level. Further we both make out a line running about .10 or .12 above floor (indicated doubtfully by dotted line on section). (Not holes as indicated)
Taking down chavara fill on top, find its under surface sloped down sharply and irregularly toward center line of stomion. Achmet distinguishes dark earth between layers of white earth in remaining earth of martyra. Clear away first upper white, mark on section line of surface of dark (sharper slope down than chavara on top had). Clear away the dark, finding a good many small sherds of coarse ware. Harder white is cleared at .06 W to .09 E above floor. Had also a few sherds. Note that the rock framing this entrance, E side (i.e. toward center of tomb) had been cut away apparently by our earlier digging so line is false & higher here probably.
