For explanation, see p. 110.The problem here is if this layer mentioned as second i.e. third is part of the third layer which covers mud walls or whether it is in reality the fourth (third) layer. Certainly no such hard layer seemed to cover third layer over wall. This layer must somehow or other be fourth layer. If it is it fits in with general scheme of room. This north trench must be expanded Westerly to determine const trenches for mud wall and Easterly to determine trench for East N S wall. The crack in the bed rock may not allow afford enough soil to judge by. yes see p. 45-46.
