riempimento interno

English translation: interior fill

Art/Literary - Archaeology
Italian term or phrase: riempimento interno
This is from an article on funeral rites and grave goods.

La sepoltura, appena intaccata dalle arature nella parte superiore, era protetta da un’anfora (di tipo Dressel 6B) deposta nella fossa con il collo rivolto verso il fondo; il puntale e altri frammenti si trovavano, invece, nel ***riempimento interno***.
I resti ossei erano contenuti nell’anfora e in un ossuario; un’altra olla, rinvenuta in frammenti in testa al riempimento con poche ossa bruciate, induce ad ipotizzare che i resti ossei rinvenuti nella sepoltura appartenessero ad almeno due individui, probabilmente legati da vincoli di parentela.

Not really sure how to translate this, so any help would be greatly appreciated. TIA

Explanation:
'...this new evidence does suggest that at least some damage was done at the time. It also indicates that the Jews were eliminated from the life of the city to such an extent that not long afterwards the stones from their buildings could be used as the interior fill</>b of a Roman monument.'
