Addendum, to p. 73

In the main hall ( cleared only down to floor III at 0 m 90 average depth — though other horns exist lower down, according to soundings ), at least 26 bull skulls were uncovered, sometimes found in position facing each other in pairs . The greatest number of skulls corresponded to floor III , but it should be noted however that these remains of offerings of animals sacrificed during cultic ceremonies are distributed across the three layers covering the three floors ( I to III ) of beaten earth . These bull skulls , whose horns were generally fairly well preserved, appeared as coated with discontinuous patches of white lime and fragments of charcoal , while the nape or the forehead presenshowed black traces due to the action of fire . In addition to the bulls, there must have been sacrifices of deer , but fewer in number : only a single antler was uncovered , below a group of three heads of bulls . No intended or preferential orientation of the sacrificed bull skulls has yet been able to be noted
