This view shows the patches of white plant material found during excavation of the mud ledge f423 along the edge of k31. Note how the white layers slope opposite the slope of the layers within the mud ledge. This suggests that the white layers are actually in the accumulation pressed up against the mud ledge, left by the workmen as they dug downwards. However, one must then ask why we have only observed the white at the very edge of the circle, and not in the middle. Could the ledge have two slopes? Also visible is the fissure between the accumulation within the circle and the stone wall of the structure, which (at this level) still seems to continue for over a meter, suggesting that we still have at least a meter of excavation.
