The tomb has been continued to be dug. Locus:7685:035 appears to refer to the tomb fill or pit fill, which seems to be supported (along its outer edges) by the upright-standing roof tiles. The actual tomb is located at the bottom of the 'shaft'. A series of stones (originally interpreted as cover stones) seal off the inhumation, whose head can be seen protruding from the east wall of pit Locus:7685:034 . The pit fill consists of relatively loose grayish-brown soil. Only little pottery was found. At the level of the stones, the earth begins to change. The material turns very loose and seems to be associated with the fill below the stones, which are referred to as Locus:7685:048 .

Note that the alleged cover stones turned out to be part of the collapsed fill of the tomb. For more details see Locus:7685:051 .
