Today, we spent most of the day removing US 2 in the western part of the trench. This allowed to reveal another section of the earth-beaten floor, partially exposed last year. The removal of the context also allowed to discover a new pillar of the room, and the side wall of the drain recently intercepted.
In the SE area of the trench, instead, we removed US 23, rich in fragments of mud bricks, cocciopesto and pottery. Just underneath it, a consistent deposit of charcoals, charred wood and kitchen ware appeared.
At the end of the day, we documented the entire area with a drone, also to be able to produce a 3D model of the excavation trench!
