All these finds were found in the trench at places shown on the plans and photographs. When all this had been cleared down to a level c 1,05 below the 0-point of the statues, where something that can be interpreted as a floor level is found, the sequence of layers can be studied in broad outline .
Up to and including metre 6 in the large section, the layers in the buried part below the Bamboula height itself are broadly horizontal all the way up from the surface down to the rock which is met at 5,50 m below sherd-0. Only squares A-B are dug to this depth. Between 6,10 - 6,80 m in square A are found, at a depth of under sherd-zero two, two broad marble slabs lying horizontally in a row at right angles to the trench. With these the horizontal stratification is first broken somewhat obliquely, then at 7,20 m fully vertically down to a depth of 2,20 m below sherd 0, where similar marble slabs are again found. Below depth 2,40 the horizontal stratification continues again.
