- at the foot of staircase 490, a line of plaster bounding the negative of a square block, unexplained;

- the level reached at the foot of the staircase is probably not floor 477;

- brick wall 489, in the baulk J8/2-I8/1, does not rest on anything precise (fill of konos and stones), it probably constitutes an element of the upper fill (=2e fill), which could have been "partitioned" (working hypothesis...)
