- a dirty grey-brown layer with a large amount of charcoal, white ash, bones
and ceramics;
- a layer of yellow and brown loess;
- a building layer of orange mortar;
- a make-up layer of łight-brown loess.
The pif provided great deal of animal skeletal and artefactual materials:
ceramics (imported teira sigillata dated to the lst century AD, oil lamps,
amphorae and other pieces of pottery), together with fragments of vessels,
weaponry and other metal objects [Sarnowski 2002, 165]. Lamps representing
Loeschke IV and IX types which display traces of usage have been found in
the pit. The lamps of these types originate from Greece or Italy [Sarnowski
2003a, 74], They have traces of usage on them as they are sooty. The pottery
assembly also contains the remains of 13 amphorae of Zeest 90 = Dyczek 25,
Selov A = Dyczek 28 and Gauloise [Sarnowski 2003a, 74], They originate
from Spain, Gaul and Italy, and also from the Black Sea coast. The pottery of
the teira sigillata type from the pit in Room Cz comes from South-Gallic (La
Grafesanąue), Italie and Eastern (Tralles) workshops. Ninę fragments of
Pompeian Red Ware from different vessels were also found [Sarnowski 2003a,
74]. Glass vessels from the same context are types imported from Italy,
common in the middle of the lst century AD. Thin walled Pannonian and
Italie bowls came to ligth together with shards of local Thracian hand-made
pottery finished on wheel. Examples of kitchen implements were also found:
a clay mortańum, parts of a knife handle (Inv. No. 219/02 w) and a salt cellars
(Inv. No. 216/02 w). The filling of the pit contained wastes of metallurgical
production like bronze and iron sheets and pieces of lead [Sarnowski 2003a,
74], charcoal, pieces of mudbrick and fragments of unstamped roof-tiles.
Animal bones from the pit in Room Cz have been analysed [Gręzak,
Piątkowska-Małecka 2006]. Four hundred and five single animal skeletal
remains have been identified [Gręzak, Piątkowska-Małecka 2006, 39]. Over
50% of them were pig bones, the rest belonged to cattle, sheep/goats, horse,
birds and fish [Gręzak, Piątkowska-Małecka 2006, 40-41], Traces of cutting,
chopping and roasting were discovered on bones’ surface [Gręzak,
Piątkowska-Małecka 2006, 43]. A few bones have dog-bite marks [Gręzak,
Piątkowska-Małecka 2006, 43]. The collection has been defined as a remain of
meat supplies prepared by the legionaries [Gręzak, Piątkowska-Małecka 2006,
43]. An important find from the layer 2 is bronze dupondius (RIC 92) emitted
by the emperor Claudius in the mint at Romę, between AD 41 and 50 (inv.
No. 220/02) [Sarnowski 2003a, 74], Among the assembly of artifacts from the
pit in the Room Cz there are four fragments of lońca seginentata.
1. Inv. No. 170/02w/l (fig. 5 A).
Fragment of a shoulder or a breast piąte, which had been connected with
lobate hinges [cf Robinson 1975,176, pl. 489; Bishop, Coulston 1993, 89, pl. 52,1].
