Notes:   B55 is a pass to the E of the supporting beam and W of a row of boulders in the fill of the Hellenistic cistern (Cellar 2005-1), N of the of the villa pool, W of wall 282, S of W 265 and E of W 283. The row of boulders were uncovered in B54. The matrix and inclusions of B55 are basically the same as B54. After the first pass (ca. 5 cm) a differentiated deposit was uncovered in the NE section of the area described above, with a higher concentration of small rounded pebbles. The deposit to the S of the differentiated are has the same matrix and composition as the first pass, so the basket was continued in the S area for a second pass.
