- A secondary temporary wooden platform was constructed between the edge of the south platform and the foot half of the granite box now lying in the central pit. This proved helpful as an additional staging area for assembled fragment groups belonging to the sides of the inner sarcophagus box. In addition it also serves as a convenient platform from which to photograph the different stages of construction of the limestone base for the inner sarcophagus box and the assembly of the box itself. For more information on the installation of temporary wooden platforms, see section IV.3 in the Final Report.
