A.M.

A cut was taken in D-E/68-70 to a depth of ca. 50-55cm.  The soil was red-brown in color and contained heavy concentrations of disintegrated yellow plaster and carbon chunks.  A large amount of pottery (2 boxes) of all fabrics, including bucchero, buccheroid, impasto and orange wear, was discovered throughout the cut.  Several of the sherds (see find # 4) appear to be quite early in date.  Many pieces of bone (1 box) were also found.  Only one quarter cassetta of mixed tile and plaster (50% tile, 50% plaster) was removed.  Both the tile and plaster were extremely worn and very small in size.
