Description

Locus 7 consisted of a plaster-rich deposit. The plaster was contained in a rich brown, mottled soil, with terracotta, limestone, and charcoal inclusions. The soil of Locus 7 was loose in texture. Locus 7 was situated in the northern half of the trench, just to the north of the northern wall of the small, rectilinear building that overlay EPOC4 (Locus 2). We recovered high quantities of plaster, pottery, and bone from this locus, but little tile. Some of the plaster preserved reed impressions, indicating that the plaster may have come from wattle and daub walls. Locus 7 overlay Locus 8. Given the high quantities of plaster found in the locus, the loose consistency of the soil, and the locus’ stratigraphic positioning over what was shown to be the floor of EPOC4 in 2016 (Locus 8), Locus 7 likely is a collapsed wattle and daub wall associated with the small, rectilinear building built over the front porch of EPOC4. Materials recovered from this locus, including stamped bucchero, indicate that the locus and rectilinear building likely date to the second half of the 7th century BCE, and so are contemporary with OC1, OC2, OC3, and the small, non-elite structure found in CA in 2012 and 2013.
