31 Though there is a certain lowering in a general way a tendency for the later coins to be on top, this tendency is to be discounted because of the late coins 2175, 2178, found in the fourth layer and because a number of the sherds from different layers fit together. Thus P2182 is composed of sherds from ninth and fourth layers, as is P2181 P2180 is composed of sherds from second and fourth. Sh 1379 from first and fourth. Sh 1370 from ninth and fourth. The fill must have been thrown in at the same time.

The most significant factor is the disparity in date between 2175 (Theo II ^408-450) and 2178 (Tiberius II 578 - 582.) This disparity is similar to the disparity in th from the coins upfrom under the cellar under the flagstones, between C 2106 (Hon. 395-423), Herac and C 2 79 82 (610-641)
