The 11.20 = 11.41 floor in 2:27 goes to the line of the wall #3 (p. 134), sloping up to it, # and to #3a. In the section #6 the earth changes, though this too is trodden and slopes up to wall #3. This may well be a continuation of wall #5. In any case it was filled in at the time of the cous or before the construction of wall #3, the filling being later than the laying of the 11.20 = 11.41 floor.

The cut through the 11.20 = 11.41 floor. It is of sandy earth with many particles of yellowish-green decomposed rock. This stops three or four centimeters below at a firm sandy level, rather greyer in colour. At the west the 11.20 = 11.41 floor went to the line of wall #3a, but covering wall #7. Clearing to the level below 11.20 = 11.41 we find a marked change between the sandy level in the rest of the room and the wall line. There are many small and some large stones set with red-brown clayey earth with white grits but no yellow, surely the foundation of a wall. A To p. 139
