Definition soil in corridor between SU 1183 and SU 1186
Formation Process Accumulation
Plaster (details) 2016 edit: 5 fragments retained, the remainder discarded because they had disintegrated. Yellow and white.

Observations The soil fills the corridor that sits between the western wall of room 1 (SU 1183) and the eastern wall of room 2 (SU 1186). Also cut at southern end by cappuccina tomb.
Position south central
Shape narrow rectilinear shape, longer in length than width
Layer Surface slightly southward
Layer Inclusion Observations soil is composed of small rubble and granualr silt - inclusions are densest at center and southern end
Layer Thickness Observations failry even, but decreases in central area of the SU which corresponds to intrusion cut SU
Layer Interface Other
Layer Interface (Other Notes) difficult to determine without reminv the soil
Finds Observations bucchero: fragments of handle projecting from rim; bone: 1 small bag; plaster: 1 box
