The first top meter consists in natural accumulations, then f37 is a dump. Under it begins the brickfall, were the top part is brickmelt f70, f22, f71 and brickfall f86, f82 which is 2 m thick. Under it the glacis f110, f107 stops the brickfall and slopes toward south west. Under the glacis natural accumulations and some ashy layers and a floor f154, which are even. f7,f18 are natural accumulations, f22 is a bricky accumulation even if there are no bricks showing in section. In K75 we stopped excavations with f107.

28 E gk84,85 gf184,158,100,99,130 Eastern section of the German trench, in the area around the bottom of the staircase. In J6 is the level left at the end of the season at loci k94 and k85. At the North we can see the stone wall (f..) over which the big boulder f.. is reclining. Between the reclining boulder and the wall there are some bricks laid there to help holding the stone. The rest of the deposits are basically a lot of fine bricky layers, some more compact and some more sandy with pebbles. This big layer is just separated by a thin line, maybe a floor (number 6), more reddish and compact, that develops into an ash layer going South (number 8). Also standing out is a layer of light greyish soil (number 10), between two masses of brown multilayered deposits (numbers 9 and 11). At the bottom, abutting the last of the excavated steps of the staircase, we have a pebble floor (number 13). It is very thick and short, just appearing some meter and a half, but with some very large pebbles. It disappears southwards. The list of the features is as follows: 0) Red (5YR7/3) and grey (5YR8/1) mud bricks, 1) Upper surface, sometimes hard, sometimes sandy (7.5YR6/4), 2) Slightly more greyish layer (5YR8/1), not very clear, 3) Thin pebble lens, 4) Softer brown layer, 5) Bricky brown layer that, more to the south, combine lines of more bricky with more sandy layers (7.5YR6/4), 6)A thin reddish layer, harder, maybe a floor (…), 7) Softer red layer (see number 5), 8) Darker grey layer (10YR6/1), with ashes, that follows the red floor number 6 running south, 9) Another thick deposit of combination of bricky and softer and sandy layers (see number 5), 10) Light grey layer (10YR7/2), 11) Combined lines of bricky and crumbly (5YR6/6) with more compact dull layers (7.5YR6/4), 12) Faint greyish line over the pebble floor, 13) Heavy pebbled floor.

600 E gk84,85 gf127,129,130,100,177,255 Drawing of the western face of the flank staircase wall f129. The wall flanks the staircase for an overall lenght of 12.67 m. The beginning of the wall at the southern side, where also the steps of the staicase begin, is marked by two stones f100, f177 set in oblique fashion. Between the oblique stone f100 and the southern face of the wall f129, mudbricks are laid to give the same inclination as oblique stone f177, which is thicker. The wall f129 is buttressed in the southwesten end. The buttress is 1.20 m wide at the base and sticks out for ca. 0.15 m in respect of the remaining portion of the wall. The entire upper portion of the wall f127 is covered by large and medium-sized angular flat stones, resting on top of a thick and irregular layer of mud. Here is also visible the staircase, which is desribed in Unit J2. It is possible to see from this drawing, different construction techniques of the staircase and of the wall (and of course here are visible several construction phases).

Wall f128 flanks the entire staircase in Unit J2. The upper stones of the wall are f127. The wall abuts wall f218. Stone obelisks f100 and f177 mark the beginning of the wall and of the monumental access. Wall f129 is wider at the base. A stone wall f227 is set perpendicular to f129.
602 gk71,72,73,104 gf227,218 Cross section showing wall f218 and f227. In this drawing the wall is 3.25 m high, the wall is slightly convex to the outside and consists of 9 uneven courses of medium and large angular stones. Five meters to the south is visible wall f227, which is exposed for only two courses.
603 gk104,83 gf127,129,255 Cross-section through the monumental staircase J2f131, J2f130 and the flanking staircase wall f127, f129. Wall f129 is regular, the lower portion of the wall sticks out. The upper stones belong to a later construction phase f127. The wall in this portion is 2.75 m high.
