Unknown Date Marzuolo Archaeologist

Continuation down of 18023, distinguished from 18023 based on being below the level of 18030. Dense packing of tile and large amphora shards. Occasional patches of mortar, but substantially less than 18037. Lower levels had more fist-sized stones and less amphora. Large stones towards the bottom level seem to be from wall collapse - most prevalent in the corner of 18016/18015.
