Interpretation Su 1405 represents a probable ancient layer, but its position just below backfill layers from the old Italian excavations make it very likely that significant contamination occurred. 1405 probably represents a natural accumulation which post-date the destruction of road 1400, but the exact relationship remains uncertain while 1405 awaits excavation.
