Interpretation The two tufo slabs that mark the top of a well give room 2 the appearance of possibly being a courtyard. For some reason the well was capped. At a later date the right slab was partially cut into by a grave cut. Although they are carved tufo, there appears to be some sort of white-wash that was applied to the top.
