over the supposed center of the tomb.

17-5-38 Dig through the yellow layer, which is firm and 5 to 15 cm. deep, sloping as the higher strosis did. It ends on looser red earth at 0.60.

Dig through the red earth, which is loose and contains numerous fair-sized stones. On the north this stops at a grey level ca. 20 cm. thick, which slopes down rapidly just over the stones of the E. wall, but in the S-E the red earth is cut down through the grey level. This red earth seems to be in a treasure-hunter's shaft. Clear out the red earth and then dig below the grey level, finding loose red earth with stones again, but not so loose as that above.

Photo Bam. 27918-5-38 At the W find an oblique line of stones several courses high. The red earth stops at a fairly level grey strosis 2.00 below the surface and 0.70 below the highest stone of the east wall. The line of stones in the west rests on this level. (to p. 81)
