre in Room 8 of Roman House H
Category:   Pyre
Description:   Pyre in Room 8 of Roman House H. Concentration of artifacts, bone, and flecks of carbon in stratum, no pit discerned. the pyre lay within a red fill apparently contemporary with it, but with some later intrusions; no trace of a floor above it survives. The stratigraphy around the pyre could not be related to the architectural history of the house, though the date allows association with the reconstruction of the house near 300. The pottery shows traces of burning.
