| Description SIA | SUs 1006 and 1072-1075: dense concentration of Hellenistic and Roman pottery. The nature of the ceramic assemblage from these periods, which includes many tablewares and lamps, leads KWJ to believe that this pottery represents fill from tombs located nearby (at an as yet unknown location) rather than a settlement. No clear geomorphological evidence that this is the case (needs checking). |
