Designation

Roster Date Author Record
Description (summary) 2008-09-03 lC Big stone pavement constructed of big, medium and small stones. In its northern part and in the eastern half it is built with medium sized (15x20 cm) and big sized (25x40 cm) stones. The eastern edge of the pavement forms a sharp straight line, with just a small semicircular lacuna in the middle, instead the southern edge is not really clear with the co presence of both big stones, small pebbles and numerous sherds. The western half is constructed of small pebbles (5-10 cm), and noteworthy is the gradual passage from the big sized stones in the eastern part to the small pebbles of the western one. The edge to the west has been uncovered only in a small part and it is formed by a regular line of pebbles. The northern portion is built with big stones, but the edge is marked by a line of small pebbles. Small pebbles are found also between the big stones to make the pavement more regular. In this pavement have been used different kinds of stone: basalt and limestone, but also reused broken pieces of grinding stones or mortars, and also a big kiln waste. The pavement has a surface almost flat and regular, sloping slightly toward west. In its south-eastern corner it is built with a different technique, forming a sort of circular platform with the biggest stones of the pavement and slightly higher in level, perhaps due to a secondary reconstruction. Can it be interpreted both as a roofed room or as open space (courtyard)?. [Input: S903LC.j]
