• Old Context CodeCH05SR0535
• DefinitionCollapse in Room 38
• DescriptionFallen stones of big and small dimensions (10cm to 50cm max length). Most of the large stones are dressed quarry blocks. Stones are mixed with gray soil, several tiles, pottery, glass; the layer extended all over the room, abutting the outside wall and the stairs of W corner. Along one side of the room this layer seemed to contain a deposit of mud plaster that might have originally been applied to the surface of one of the walls
• ObservationsSeveral ashlar blocks are visible in the surface. It is possible to see some courses of the fallen walls. The surface of the context is characterized by a wide and deep depression next to SW side.The column (SF 2867) was parallel to 264 and alligned with other ashlars layng in the same direction. The stones were mixed with a high number of tiles; some of those were characterized by marks, one of which could be dated to the XIII century. Most of the datable material is made up of amphorae and table ware, which provide a date range from the IX to the XIII century. NB: some of the photos of this room (555-557) show the layer in the process of excavation, with material from between its upper and lower horizons
