- A flat surface was recommended in the proposal as a necessary installation to support the assembled fragments of the sarcophagus box. The existing surface of the north platform, selected as the display site for the box, was uneven. A bedding layer of lime and sand mortar was first laid down to obtain a flat surface on which to set the limestone slabs.For more information on the installation of a base for the sarcophagus box, see section IV.7 in the Final Report.
