The number of nails found in this deposit and its homogenous nature suggest that it may be the collapsed pise used to construct wall 17012 in Room D. However, it is also possible that 20096 is a fill deposit of a large oval shaped cut, perhaps made in a later phase to remove wall stones from 17012 for reuse (in the construction of one of the drains?). In 2017 we also interpreted the southern extent of this deposit (17087) as fill of a cut (17109). 20096 = 17087 concentrated along the preserved extent of 17120 + 17012 and follows what would have been the line of 17012, dividing Room D into two separate rooms. If this collapse or fill + cut occurred after the mid-1st c. CE fire, why is it orange? It must have been exposed to heat at another point in time. Both 20096 and 17087 clearly cover a dense concentration of small stone and tile fragments, which cover a charcoal-rich deposit. The number of nails
