… the architecture next to the wall may be stated as follows: Only one metre from the wall and parallel to it runs another wall, which forms an external corner in the middle of the trench. Between these two walls there is thus formed a 1 m wide passage, in which the fire layer lies. The passage then continues at the same width down in the direction of the first palace rooms. Over the stone wall that bounds the passage or corridor to the south there are the well preserved though hard-to-detect remains of a mud-brick annex. The joints of the bricks are dark, whereas the bricks themselves are lighter, of the same sort as were earlier found in several places in the fill layers. The passage's other bounding wall (to the north) has also been raised with a mud-brick wall, though evidently of a somewhat darker kind. This wall has had gypsum plaster on both sides, something which cannot certainly be decided as regards the first wall.
