Possibly the lowest earth has come from the walls above in rooms 25-26 etc. since the wall in this direction evidently gradually gave way. Possibly the upper floor of 71 only later collapsed and thereby formed the brown fill. The cement pieces between the two layers are however probably not from the upper floor of 71. They are of the same kind as those in the basins in rooms 25-26 and have probably gradually followed the grey earth. In room 71 two finds are made in the brown-red earth:

Fragment of a female painted terracotta statuette l 6,8 cm429.
Sitting male naked terracotta statuette h 5 cm449.

In the vicinity of these finds were observed some imported washbasin sherds.

The outer part of this whole maga zine range is exposed. The earth from the magazines is not carried far away but is only laid out side the various rooms, from where the winter rains will carry it down the slope.
