General description of the imprint
It is on the interior surface of the East surrounding wall of the Staircase IA. It is located right next to a big transversal beam hole, yet it is unclear to what it corresponded. It does not seem as the imprint of a secondary longitudinal beam of the Staircase, because it is horizontal, with no inclination. Perhaps it indicates the presence of some kind of timber grid that would stabilize the mixed "dorosis" (mixture of rubble, earth and vegetal materials) that served as a base for the staircases?
