Interpretation

    • Fill of grave cut for adult burial. Mottled fill, backfilling with same material as removed to make the cut. Adult found with decorated comb, dating to the roman period. Grave in close proximity to roman villa. Fill had large inclusions that looked the same as the stone making up the villa foundations, and tegula was found in the fill, grave potentially cut after the villas ruin.
