Abuts wall 16002 (RGV)

2016-07-20 Marzuolo Archaeologist

We still believe this to be outside the structure that was below the tile collapse and above the leveling chocolately layer. 1 fragment of medieval ceramic was found along with Roman. Relationship between 16024 and wall 16002 is somewhat unclear but possibly 16024 covers it. Relationship with monumental stone in the NW corner also unclear.
