Description (summary) 2005-08-23 sC f216 has been assigned to a layer characterized by a very fine consistence, due to the presence of melted bricks that give to the area a brown-reddish coloration. It is located in in the south-eastern area of k4 ( r674, r675, r676), in the corner with f144,: it is very fine in texture; the presence of some ash areas suggests that this feature could be the same of f150 in k3, f171 in k13 and f174 in k101. The consistence is medium soft; when wet is a bit plastic, leaves colour on fingers, light brown in color; once dry, it assume a grayish coloration. f216 abuts f218 (on the west), and the boundary between them is sharp.
