Description: Latitude: 37.40.54.87 Longitude: 28.42.31.19 Elevation: 550m Description: This farmstead is located to the north of Villa/ Farmstead B063. Numerous architectural fragments are littered around and built into two farmhouses. A large number of agricultural blocks are seen here: three counterweight blocks, two socket blocks, three mortars and a counterweight block later converted into a socket block. The agricultural blocks were originally recorded in two separate records (B060 and B062), but it seems to be that they are from one farmstead. The agricultural blocks may actually reflect the processing area of the villa B063 to the south. Very close to these remains is a built Roman monumental tomb (F018). The pottery indicates that the site was occupied in the High Imperial to Late Antique periods. There were no examples of the earlier LCW; there is some GCW, and some Byzantine and Ottoman sherds. Finds: Systematic pottery collection on 5/27/2008
