… In this light brick-debris layer there are also darker patches; the darker reddish earth may be said to make up the main mass in which the lighter brick fragments are scattered. They lie, however, quite close; the transition to the lower dark layer is marked sharply by this. This upper light layer is extremely poor in pottery. This layer has evidently once been considerably thicker but has been damaged by the destructive cultivation. One can, however, clearly make out a direction of collapse from the wall towards room 5 and in towards room 6 (section b). Also a similar slope in the collapse seems to be traceable in section a from the large wall to room 7. Under this light layer, following with a sharply marked transition, there follows a considerably more homogeneous dark layer of the same appearance as layer 5 in Room 5.
