Notes: | -70 more consolidated and more well-sorted than 63 -Mixed: red and black -70 is overlaid by context 63, which is laid over floor surface in N. half of room; in S. half, however, removal of 63 revealed another deposit slightly elevated above the floor level.

Escavation moved south towards walls 51 and 54 -As excavation continued southwards, a significantly greater amount of large pebble inclusions were encountered within the matrix of the soil -Excavation of context 70 S. of feature 64, within possible bin, revealed several large fragments of a jar (poss. originally in-situ) -Iron nail recovered in S. end of context, near threshold of walls 51 and 54 -More fragments of pietra ollare recovered in context, near location where previously recovered -Excavatino of 70 revealed large amount of rubble (medium and large pebbles, mostly) in S. half of room; this is possibly fill, but it is similar elevation as preserved floor surface in N. half of room -Pietra ollare, glass, iron nail, and bone recovered from context NA-150: Pietra Ollare (Photo: digital_2017_0240) | |
