... Another find spot of relevance for landscape studies is found in the close vicinity to the city's southern gate ( Fig. 7. 8) which was excavated 1971 -1974 and again re-excavated in 1992 after it had been completely silted up again in the two decades between 1974 and 1992 38 . About 20 m eastern of the gate, leaning on the outer face of the Late Roman city wall, the excavators left untouched a wellstratified earth block with about 40 clearly distinguishable ...

... can be seen on pictures taken by Puttrich-Reignards in his campaign in 1937 (Fig. 27). The "assessment trench" of the Getty conservation study in 1998 revealed several archaeological strata outside the south-western wall of the palace, but the relation between these strata and the palace can only be estimated due to a lack of height measurements (Fig. 28) 72 . Height measurements by the author in October 2011 tried to reconstruct the depth of the layers by measuring the top of the excavation dumps which served as 'zero' to the Getty surveyors of 1998. Its maximum height of 203.35 m below mean sea level would indicate that the layer of virgin (?) soil observed in the Getty trench might ...
