Notes:   B5156 is basically the continuation of B5136. In B5136 the purpose was to remove wall 23 but mainly due to rainy conditions which could endanger the workmen, the process was stopped temporarily. B5156 resumed this process. For a description of the wall look at B5136. Upon removal of the uppermost courses a new phase of the wall was revealed, which was thinner in width. This second phase is probably contemporary with the phase of the wall that was removed in B5137
