He suggests it is roof of tunnel, but it lies also further out. The rock found at the outer "end" (step?) of the dromos remains valid. This stuff must have been used as floor as it certainly distinguishes itself from the stroma above; the late cut down into entrance to Tomb 1 Phot. 35 shows the edge of this, as it is now disappearing. The step down was .20 or less at top. The fill being removed has as yet no sherds. Being distinguished at bottom, an oblique cut in the guaranteed rock leads to the tunnel.
