Structure Description floor surface from very compacted, very orange tufo fragments up to 5 cm in diameter. The tufo seems to have been heated to get this color and probably also to dry it. No binding agent seems to have been used within the floor, but in some parts this floor has a pale, very smooth surface, like a white-wash or a sort of very thin Estrich (German word, english = ?)
