Above, a layer filled with mudbrick debris is noted

raw (thickness 0,35 m), surmounted by a 2nd floor, situated ap-

proximately at the level of the upper part of the walls of the "room"

of whitish earth, 0,12 m thick in its present state.

The presence of a layer of earth 0,30m above

the cover slabs ensured the solidity of the vault, more

certainly so than the few stones recovered.

We note further that the upper surface of the cover slabs

lay at 2,30 m. above the floor of the tomb. In the

cover slabs, two are noted in shell limestone.

Such a tomb presents notable differences of

structure from tomb 1336, but its covering system

perhaps allows one to form an idea of that which covered the

neighbouring tomb.
