The layers extend, on the whole, mainly horizontally, both into towards b) and a). In b, however, between 6 (black cultural layer) and 7 (red sterile subsoil) there is, itself running in the direction from the section corner, an ever thicker layer of red raw-brick earth with inclusions of dark red sterile subsoil, which by the wall towards room 16 extends right down to the rock. In this earth the jar was found, with its upper parts extending up into the burnt layers lying above.
