Pit no. 56 - We are at 2,50 m below depth from the upper part of the ovoid structure - Sherds of large vessels -

Pit no. 7 - At 90 cm below the level of the bench, beginning of widening. At the same level, fairly abundant pottery, but these are sherds of large jars without decoration - The fill is reddish, and one finds areas quite red (mud brick)

Pit no. 3, east chamber - Photograph of the burial (cf p. 27/28) by J P Nicolardot - A little further to the west than this one, a plaque of silt has a slightly curved shape, as if it retained the impression of something unrecognisable -
