floors II and I in other sections of the compound and shall consider it in relation to certain observations of an architectural character, which throw light on the nature of the catastrophe which occured at the time of the use of floor II.

The succession of the floors in the small room (II) is similar , with the difference that following the rearrangement only three floors occur instesd of four in the adjoining room. The catastrophe which occured on floor II in room III is witnessed here by the layer of ashes resting on the corresponding floor. The thickness of debris however is smaller, perhaps because the room was smaller.

It is therefore clear from this section that the South Building rests on the bedrock, that following its erection the pre-existing deposit was levelled and that soon a thick layer of calcareous rubble and marl was added to bring the floors to the same level as those in the other parts of the compound; that following floor V which was made on the filling, thorough rearrangements took place altering the previous tripartite arrangement
