The layers that appear in these sections are obviously not natural collapse layers formed from weathered mud-brick walls or other natural displacements of earth. The layers are so varied and abruptly alternating that one is justified in assuming that they were brought there in connection with the laying of the floor. The corner sections are designated, as shown in the sketch, a (in the direction of the wall slope) and b (at right angles to this). A cut of the layers in the corner section itself gives the following result:

11,55 mBlack surface layer
21,20 mReddish layer resulting
from dissolved dark mudbrick.
31,00 mGreen, fine sandy layer
40,88 mGrey earth with light mudbrick-
fragments
50,80 m= 3 and runs inside the section-
corner together with this.
60,65 mLarger and smaller stones without
intervening earth.
