… the upper part of the stone bench is filled with numerous skeletal remains (see drawing 4 where only the clearest bones are drawn). These bones lie without any kind of order. The whole partition is being uncovered. The whole gives the impression of having been swept down from the stone bench, and the bones having remained there in the order in which they fell, which of course can be seen in the cross-section that is left here standing.
