b it would seem that it has a return towards the 8 north at the level of the reinforcement 530. = well-bonded angle in plaster = floor extremely compacted, in whitish konos, no doubt flattened by the weight of the wall = collapsed stones? in the north face of the square.

c the south trench of wall 432 (= 442) widens at the level of reinforcement 530, bigger than the others, and longer in foundation.

to clarify all these problems, it is necessary to: - open H8/3 to the east to verify the continuation of the wall towards the east - open I8/3 to the west, to find again the west face of the buttress 4 530 and the trace of the north return. - open to the north? to follow the partition wall?
