- Continuation of UF 18, at J8/1 and J9/4. K88/136 to 144 cleaning of wall 707 Classical clearing of the facing/West of the massif 489, relatively well built - But the massif itself is torn out -

- large cleanings elsewhere -

- In UF 18, we find the continuation of the [illegible] facing / West of massif 489 +, towards the South, massif 489 itself, well preserved -

Like massif 490, massif 489 is covered by a yellow floor = 711 [illegible] this same yellow floor appears perfectly in the N section of J9/4, [illegible] covering the West facings and East and slightly bulged in the centre. appears perfectly in South section of J9/3, covering the do facings in brick West and East, slightly bulged in the centre covers, to the West (H9/4), the W facing of massif 489

=> this phase 2 (repair, cf. p. 20, a and b) would in fact be a reconstruction coarser of the ramps, 2nd phase of use of the ramps rebuilt at a higher level. The marmaro slabs along the walls 452, 708, 707, etc... would be the "floors" of this second phase, just like the yellow fill of the floor 477 and basins 447 - = Chantiers Navals de Bamboula, phase 1 = massifs phase 2 = facings phase 3 = filling -
