Photograph

English, translated from the French record

The west part of stratigraphic unit S20-01 is being excavated at the Mound, removing the surface vegetation layer, with a view to the north of locus 921. Work is clearing the area around stones visible on the surface, uncovering a very friable whitish layer with a high concentration of plaster and gypsum fragments.
