Remarks

Remarks:

Rubble that was originally thought to be a curve in Wall 3; as a consistent pattern & other courses were missing, it was decided to pull the rocks & go down looking for the continuation of Wall 3 under the tumble; the search area included Loca 9 & 11 at which 9 had originally been in L 5 & 11 equals L 6 which is from now on equal to L 7; a lower course of Wall 3 was discovered & L 7 will now be on the E side of Wall 3 & L 5 will be on the W side
