Late Roman/Byzantine burial. The grave is lined with 7 upright roof tiles vertically placed. The grave fill consists of both friable soils and compound ones. The head tile is set such that it appears longer than the others. At a ''TT'' configuration rather then head up. There isn't a file at the position at the feet. The fill was quite deep with the skeleton lying directly on another set of tiles (5), which were placed horizontally to complete the grave lining. There is no upright tile at the skeleton's feet to close the other like a box. The closing happened though, by using a mudbrick for that purpose.
The cut is larger at the top, going with that width downwards for cca. 20-25cm; than it gets narrower (exactly enough to fit the tegulae inö so that they make a solid structure). |
