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 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. 29 E gk84-85 31 E gk200 gf129,130,127 32 gk84 gf127 33 gk64 gf84 34 N gk82 35 W gk105 36 N gk84 38 E gk104 39 E gk82 40 E gk82 41 E gk104 43 E gk105 .ri pC .rd T731 45 gk104,73,82 gf212,221,201,239,233,234,197 ga7 Plan drawing of bin a7 400 gk64 401 gk65 402 gk73 403 gk74 404 gk75 405 gk84 406 gk85 407 gk86 408 gk87 409 gk101 410 gk102 411 gk200 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). 601 gk64,65,71,72,73,74,75,81,82,83,84,85,86,87,101,102,104,105,106,200 gf219,255,218,129,127,100,177,227 Plan drawing of the stone structures of the eastern portion of the monumental access to the Temple Terrace. 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.

The bricks are 40x40x10 cm large. The mudbricks are set on top of stones f201, used as base for the brick wall. f 201 ds f201 is the northern stone wall of bin a7. The wall can be distinguished in several parts. It is possible to distinguish a southern edge of the wall, made of 7 medium and large limestones set in a line with a NNW-SSE orientation, running 6 m in length and about 1 m in width. This wall is used as base for the mudbrick wall f233. Large flat stones f201.6, f201.4 and f201.3 are set in a North-South orientation resting on floor f239. A third part of wall f201 is represented by stones f201.1, f201.2, f201.7, f201.9, f201.8, f201.10, f201.11 with a N-S orientation for about 1,5 m in length and forming the western edge of bin a7.

The eastern part of the wall consists of small and medium sized limestone blocks forming a half-moon shape when seen in plan. The eastern part of the wall is 1-2 stones high and about 20-30 cm wide. The southern part of wall f197 is oriented NNW-SSE, parallel to wall f201, and consists of 8 medium to large stones, about 4 m long and 20 cm to 1 m wide (depending on the width of the stone).
