General description of the space

Almost rectangular corridor (4,80 x 1,65- 1,80 m) which distributes the circulation from staircase IV A around the underground spaces. The walls are preserved at a height of around 1,50 to around 1,90 m. As in all underground spaces of Building B - apart from V5 - they were coated with a blue mortar. The floor was coated by either a whitish or a blue mortar.
The corridor is delineated in the South by a partition wall which bears an opening, leading to Space V5, yet with no traces of a closing device. Two doors on the Eastern wall lead to spaces V6 and V2, respectively. No objects were found in this space.
