Description This SU was designed to take the SE corner of EU 2 to the mortar as the west. However, after removing a few cm of soil, we discovered a very soft soil fill, which was in the place where the mortar bed should have been. It appears that someone dug into the mortar bed0 there are many pottery fragments in this pit. While defining the now SU, we discovered a piece of statuary -- We have left this in the fill and will remove it as part of the next SU.
Bottom elevation: 55.30.
