ds Stone wall east-west oriented, beginning north of staircase and ^wall6, continues to the east for 7.60m, turns north with a 90° angle continuing for 6.60m. The structure is not completely exposed, but for what is possible to understand, it consists of one single wall which on the southern side is 9 rows high and for the eastern side only 4 rows are exposed (max height 3.25m): the masonry is the same for all the lower portion; the upper part instead is damaged and consists in an irregular laid stones. To the east and to the south an earth escarpment ^glacis8 and ^glacis9 abuts it.

ds A monumental stepped stone structure with 21 steps, rising 6 m in height. To the east, it is flanked by staircase st2; to the west, it is flanked by the lower half of flank wall w4. The staircase has a north-east axis, rising from the plaza to the terrace. It is parallelogram-shaped and inclined to the west by 20 cm. The lower half is regular, whereas the upper part looks irregular and is damaged. The height of the steps in the lower half corresponds to the height of the steps in the staircase, whereas in the upper half the steps are higher. The first two steps at the top are missing. Below the upper steps is visible the mudbrick glacis ^g1.

L99 The steps are made of medium-sized, irregularly shaped stones arranged in regular lines. The upper stone overlaps the lower stone by 2–5 cm. Smaller stones are set under the steps to adjust for their uneven backsides. Some larger stones are positioned beneath the step stones to form a substructure.

M1 The purpose of the structure is unclear. It was possibly built to overcome the height difference between the plaza and the terrace. However, the steps are too high to climb comfortably. It may have been intended for use as a seating area. The structure is monumental in size.

ds Compact gray surface incorporating small pebbles and ceramic sherds, abutting the lowest visible step of ^apr1. Firstly exposed in season 2001 (C2Inst.918) at the elevation of 8720m immediatly adiacent to the step and descending to 8700m at the distance of 6m south, then rising again about 20cm. The same floor was documented in season 2005 with the feature J2f179, which sealed J2f194 in the same place at the elevation of 8721m. The description of the feature is of a brownish-yellow hard accumulation containing gypsum and pebbles. In season 2009 a gray layer J2392 was recorded in the western section of J2k100 at the elevaion of 8720m-. The layer is in section about 10 cm thick and gray in colour. Comparing the east section of C2 published from the german team and the west section of k100, the features above mentioned are the same floor.
