… which leads down roughly in the direction of the trench down the slope. The stairs consist of four steps leading down onto a sloping stone floor, which ends in a straight edge m from the lowest step. The earth over this area has a completely different character from that in the Detfino layer. Regarding the stairs it should be noted that they originally were higher and to judge by everything, led up to the floor level above Detfino which in that case forms the filling under the stairs. Thus the layer's thinning downward is explained. (For the details of the layer sequence see below.) Below the stone floor edge the unworked rock is scraped without anything of interest appearing until the trench, after m, cuts a coarsely laid wall that is preserved up to the ground surface. Below the wall the rock has the same raw appearance as immediately above, which is why the trench is not extended further (see section drawing).
