excavation revealed to spread nearly the entire width of the trench and through B/12, sloping downward sharply at the begiining of C/1-2.  Directly above the bedrock lay a thin layer of galestra which thickened from the beginning of C/1-2 and continued to the wall.  Isolated sherds in A/1-2 and fragments of an orange ware bowl in D/2 provided the only pottery at this depth.

In cut in G-H/1-2 was also resumed and deepened to a 70cm depth.  The soil is fine and heavily carbonized, containing numerous bucchero, impasto and tile fragments.
