Cleaning of the excavation + 2 small soundings.
a to the E, in the NE corner of the basin of water, one tries to [illegible] find the exact line of the bedrock, to check whether the bedrock really returns towards the west as on the drawing p. 13 (in that case, it would "close" the basin and would prevent the handling of the boats).
One removes what is clearly external fill: extremely compacted earth + pebbles, cobbles, etc. | sherds K90-98 + some sherds | 90-101 One finds underneath the green konos, bedrock in place.
2 observations = the bedrock, at surface / height (alt ± 0,70, cf. drawing p. 13), opens towards the E the basin was shallow, since the base of the bedrock - konos appears at the limit of the north section, at ± 20 cm - => depth of about 0,80 ?
b clearing of a white surface visible on the top of the bedrock to the N (level 0,99), which is visible over the whole base of the section West East, and which seems to level the irregularities of the bedrock - One wants to check whether it is a floor in slope of the ramp. But surface flat . => construction floor: preparation of the location where the ramp was built by adding fill above this floor.
